How do you share your knowledge with your team to help them reach their full potential, and how do you ensure they stay updated with the latest regulatory reforms?
I believe mentorship is central to a thriving legal practice, and I follow an open-door approach where discussions on case strategies, interpreting complex legal provisions, and sharing courtroom insights are
encouraged. Learning, in my view, is dynamic and rooted in real-time experience rather than rigid hierarchy.
I work to identify each team member’s strengths early on, aligning them with responsibilities such as research, drafting, advocacy, or client management. By fostering ownership and being available for guidance, I help them grow with confidence. To stay updated with legal reforms, we use databases, newsletters, journals, and webinars, ensuring advice remains both practical and relevant. My aim is to create a culture of continuous learning, ethical practice, and professional growth for every lawyer.
What strategies would you adopt to strengthen an organization’s legal defense when it encounters legal issues?
The foundation of any defense lies in fact verification and documentation, ensuring all records and evidence are preserved and organized. I then map legal risks to identify compliance gaps or procedural lapses before tailoring the defense to the issue at hand, whether regulatory, contractual, employment, or criminal. Alongside building a credible narrative rooted in precedent, I often suggest preventive audits to address systemic concerns. Emphasizing transparency, preparedness, and proactive planning, my goal is not only to resolve the immediate matter but also to strengthen the client’s long-term legal resilience.
Can you describe your leadership approach and the principles or methods you follow in guiding your team?
I see leadership not as authority but as responsibility and the ability to create an environment where others can thrive. My approach is anchored in accountability, mentorship, and clarity of vision. I ensure my team understands both tasks and their purpose, which strengthens efforts and morale.
Empowerment is central to my style. I value collaborative decision making, welcoming diverse perspectives that often produce stronger solutions. Continuous learning is another corner stone, supported by discussions, debriefs, and

What vision or future direction are you working towards in your professional journey?
My vision for the future is to grow as both a legal professional and a trusted advisor, helping clients navigate complex legal regulatory, and business challenges. I aspire to build a practice that is nationally respected and internationally relevant, with greater focus on emerging fields such as technology law, ESG compliance, data protection, and cross-border advisory.
As India undergoes legal and economic transformation, I aim to position my firm at the forefront of this change. Equally important is my commitment to mentorship, fostering the next generation of lawyers through education and guidance. Ultimately, my goal is to create lasting impact by promoting ethics, excellence, and wider access to quality legal support.
What advice would you offer to individuals entering the legal field as they prepare to seize future opportunities?
My advice to young professionals is to build a strong foundation, stay adaptable, and hold firmly to values of integrity, discipline, and empathy. The legal field now spans corporate law, technology, policy, arbitration, and more, but mastering fundamentals like research, drafting, advocacy, and critical thinking is essential.
Remain curious, read widely, and under stand how law intersects with business, technology, and society. Embrace change, be tech-savvy, and create opportunities by upskilling. Patience and persistence are vital, as success requires time and resilience. Above all, stay grounded. Law is not only a profession but also a service to justice and society.
