The Lawyers Serving Society Beyond The Courts
The legal profession in the country is in a state of perpetual change, and attorneys face brand-new professional obstacles on a regular basis. A career as a lawyer is one of the most sought-after in India because of the high respect it garners and the lucrative income it offers.

In India, lawyers working in private practice are held to a higher standard than their peers working in other professions. They possess the ability to mould civilizations, bring about fundamental transformations, and ascend to the highest echelons of authority.

Beginning with a single Consulting Office in Varanasi, Maheshwar Management & Enterprise Limited (MME LTD) was officially established in 2010. Since then, the Business Strategy Consultancy has expanded to new heights, enabling MME LTD to support both startups and long-standing enterprises as they achieve rapid, sustained, and sustainable growth.

It is planned that MME builds a 10 MW solar power plant at Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, which is 80 km from Lucknow and 20 km from Kanpur. Through this project, MME will showcase its rapid learning skills and leadership in high-efficiency solar power systems by constructing Uttar Pradesh’s largest solar power plant in an unprecedented three months from the day the site was made accessible in May 2020. The project resounds with the brilliance of its concept and the engineering team that saw it through in record time with faultless execution and anticipation of the enormous obstacles that came with it.
Under the REC programme, MMEL has proposed establishing a 10 MW solar power facility. One of the most well-known manufacturers in the world uses only traditional gridconnected electricity for their whole production process. Thus, finding a sustainable energy source for them required tackling
site complexity issues and developing an efficient plant layout. With an annual output of over 18,000 MWh (about 10 million units), the solar power facility can provide electricity to more than 70,000 Indian houses. UPPCL (Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited) would purchase the plant’s output to serve local consumers better.

Justice DY Chandrachud, New CJI India| How the Chief Justice of India is Appointed
On November 8, 2022, Justice DY Chandrachud took over as Chief Justice of India from Justice UU Lalit. On November 9, he was officially installed as India’s 50th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. On October 11, the current CJI announced that Chandrachud would be his successor. While his predecessor only served for 74 days, Justice Chandrachud will be CJI for two years.
Justice Chandrachud has had a distinguished career, and he has participated in several important decisions. These include the ones on the Ayodhya title dispute, the decriminalisation of homosexuality, adultery, privacy, and the admittance of women into the Sabarimala temple, among others.
DY Chandrachud earned a PhD in law from Harvard University and a BA (Honors) in economics from St. Stephen’s College in New Delhi. His next stop was the Campus Law Centre at Delhi University, where he earned his Bachelor of Laws degree.
He worked as a lawyer in both the Supreme Court and the Bombay High Court. On March 29, 2000, he was officially named a judge for the Bombay High Court. From 1998 to 2000, he worked as India’s Additional Solicitor General.
A senior lawyer since June 1998, he received this title from the Bombay High Court. He was elevated to the Supreme Court on May 13, 2016, but before that, he served as Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court from October 31, 2013.
In the past, the new CJI has been known for being unconventional. His father, Y.V. Chandrachud, served as Chief Justice of India (CJI) for seven years and four months (1978–1985).
This would be the first time in India’s Supreme Court’s nearly seven-decade history that a father and son have held the same position. DY Chandrachud is particularly well-known for reversing two of his father’s judgements on adultery and the right to privacy.
At the University of Mumbai and the Oklahoma University School of Law in the United States, he has taught courses on comparative constitutional law as a visiting professor.
During the mandatory quarantine period caused by the epidemic, virtual hearings were initiated, thanks mainly to the efforts of Chandrachud. Such investigations are now a standard part of the procedure.
The reputation of Justice Chandrachud’s cricket fandom precedes him. Chandrachud, a notorious workaholic, presided over a bench on September 30, 2022, that sat until 9:10 pm, far beyond regular business hours, to hear 75 cases and clear the board before the commencement of the Dussehra holidays. As of the 10th of November, 2024, Justice Chandrachud will no longer serve in this capacity.
Landmark Judgments
Many constitution benches have included DY Chandrachud. The Ayothya property title issue is just one of several important decisions he has authored. He sat on the courts that ruled on the constitutionality of the Aadhaar programme and the Sabarimala temple dispute, as well as those that partly knocked down Section 377 of the IPC on so-called unnatural sex (of carnal contact against the order of nature).
In a recent ruling, he was part of a bench that widened access to abortion for transgender and unmarried women between 20 and 24 weeks of pregnancy under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act.
Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India was argued before a nine-judge constitution bench. He wrote the majority opinion, which affirmed privacy as a fundamental right.
A court headed by Justice Chandrachud issued many directives to help people cope with the pandemic problem. The court led by Justice Chandrachud issued a historic ruling in February 2020 in favour of women officers in the Army receiving permanent commission and command positions. Later, he presided over a bench that cleared the door for women officers to be given a permanent commission in the Indian Navy.
Two justices on the supreme court Collegiuin, including Justice Chandrachud, have voiced their displeasure with the “circulation” approach used to gather opinions on potential Supreme Court nominees.
In addition, Justice Chandrachud participated in a historic ruling by a five-judge constitution panel that upheld the validity of a ‘living will’ for passive euthanasia written by a terminally sick patient.
Construction of two 40-story skyscrapers by real estate giant Supertech in Noida was deemed unlawful by a bench he presided over, and the structures were ordered down.

Integrity is Everything
Advocate AK Tiwari, Matrimonial Lawyer
The legal field is dynamic and ever-shifting. A career in the legal profession is actually intellectually challenging, personally fulfilling and financially rewarding. The legal profession in India is highly regarded and well-compensated, making it one of the most desirable careers. In India, lawyers are held to a higher standard than those in most other professions. Legal professionals are considered as problem-solvers and innovators, who are capable to tackle any sort of new challenges and are always willing to assume new disputes. Lawyers need to interpret a variety of legal documents of different legal systems that have been shaped or taken place over hundreds of years or under different legal and factual circumstances. So lawyers may impact the world by convincing influential people to alter their views, including lawmakers, tycoons, businesses, and leaders. This dynamic legal landscape makes each day unique and fosters an enjoyable, fulfilling work experience. This edition of the Business Touch Magazine brings you the story of Mr AK Tiwari, an expert matrimonial lawyer and introduces you to a lawyer’s life through his perspective.
EDUCATION
AK Tiwari Advocate Matrimonial Lawyer & CounsellorMr Tiwari completed his basic primary schooling from Chandigarh, and then his Matriculation and Intermediate from CBSE Board in Mumbai. Since childhood, he was not an A grader but rather a backbencher who was extraordinarily talented and gifted with analytical skills and excellent communication abilities, which helped in setting up the stage for his career later on. After completing his graduation in Bachelor of Arts from Delhi University and LL.B. from Chaudhary Charan Singh University in Uttar Pradesh, Mr AK Tiwari aimed for LL.M. from Mewar University in Rajasthan. He was one of the fortunate children who received a chance to obtain education from various parts of the country, thanks to the various transfers his father got being a government employee with Ministry of Defence.
PROFESSIONAL LIFE
Starting his career, Mr Tiwari got the chance to travel to various parts of the world, bringing him tremendous exposure and experience of various faculties and cultures. In 2006 Mr Tiwari returned back to his home country India and started working with various corporate giants as an associate. However, he did not limit himself there. Mr Tiwari entered into the core business areas like the Real Estate, Telecom, Media and Pharma industries in the top management role handling the Corporate Affairs of the companies. He even got a chance to work in the Aviation industry for quite some time. Mr Tiwari spent an enormous amount of time interacting with their legal and regulatory bodies while working with these top corporates in the country. Meetings with bureaucrats, politicians, judicial officers and other influential people were his everyday job. He used to lead the decision-making department handling the Legal and Compliance requirements owing to his exceptional analytical and logical capabilities, ensuring smooth business operations without any issues from the government or any regulatory bodies.
Hailing from a family of army men, Mr Tiwari also followed the footsteps of his father and brother, who served in the Indian Air Force and Indian Army respectively. However, due to an unfortunate injury made Mr Tiwari diverted the transverse of his journey from Military to Corporates, handling the legal affairs at present, serving as a full-time Practicing Lawyer.
AN EXPERT MATRIMONIAL LAWYER
Mr AK Tiwari is an Expert Matrimonial Lawyer in Noida and Ghaziabad. He primarily handles cases of Divorce, Domestic Violence, Dowry, Dowry Death, Child Custody, Maintenance, and Judicial Separation. Mr Tiwari explains that the Noida and Ghaziabad region being close to the Delhi NCR region has an enormous amount of matrimonial cases that need to be resolved through Integrity, Honesty and Justice in the mindset.
“The modern lifestyle in the culture especially in the region of Delhi NCR involves both the husband and wife to work and earn, making them independent and self-centric. Even if any small dispute arises between the husband and wife, they take it so personally, demanding the other person to accept the fault and give no thought to compromise. Moreover, most families in the area are nuclear families. The absence of parents or anyone elder in the family to help resolve the matters adds to little disputes being taken to the courtroom,” adds Mr Tiwari.
Mr Tiwari explains that when the patriarchal mindset of people who have moved from nearby villages or towns to the NCR region collides with the modern mindset developed after staying there, issues arise. No party wants to compromise because of a developed higher ego. Mr Tiwari adds, on the other hand, it is not always a minor dispute that adds up being a significant matter in court. Many times women are beaten ruthlessly and treated mercilessly by their husband or in-laws and such women must be protected legally. Similarly, there are various instances where men are accused of false cases under section 498A, 323, 376, 377, 406, 504, 506 of Indian Penal Code and under section 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohobition Act and are forced to face the trial where an innocent has suffered (be it husband or the wife) in a matrimonial case and needs to be given justice because of humanity. To provide justice to the innocent and fight for their rights is why Mr Tiwari should dress up in that black coat and serve justice in white.
LIFE OF A LAWYER IN NOIDA
As per Mr Tiwari, District Court at Gautam Budh Nagar as well as at District Court of Ghaziabad has immense scope for matrimonial lawyers, with cases concentrated on a handful of skilled lawyers. This keeps lawyers like Mr Tiwari following through an extremely hectic and busy schedule. The best part about Mr AK Tiwari is that he does not delay or stretch the ongoing cases just to earn dates fees but is always sincelery trying to finish the case as soon as possible. He has a record-set settlement done within 45 days for a Divorce case, as per the information by him. Having a high case closure rate and the ability to formulate the argument in a precise manner, thus requiring a minimum number of Court dates, sets Mr Tiwari apart from lawyers. His honesty, integrity, boldness and roaring attitude make his client believe he is the best man for the job. Mr AK Tiwari is a trusted name when you are paying a visit to the court for your marital issues. He is also famous among the advocates for refusing a large number of cases on a regular basis, as his integrity and values do not allow him to take up false cases and portray them right just for the money.
MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION: INTEGRITY, HONESTY AND JUSTICE
The judicial system runs on the steam of arguments. It’s fair to assume that every judge and lawyer in the nation spends at least some of their time perfecting the art of the persuasive argument. Advocacy is one of the few fields where you may respond to a superior in the way you just described and yet maintain your job. Lawyers are a unique species in that they thrive on the adrenaline of competing with one other intellectually, whether via a series of fiery fights or a series of subtle jabs. Only those who don the black robe and rigid neck band can appreciate the feeling of authority that comes with it.
“My generation has been captivated by television courtroom dramas, and I for one have always admired the lives of the lawyers who appear on these shows. Everyone with a tongue that could outsharpen a shredder should go to law school,” adds Mr Tiwari.
Even being a Divorce Lawyer, whenever Mr Tiwari gets a chance in a matrimonial case, he tries to settle the matter between both parties to make the marriage work by consulting the partners, which is something odd for his profession. He believes helping people is his higher raim rather than separating them. He also acts as a matrimonial counsellor and tries his best to resolve the dispute if it has arrived from minor issues, which is loss bearing for his professional career. However, Mr Tiwari aims to serve humanity first and his personal interests afterward.
Mr Tiwari gets immense satisfaction when he is able to provide justice to girls who are a victim in a matter. All his full-hearted dedication in going through the cases make him one of the “Top Divorce Lawyers in Noida and Ghaziabad”. Flooded by clients, Mr AK Tiwari dedicates all his time to supporting his clients daily. He is a man of honour who puts his values above everything and fights for his clients till the last moment.
ADVICE FOR YOUNG GENERATION
To anyone starting out their career in Law or maybe any other profession, Mr AK Tiwari emphasizes staying loyal to the workplace, colleagues and the job. Stepping into the client’s shoes and taking every case personally is what has helped Mr Tiwari create a stunning and unbreakable record. Mr Arun Kumar Tiwari adds, “Law is a very tough profession. I sleep about four hours daily, and it is tough to get one hour I spend with my family. New people need to understand that it is essential for a lawyer to stay updated on new judgments. Being a lawyer is not an ordinary job. It is a profession that demands complete dedication and attention.” Moreover, the lawyer, Mr Tiwari, says, “One can only build their reputation if one will be faithful to their profession. Honesty, Humbleness and Love for your Work will build your character that will help you achieve anything and everything you could ever dream of.
“Litigation, contrary to common assumption, may be very lucrative. Lack of understanding, either procedural or substantive, is the only obstacle in court cases. You will be asked questions on topics you have just a passing familiarity with, every day. Is there anything you can do about it? In the past, I would have told you to stay put. Dive right in and get wet to learn how to swim. This might be one of two scenarios. You may either adapt to the currents or perish. The sensation of drowning is not pleasant, of course,” added Mr Tiwari.
High in Demand Business Ideas that Might Assist you in Creating your Business Fortune
Generally, aspiring entrepreneurs have difficulty getting their thoughts down on paper. One really needs a tremendous amount of motivation to become an entrepreneur. One must have a seed of an idea that has the potential to bloom into a full-blown project.
You must consider the new normal if you plan to establish a company in 2022. As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, consumer habits have shifted dramatically. It could have been a smart idea to open up a retail store or restaurant in the past, but you might want to rethink such plans until you see what happens in 2023. Think of enterprises that can help people live their lives more modernly. Some ideas on this list simply need a credit card processing partner to get started, but you will still need to put together a solid business strategy.
CONSIDER STARTING A COMPANY IN ONE OF THESE SECTORS IF YOU ARE READY TO GO ALONE.
1. Digital marketing
With each passing day, the significance of the internet rises, but it also gets more difficult for companies to sell themselves online effectively. Companies of all sizes choose to employ digital marketing services provided by a third party over building an expensive in-house staff. A business opportunity that enables you to work from home might be yours if you have experience in SEO, content marketing, PPC advertising, web development, or social media management.
You will need to keep up with changes in your clients’ marketing strategy if you want to keep up with the times. It is not enough to schedule articles and then walks away from social media management; you must always be on the lookout for comments and communications. For those who appreciate precisely planning and executing marketing strategies, digital marketing may be the ideal career path. An affiliate marketer is another kind of digital marketing that you may want to investigate.
2. Consulting
Consultancy might be a profitable alternative if you are skilled and enthusiastic about a particular subject (such as business, social media, marketing, human resources, leadership, or communication). As your consulting firm grows, you may engage more consultants to help you out.
3.
Businesses have found new opportunities in response to the need for online education. Because this is an internet business, you may teach a course on any topic you are educated about, no matter where you are in the world. Teaching English online to students from other countries is an excellent option if you lack expertise in a particular field.
4.
Many accounting services may now be completed online, much as in schooling. If you are an accountant or bookkeeper who wants to be your own boss, you may now establish an online accounting service with the help of contemporary technology.
5.
Online Reselling
Those who have a love for clothes and sales may want to try beginning an online clothing resale company. If you are willing to put in the time and effort and have an eye for fashion, you may convert your hobby into a full-time career. Start by selling unused clothes on Poshmark or Mercari, then go to your own resale website.
6. App Development
A job in app development may be a good option for those who are tech-savvy. Apps for mobile devices have become more prevalent in the United States due to the widespread use of smartphones. Virtual reality software has been more popular in recent years; thus, there is a growing need for VR app developers.
7. Transcription Service
A transcription business will enable you to work from home and set your own hours if you have a good ear and can type swiftly. Medical transcription services are becoming more critical for healthcare providers who use voice recognition technology to dictate. Transcription tasks may be accepted as few or as many as you wish if you do not want to start all at once or if you have a day job. Consider becoming a certified transcriptionist and specializing in a few areas to enhance your company and justify charging more.
This adds up rapidly for medical transcriptionists, who typically charge between 6 and 14 pennies per line of transcribing. If you accept transcribing employment, it is crucial to remain on top of the deadlines. This implies that you can scale up as soon as you are ready to take more requests. The best part is that there are not any up-front expenses. You will need a computer, software, and a secure messaging provider.
8. Medical Courier Service
A medical courier business might be yours, provided you have a reliable car and the ability to manage your time well. Your driver’s job is to carry medical supplies, including test specimens, prescription medications, and specialized equipment. A courier service may be started on your own, or you can recruit other drivers to help you out.
9. Professional Organizing
Want a business venture that will make you happy? For a career, organizers like Marie Kondo assist others in decluttering and downsizing their homes. Many individuals are yearning to reduce and regain control of their belongings in an era of consumerism. However, many individuals find it challenging to give up items they have had for years because of the trend toward minimalism. Downsizing is part of the job of a professional organizer.
You may be an excellent instructor for others if you are a very organized person who appreciates creating an efficient and comfy location. People are willing to pay for your services to assist them in decluttering and keeping their living environment in order. Before and after images of the places you have arranged in your customers’ houses may be used to market your company by posting them on social media.
A premium service like floor waxing or outdoor power washing might help you stand out from competing cleaning services. There is a good chance that these services will be the determining factor between your new cleaning service and established firms with too many customers to perform that quality of cleaning.
10. Freelance Copywriting or Content Writing
You may work as a freelance copywriter or content writer if you have a knack for language and a working understanding of marketing. Many firms will pay you to create blogs, websites, or press releases. As an SEO expert, you may help customers build a plan based on particular keywords that their target audience uses while searching the internet for products and services. Copywriters often charge $40 to $50 per hour for their services, although those specializing in a particular industry may charge considerably more.
Because you can work from anywhere with an internet connection, freelancing as a copywriter is a convenient side hustle. With this company, you may work from home or even on the road, depending on your preferences. Working full-time as a freelance writer is possible if you build a big enough network and earn recommendations from pleased customers.
11. Cleaning Service
Having a talent for cleaning might be turned into a lucrative company. Cleaning services may be offered to households, apartment complexes, and commercial establishments with only a few employees, an ample supply of cleaning goods, and a vehicle. Cleaning services often charge between $25 and $50 an hour. You just need preparation, effort, and promotion to bring in consumers if you are in the cleaning services industry.
12. Dropshipping
Some firms that sell items do not keep their inventory on-site. Dropshipping is an e-commerce practice in which retailers outsource their order fulfilment to a third party. Perhaps a wholesale retailer or other business that handles warehousing and shipping operations is the third party. Dropshipping is an excellent company concept if you are concerned about overhead expenses and the amount of space you will require.

How Corporate Law Practitioners’ Focus Drives Business Development And Client Service
This is the era of corporates. The corporate or business sector has shown extraordinary growth in the last few decades which has resulted in launching a lot of new career avenues for people, corporate law being one of the most prominent ones.
A corporate lawyer is someone who guides a company to run within the legal jurisdiction either as an inhouse or as a consultant or as an advocate or as a policymaker or as a researcher or as a Judge. Be it an operational decision, a new merger, a case against the company, a business deal, a corporate lawyer is needed to set the parameters right. It is a comparatively new field and hence promises opportunities and growth options.
The future of corporate law firms will be far less comfortable. Successful law firms will require far stronger customer focus, under-promising and over-delivering, exceeding expectations every time. It means deep insight into what it feels like to be a customer, with an intuitive understanding of what matters.
HOW AN INDUSTRY FOCUS DRIVES BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND CLIENT SERVICE?
While industry focus is not a new approach to law firm services organization, there are many corporate law firms that still segment their services by practice areas instead of industries. Creatively re-imagining service delivery by industry sectors opens the door to many benefits for law firms and creates the optimal framework that caters explicitly to meet clients’ industry-specific needs. Of course, when law firms take an industry-focused go-to-market approach, clients undoubtedly benefit from the lawyers’ holistic view of the industry. This method enables teams to identify similar patterns and to anticipate issues likely to arise in the context of the industry.
ADOPTING CLIENT SERVICE AS A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
To deliver best-in-class services to a client, business specialists and administrative professionals can play crucial roles in industry groups and on client teams as subject matter experts, project managers, and effective dot-connectors to marshal resources from around the firm. Incorporating people who are widely known in their respective fields provide unique value and create a more positive perception of the firm as an industry insider and highly efficient enterprise.
The team of experts understand the rapidly changing dynamics of growing businesses and provide expertise to ensure that the ideas and interests of their clients are protected with timely and accurate corporate legal advice. With utmost importance being given to the client’s requirements, they strive to ensure highquality work and provide the best possible solutions to enable business. All corporate law firms tout their legal knowledge, it is table stakes in today’s competitive environment. We believe that it is the industry focus and understanding of the general counsel’s intersectional legal challenges that will be the compelling discriminator.
According to a benchmark study, less than 10% of people who call a law firm get to speak to a solicitor, and 42% of the time, potential clients have to wait for 3 or more days to receive a reply to their voicemail or web form inquiry.
That’s not good at all: in the age of total mobility and instant communication, clients aren’t likely to wait for days to hear back from you, they’d rather turn to another law firm that cares about their time. Creating and fostering excellent relationships is the key to becoming a rainmaker. Providing existing clients with extraordinary service is every corporate lawyer’s ticket for prosperity and growth.
WHAT CONSTITUTES EXCELLENT SERVICE FOR A CORPORATE LAWYER?
Providing excellent service to clients pays off big time. Studies indicate that 80% of new business comes from existing clients in the form of repeat work, new work for other attorneys, and
internal and external referrals for new work. Furthermore, the benefits of retaining existing clients are huge. The profitability of a corporate lawyer’s team that retains 98% of its clients is far greater than one that retains 95% or less of its clients.
1. BE REACHABLE
Lawyers who make themselves available to respond to client emergencies throughout the day, seven days a week, build client trust and loyalty. Attorneys should not offer this kind of accessibility to all clients at all times, but when there are critical periods in preparing and managing client matters, being totally accessible speaks volume. A client who can’t get a lawyer during critical times will find another lawyer.
2. SHOW RESPECT BY INVOLVING THE CLIENT
Asking a client their opinion shows that you are interested in them, and that, they are an important part of finding solutions to problems. Ask them, “What do you think we should do?” and listen to their responses. Keeping the client in the loop is another form of respect. It doesn’t matter if you think an issue is trivial. If the client thinks that an issue is important, it is important, and the attorney needs to keep the client regularly informed as a sign of respect.
3. BUILD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIENTS
Most attorneys are very skilled at logical, analytical thinking required for problem-solving. What many lawyers lack and/or undervalue are relationship skills. Relational skills build strong practices. The ability to anticipate how a client is likely to be affected emotionally by your actions or inaction and the ability to take the client’s perspective work wonders. Interpersonal skills enhance relationships, increase mutual positive regard, and can go a long way in creating a continuous flow of new business.
4. BE PROACTIVE AND GET TO KNOW THE CLIENT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL
You can become friends with your clients or not. It’s a personal choice, but it’s important to develop a personal relationship with clients over and above the legal work. This can be as simple as knowing what sports they like or having a conversation about their child’s science project. Showing concern and, when appropriate, offering advice about their sick parents, career advancement puts a human face on a business relationship. It builds a personal relationship that makes doing business with you over another equally qualified attorney an easy choice.
5. BECOME AN ADVISOR BY BUILDING TRUST
Trust is priceless. Without it, even good legal work is suspected and business development is almost impossible. Trust grows when you competently provide the legal expertise to solve client issues or when you refer the client to another attorney with the skills and experience to better resolve the client’s issues. These acts build trust.
6. NURTURE CLIENTS
Most people thrive when nurtured properly. Nurturing a client properly means anticipating what they need and providing it in a way that is easy for them to receive. Different clients require different kinds of nurturance. Some need a business meeting over lunch, some need to bounce an idea off you during a game of golf or while attending a basketball game, and some need to work with you on a charity event you both endorse. Tailor the nurturance to the specific client and you and the client will enjoy it.
Very few people naturally excel at anything. To excel requires dedication to mastery, training, and a lot of practice. The reward of excellent client service is a steady flow of work and a career in which
you have loyal clients who want what you have to offer even when economic conditions are poor and business activity is slow. When they have legal needs, they turn to you. When their colleagues and friends have legal needs, they send them to you with an unqualified endorsement, and when they need personal attention, they seek you out. If you want to know if learning and practicing client service excellence is worth the investment, ask any achiever like our young corporate lawyer Mira Banga.
Learned Advocate Mira Banga is an alumna of the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru. She has been practicing in the corporate field since 2015. After gaining experience in this field, she started her independent practice under the name of ‘Lawssistance’ and incorporated her own office in 2020. The name of her office itself constitutes her mission of assisting people with her knowledge of corporate law practice in all possible manner.
All members of her team comprise lawyers who are dedicated to the provision of services like drafting and reviewing various investment contracts, commercial contracts, sports, media, and entertainment contracts as well as wills. The team of experts at Lawssistance understands the rapidly changing dynamics of growing businesses and provides expertise to ensure that the ideas and interests of their clients are protected with timely and accurate corporate legal advice. With utmost importance being given to the client’s requirements. They have several services available for their clients like Registration of business, Commercial contracts, Media and entertainment laws, Sports contracts, and Investment and Startup advice.
Mira strongly felt that she is inclined to do what is needed to help people have easy access to required knowledge from experts. She believes in doing things differently because in other law firms or other places, people do not get proper insight, they do not give a holistic view of things. It’s just trust basis that, you’re a big brand. In her opinion, she would explain it to her clients, make it simple for them, go down to their level of understanding. This way, the client feels more confident and satisfied. With this kind of legal assistance, she has a lot of clients who keep coming back and have appreciated the team their approach and the level of their understanding. This rightly serves to adopt client service as a business development strategy that we spoke about above.
THE FUTURE OF CORPORATE LAW
Most staff sat in traditional offices, where they saw clients and worked full time. Virtual law firms are growing very fast in numbers. They may have a very small physical office, with team members working from home or various other locations, maybe part-time. They benefit from the fact that it is unusual these days for people to go and see a lawyer. Those that wish to future-proof their careers will focus on areas that require specialist knowledge, keep ahead in digital innovation and social media, and invest in key relationships with clients.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of leading law firms as it offers multiple benefits to automate work: legal research and due diligence work can be accelerated by confirmation of facts, cross-checking, background verification that in turn promotes faster litigation procedures. Sorting of documents based on keyword search, sifting through years of legal data to predict legal outcomes, case documentation with e-discovery processes can accelerate the corporate law profession.
Technology has removed physical footprints for corporate lawyers too. The traditional model of functioning of the legal community has been dramatically turned with the advent of digital technology— especially in the post-pandemic scenario. On the positive side, this has helped flexibility to work across borders, travel and have their office on wheels, save significant infrastructure and maintenance costs and reduce manpower. However, if the plan includes coworking spaces and collaborative work environments, there could be a possibility of sailing in both physical as well as digital boats.

Supreme Court is the Highest Court in India. It handles all issues and cases on any subject offered before it. Since it is a court with supreme authority in the country, the advocates representing it must be well-versed and knowledgeable with complete understanding. Therefore, the concept of Advocate on Record was announced by the Supreme court with the power given to it under Article 145(1) of the Indian Constitution, which states that the Supreme Court may, from time to time, make rules for regulating the practices and procedures in the court. Advocates-On-Record is regarded as the nerve centre of the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
“Advocate On Record” is a designation given to an advocate who can represent a cause or pleading before the Supreme Court. One needs to fulfil specific terms to become an advocate on record. Order IV, rule 5 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013 lays down the requirements to be fulfilled to become an advocate on record. The exam is conducted by the Supreme Court and is regarded as one of the toughest in Asia, with a pass percentage of around 10 to 12% per year. An advocate is allowed to assist, brief, collect all documents related to the case and help in the drafting. He can also argue and plead an issue with the instructions of an Advocate on Record. Only the filing of a case under his Vakalatnama is restricted.
Section 30 of the Advocates Act, 1961 says that an advocate whose name is in the role of the State Bar Council can practice in any court of law and authority, including the Supreme Court of India. Further, section 52 of this act also mentions that any provisions in the said act shall not affect the power of the Supreme Court to make rules given under Article 145(1). Today we have Business Touch Magazine, an exciting personality Mr Swarnendu Chatterjee, Advocate-on-Record, at the Supreme Court of India.
A SMALL INTRODUCTION ABOUT MR SWARNENDU CHATTERJEE
When Mr Swarnendu Chatterjee was in school, he had yet to have the slightest interest in being a lawyer. However, his father, Mr Arabinda Chatterjee, is a designated Senior Advocate and is regarded as one of the top-most seniors in the High Court at Calcutta. Mr Chatterjee was interested in following his career
in Economics, or, in the alternative, a Chartered Accountant. Once, he was asked by Mr Swarnendu Chatterjee’s father to his office near High Court, as the car was parked there.
When he went there with his father, he saw his dad’s office packed with junior lawyers and clients who were busy discussing their cases. Then it struck Mr Chatterjee that this profession is the one he wants to pursue, as it will allow him to study the social strata more and help people to advance causes in every sense.
At that juncture, Mr Chatterjee decided his change career. Further, as a commerce student, he pursued law with a B.B.A. School of Law, KIIT University, Bhubaneswar was offering the course, and he qualified for the entrance and graduated in 2013.

THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS, ACCORDING TO SWARNENDU, ARE: It is a standard idea and thinking that service matter jurisprudence is accessible. As Mr Chatterjee said, nothing is easy, and it goes similarly for service matters, unlike any other field of law. Service/Job for a human being is correspondingly
precious as his life. Livelihood depends on it. Consequently, it needs proper research, care and caution to present the case precisely and endeavour to get relief as much as possible.
Sometimes, the cases and the pain involved in disputes get onto you. Remember that one has to be opinionated as a lawyer and cannot get into the client’s shoes. It is essential to let the client know the possible outcome (in the fair opinion of the lawyer) of the case, even if it is negative. Some clients may go away, and some may not follow the path. However, your reputation will soar high, and you will be considered honest. Being a lawyer is not only about the money and billing you do, but it is also essential to advise correctly and try to sort out things, if possible, most quickly and effectively.
1. Being patient.
2. Read the facts/papers well, including all documents and facts which could be crucial.
3. Research the precedents based on the factual situation.
4. Lastly, have your basic English and grammar in place.
5. Sacrifice holidays/Sundays in the beginning and work hard and, if possible, for long hours without affecting health.
6. Observe your senior and learn how he approaches the matter and their presentation skills.

Don’t miss these places on your Australia Tour
There are various ways to experience Australia: as a backpacker, staying in the country’s finest hotels, or even moving here permanently.
The method in which Australians approach life is unique. There are various ways to experience the Great Barrier Reef and the water, including skydiving, scuba diving, cruising, and surfing.

During your time in Australia, you may partake in the following recreational pursuits:
1. THE PINK LAKE
The pink lake in Western Australia’s landscape is a surreal sight. It is a must-do if you are ever in Australia to see this. Microbes that thrive on salt blame the lake’s pink colour.
You can do more than merely gazing around here, even if you want to. Horseback riding, cycling, kayaking, and four-wheel-driving are just a few sports that may be enjoyed around Pink Lake in Esperance (Lake Hillier).
The most significant time to visit Lake Hillier is between January and March when the temperature in Esperance is between 20 and 30 degrees.
A direct flight from Perth to Esperance’s airport puts you right in the middle of the action at Lake Hillier. There are connection flights if you are coming from somewhere else. Buses from Perth and other nearby cities are also readily accessible.
The sun’s golden rays enhance the crimson sands of UluruKata Tjuta National Park. Uluru and Kata Tjuta are two of the site’s many famous rock formations. Uluru has a wide variety of flora and animals, including black-footed rock wallabies,
perentie lizards, red kangaroos, and Australian bustards –to name a few – that may be found. Uluru offers a wide range of exciting activities, including camping, BBQ buffet dinners, and hot air balloon rides.
Camping, helicopter flights, learning about indigenous culture, and eating at Uluru’s Sound of Silence are all worthwhile excursions.
The closest airport to Uluru is Ayers Rock Airport in Yulara, which has direct flights from Sydney. Connecting flights are available from a variety of other places as well. The second option is to hire a vehicle, which you can do ahead of time and then drive to Uluru whenever you choose.
Uluru’s ideal months are May to September when the temperature is milder and more conducive to leisurely exploration.
3. TOUR OF THE BAROSSA VALLEY WINE REGION

1860 Wine Country Cottages, A Secret Garden, Almond Tree Cottage, and Angaston Mews Apartment are all highly recommended places to stay.

Watsons Bay, Cockatoo Island, Darling Harbour, and Mosman are some of the other ferries in Australia.
From major cities throughout the globe, you can quickly go to Sydney, which is a popular tourist destination in Australia.

Moviegoers are not the only ones who want to sit back and relax in an air-conditioned cinema. Australia’s openair theatres have elevated the act of viewing a movie to a joyous occasion. Especially for first-timers, it is a lovely experience.
Ben & Jerry’s Openair Cinemas, St George Openair Cinema, and Moonlight Cinema Sydney are the best open-air cinemas in Australia.

You will need an international driver’s licence and other necessary paperwork.
Recommendations include Otway National Park, London Bridge, the Loch Ard Gorge, and the Twelve Apostles.
