Entrepreneurial opportunity in legal education

Guest 20 Jan 2010, 01:03

We are developing a simulation-based training program in transactional lawyering for law students and fresh professionals in law firms in India. Our aim is to help bridge the gap between the academic training offered in law schools and real-world transactional skills required by lawyers.

We will develop similar programs for students of business management. These programs will offer training in modeling and transactional work in investment banking and on financial products, participants and markets. Such programs will also add value to our programs on law.

We wish to have on board partners with 3 – 6 years of experience in corporate law in top lawfirms, an entrepreneurial streak and a passion for education, to help design our programs on law and teach.

Building on this, we will gradually expand to other areas of legal and financial education.

We are a team of IIM/Harvard alums with experience in the legal and banking industry. Ideas and potential partners are welcome.

Sounds interesting!

We’re in a similar space (www.rainmaker.co.in) : do write to me at (bhavin[at-the-rate-of]rainmaker[dot]co.in) if you would like to discuss this further.

Couple of things:

1) Dear MCA with 5-years experience: the one day, hopefully, comes soon!

2) Competition is good. Period.Tramping over competition incentively by an offer to ‘join hands’ with existing competition is not a trait which any new entrepreneur should follow. The proposer of this blog may note. So Rainmaker’s offer should, ideally, wait for a rain check!

3) The legal industry, and its various allied training and education needs are so vast that there is wide opportunity.

This view is personal - as an industry professional frustrated with the lack of quality in the industry.
