Lawyer to Entrepreneur I Remote Lawyer | Soumya Shekhar | Podcast ~ Ep. 20
“When I decided to take a plunge, my family was hesitant I come from a salaried class family, where no one in the family had ever taken such a step before. It was a little scary, but this is what I really wanted to do. I am passionate about doing diverse kinds of work and was determined to give it a shot,” shared Ms. Soumya Shekhar on our podcast.
Recently, we conducted a podcast with corporate lawyer-turned-entrepreneur Ms. Soumya Shekar, founder of Remote Lawyer, to share her experiences and inspiring journey of transitioning from working at a top tier law firm to starting her own venture.
Soumyas has a decade of legal experience and is an expert in corporate and commercial laws, fintech-related laws, contract drafting, and legal content creation. She also holds a master's degree in corporate and financial services law from the National University of Singapore. Soumya's vision is to offer innovative and diverse legal solutions that are accessible, affordable, and efficient.
Before starting her firm, she worked with top-tier law firms such as Luthra and Luthra, Trilegal and Indus Law as well as Companies like Wipro.
This episode will help you understand the journey of starting a business and guide you in navigating the right steps for yourself.
Here are my top 5 takeaways:
1. Legal solutions can be delivered in a simple and convenient manner, and there are no geographical boundaries to providing them.
2. Social media can be a game changer for your business—network as much as you can.
3. Building trust is crucial, whether for clients or employees. Getting the right fit for the organization is vital for growth.
4. When you start something new, the feelings of giving up and getting scared are normal, but internal motivation will keep you going.
5. Building a personal brand and honing your skills are important if you want to build something of your own.
