Are you a lawyer looking for topics in being transparent and present? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews attorney Ruma Mazumdar, who transitioned from commercial litigation to founding a remote law firm during the pandemic. They discuss the motivations behind this career shift, the challenges and benefits of remote work, and strategies for maintaining transparency and a positive team culture.
Ruma shares how her litigation experience helps her in real estate law, especially when going through the dispute process. The transition into real estate was smoother for Ruma due to her litigation background, which helps her resolve disputes very early one before they get heated. For those who are hoping to transition into an area of law that is not heavy in court battles, experience in litigation can help with getting deals or cases settled quicker and can help in attracting clients.
Ruma speaks to the importance of being present with clients, especially working in a post-COVID environment where many offices are fully remote. When working with clients, giving them your full attention helps with gaining their trust. A client is looking to you to help them resolve their issues and if you are not present, it can cause clients to feel like you don't care about their case or you don't know how to manage your time and responsibilities. Ensure to always remain present with each client so you can be the best lawyer possible!
