International arbitration, US law practice, LLM and so much more - with DR. KABIR DUGGAL

There are people who leave you in awe with just how MUCH they have accomplish, and continue to accomplish, in one lifetime. Kabir is one such person for me. 
 
The first time I met Kabir, was when I was a student at the investment arbitration class at Columbia Law School and Kabir was assisting my then professor, and he rattled off, without looking at any reference material statistics of ANY investment arbitration case that had ever been decided. My 'awe' began there, and hasn't stopped yet. Through this conversation, you'd probably see why.
 
Kabir has not one, but four international law degrees, he has walked the halls of some of the greatest law schools in the world, he is associated in an academic capacity with some of the greatest law schools in America, he is an Attorney with the large, full-service law firm, and amid all this, he finds the time to dedicate himself to campaigning for and making an impact in bringing in greater diversity in the international arbitration space... AND... doing yoga!! Phew! I'm exhausted just writing his bio!
 
Listen to this brilliant conversation, make notes and take away something meaningful from this.

All About wills! [Part- 1]

I run a #AskJenna question box periodically up on the Daily Lawyer Instagram (@thedailylawyerig), and this time, I was asked to speak about 'wills'.
 
I have a lot to say about wills and since #lawsimplified is a bite-sized legal information segment, I decided to break this up into sections. So this is the first episode in that mini-series.
 
In this episode, I speak about What are wills and Why one must make a will.
 
If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean the world to me if you could take some time off and write a review for the podcast up on Apple reviews (https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/the-daily-lawyer-podcast/id1621919832)

Shipping laws, dual qualified lawyer and so much more with SIDDHARTH RANKA

In today’s #careersinlaw episode, we have Adv. Siddharth Ranka, a dual-qualified lawyer (qualified both in India and England), currently working in Dubai (!), to speak about maritime or shipping law.
 
Siddharth has a wonderfully focussed and rounded experience within the maritime law space - not just in India but also other major shipping hubs like Singapore and Dubai. He has worked both in a law firm set up and as an in-house counsel, thereby seeing both sides of the proverbial coin, when it comes to general legal practice. 
 
Siddharth also speaks about getting qualified as a Solicitor (England& Wales), the process to do so and the utility of this degree. This completely honest conversation  is packed with useful tips and tricks and  I cannot be more thankful to Siddharth for being so generous with his time and sharing his learnings so selflessly on this platform.

5 things you need to do BEFORE you launch a business

In this age of everyday unicorns and occasional decacorns, being an entrepreneur is becoming an attractive dream. And I am all for this burgeoning trend. 
 
We see a lot of literature on the latest business trends or start-up innovations, but we rarely see or hear practical tips that are needed in order to start your business.
 
I've put together 5 points that I think a potential entrepreneur needs to think about BEFORE he starts a business. I believe going through each of these points and having a clear understanding of where you stand relative to each, will be hugely beneficial in giving you a clear direction of the next steps you need to take in the business
 I hope you enjoy this episode. IF you did, please share and subscribe to the podcast. It would mean a lot to me if you could leave me a review. Or leave a comment on our social media handles -
