Purpose of the Program

This is not just another legal discussion group—it’s about personalized one-on-one mentorship through WhatsApp chats and select Zoom discussions where I aim to:

1. Understand your challenges
2. Answer your career-related questions
3. Provide some clarity on navigating the legal profession

There’s still a long way to go, and I know I can’t solve everything—but I’m conscious of the limitations of this format and still trying my best to be available on crucial issues that matter to you.

How to join: Please connect with on LinkedIn – all that you need to do is introduce yourself and share two pressing questions that you are facing on my LinkedIn Messaging and my team would revert.

The Journey Continues

I believe that guidance at the right time can change lives. If you are a law student or a young lawyer trying to find direction, know that you are not alone. Keep learning, keep asking questions, and most importantly, keep moving forward!
Let’s build a strong, supportive, and thriving legal community together!

5 Simple Rules for Mentoring via WhatsApp Blogging

Dear Law Students,
To ensure this mentorship initiative via WhatsApp blogging is productive and meaningful, here are a few simple guidelines:

1. Read & Reflect – I will be posting short blogs, insights, and guidance notes that offer clarity on career decisions, legal practice, and professional growth. Read them carefully, think them through, and apply them where relevant.
2. Keep It Simple & Actionable – My goal is to keep my advice concise, practical, and easy to implement. The best way to benefit from these posts is to take action rather than just read passively.
3. Engage on LinkedIn for Broader Discussions – These insights will also be posted on LinkedIn. If you have questions or thoughts that may help others, please post them there rather than in private messages. This way, more students can learn from the discussion. However, if your question is very personal or specific, feel free to message me directly.
4. No Spam, Only Learning – This platform is for focused mentorship. Please avoid unnecessary forwards or unrelated discussions to keep the space meaningful for everyone.
5. Be Patient & Stay Committed – Mentorship is a two-way process. I will do my best to respond and guide you, but also appreciate your patience. This is about long-term growth, not quick fixes.
