Discounts for lawyers

Quite a few retailers realize that lawyers are great customers – affluent and often unhappy people who turn to materialism with a vengeance. Offering a discount on law day is a smart way to capture their attention. So it’s going to happen this year more than ever as there are more services providers as well as exclusive online stores for lawyers. I am definitely going to check out http://lawsuitsandmore.com/. For litigators, I would strongly recommend getting a set of stylish collars. The judge is definitely going to look at you and wonder what is up your collar while you persuasively present your arguments and floor everyone in the courtroom! Also, demand discounts on law say to people who sell data room services and billing software, database and research services etc to lawyers. Book publishers are likely to offer deals as well.

SuperLawyer is supporting a Law Day delegation to Canada

SuperLawyer.in, a sister website to this blog, is supporting an initiative by a company called E4 to bring the legal industries of India and the wonderful country Canada a little closer on the Canadian Law Day. This tour coincides with the Canada Law Day on April 17 with a weeklong celebration all across Canada.

The delegation is being organized with support from the Canadian Ambassador to India, Ontario Bar Association, Canadian Law Society, Schulick Business School, Queen University, York University, University of Toronto  and Indo Canada Chamber of Commerce and it is to be consisted of only successful lawyers and selected law students. While selection is a bit exclusive, I would suggest that you must give it a shot if you can make 14 days of time in the month of April. Just send your request and updated profile to  [email protected].

Note that bilateral trade between Canada and India is about to touch 15 billion USD and there is a new momentum in cross border investments as well as trade. Also, Canada has a huge NRI population that repatriate money to India, buy property, set up charities and generally like to be involved in growth of the country of origin. Naturally, demand for lawyers with Indian expertise is increasing and it is a great idea to create relationship with Canadian legal fraternity as well as businessmen for Indian lawyers.

Apart from the hectic networking, the organizers have arranged for great deals and travel opportunities as well and I am tempted myself to make a visit to that part of the world. While the delegates need to cover their own costs, opportunities like visiting the Canadian Parliament, attending live courtroom sessions and attending a grand Law Day conference seems to be priceless opportunities.

Beware, you may be forced to give an interview to SuperLawyer if you join the delegation.

Fun events I am looking forward to

Over time, the idea of celebrating law day is seriously catching up. I know quite a few schools are inviting lawyers to visit classrooms and interact with students so that they are better aware of opportunities in legal industry. I am quite sure that there would be a few cricket and football matches organized by a few bar associations around the country. I am however looking forward to some good skill development workshops for lawyers we might organize. How would you like that?
