Gopal Subramanium has practised law for more than 30 years and acted as lead council in several path-breaking matters.
In this video, Subramanium discusses how opportunities in the modern-day legal field have changed greatly from how they presented themselves when he was starting out.
Some correlation exists between effort, preparation, and the acknowledgement of work well done that enables the individual to continue to progress within the field. However, Subramanium has noticed this is not the case across all jurisdictions.
In areas of the world where this correlation does not exist, Subramanium has observed that individuals tend to opt out of the profession, raising questions about the issues of mentorship, continual education, and career progression in the field of law.
