Chandan Kumar Mohanty completed the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws in January 2015. He is a corporate lawyer practicing in Orissa High Court and owns a law firm by the name of Lexican India which deals in Corporate Law, environmental Law, Mining and Maritime Law. He has been a guest speaker at many prestigious events and is invited to prestigious organisations like Federation of Indian Export Organisation (FIEO), International Committee of the Red Cross, etc. to deliver lectures. He is associated with several trade unions and social organizations like St John’s Ambulance, Red Cross etc.
He is also involved in several social activities. He provides free guidance and mentoring to law students from economically weak sections of the society. He is invited as a guest lecturer at various law schools of the country, but he prefers to deliver guest lectures mainly at non-NLU law colleges in Odisha and West Bengal as he feels that these students are cut off from the mainstream and they should get an opportunity for quality education.
He has done his LLB from MS Law College, Cuttack and LLM from University Law College, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Maritime Law from Utkal University. Over here he talks about why he chose to do a diploma course after his LLM and a flourishing corporate law practice, his experience with the NUJS diploma course and how it helped his career. Over to Chandan:
I joined the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws in 2014, at that time I had already completed my LLB and LLM, was running my own Law Firm and was simultaneously pursuing my Ph.D. in Maritime law.
I discovered the course over the internet. I was searching for some law-related material and I saw an advertisement of the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws. I saw the syllabus and structure of the course and liked it. I felt that the areas covered in the course were missing in my profile and I felt the need to fill that gap.
I contacted the iPleaders team to understand more about the course and was fully satisfied with the way the benefits were explained to me. So I decided to enroll for this diploma course.
I found the course to be exceptional. This course helped me update my knowledge and exceeded the expectations I had from it. Entrepreneurship, startups, etc. were not my forte and this course helped me strengthen my hold on these laws as well as to update my knowledge about the latest developments in law.
I found the webinars to be very informative and helpful; it gives you an opportunity to directly interact with experts in different fields of law. The module on Intellectual Property helped me a lot in working with my clients. The module on contract helped me in a case; the examples given in the Master Level Service Agreement came very handy when I had to suggest my client about a similar situation.
I give guest lectures as a hobby, I love interacting with students and sharing my knowledge with them. This course is helping me in that also. I have grasped various techniques of teaching and explaining different topics.
I have already recommended this course to many people. I would recommend it to people from all walks of life who want to have some basic knowledge about latest law and especially to young practitioners, law students and legal executives.
