What motivated you to choose law as a career? Please tell us about your experience in law school?

I started my career as a Chartered Accountant but after some time I realized that Chartered Accountants are generally in the field of Direct Taxes and Audits etc.

I was from the very beginning practicing in Advising the Foreign companies to set up their business operations in India and Indians planning to set up business abroad or set up of EOUs, SEZs, etc.

I realized my limitations being CA as not being able to take up advisory and litigation aspects. I thought it was better that I should move on and switched from CA to Law practice in 2004. Since then, I am practicing as a Lawyer and running these Law Firms.

You’re the Managing Partner of LEGALLANDS LLP and VAIDAT Legale Services. Before this, you’ve been the Managing Partner of MARS & Partners too. What motivated you to begin your work in LEGALLANDS LLP?

Initially, I started with a small law firm, I realized that being a lawyer, we need to have better strength in different fields of law such as litigation, Corporate, etc.

Later in 2008, as a Partner with my Colleague, we were running a mid-sized law firm with the name of MARS & Partners in Defence Colony, New Delhi.

In 2012, I incorporated a Sole proprietor Firm with the name Vaidat Legale Services, with my best team of Professionals. Times move and we expanded with a much broader perspective with a focus on better services and a motive to serve International Clients in India LEGALLANDS LLP was formed and is well recognized as a Corporate Law Firm.

Currently, I am Managing an excellent team of professionals who aims to provide the best service and practical solutions to Clients based in India & Abroad.

What’s your take on the role of the Lawyer-Statesman in the contemporary legal landscape?

The law does not exist in a silo. Our world is increasingly complex and interdependent: we have to battle fake news, grapple with the growing influence of intelligent technology and social media, and navigate a legal landscape that is moving from domestic to global. Lawyers have been given the privilege of understanding, interpreting, and advancing laws. We have a responsibility to build a legal framework that fosters innovation and rewards success, but also leaves no one behind.

You’ve done practices in various areas in the law field, which area intrigues you the most and why?

Law itself is a vast and wide field. My main area of practice is always been “Corporate Advisory and Corporate & Commercial Litigation etc.” These are Indirect Taxes including Customs Law, Excise & Service Tax and GST, FEMA, Foreign Trade Policy, SEZ, and Business Setup and Advisories, and specialize in education, healthcare, road transport, infrastructure projects, etc. It is always a challenge to deal with revenue and financial planning and various business models and cases where direct money is involved or cases wherein there’s an invasion of duties or tax evasion or transfer pricing is involved attracts me the most.
