Carrying the legacy of a name is often seen as a privilege, but it is in fact, more often than not, a heavy responsibility. It is no small feat to carry that burden with grace, without false humility and no sense of entitlement.This is one of the many reasons why I enjoyed my refreshing – and at times, very philosophical - conversation with this week’s guest. As Nikhil Boolell so eloquently puts it, “I consider myself as dust. I’m nothing, I come from nothing, I will lead my life in the nothingness of the values I hold and I will leave my life as such”. That said, he is conscious of the valuable role he can play in his life: as a younger member of the Bar, as a caring member of his neighbourhood and as a husband and father. Join us for this week’s episode as we talk about Nikhil’s childhood influences, why he chose the profession, his thoughts of AI and the law, why he enjoys litigation and more.00:00 - Intro01:35 - If Nikhil hadn’t been a lawyer…02:44 - Was law a choice?06:32 - The nobility of the Bar07:51 - The values that drive Nikhil11:59 - Parental influence13:30 - Being in a law firm15:22 - The challenges of AI for the legal profession23:57 - How AI can be used as a tool to improve the practice of law25:55 - The joys of litigation31:48 - Being married to a lawyer33:30 - Nikhil’s favourite legal book35:21 - Benefits of doing a Masters42:33 - Boarding school48:07 - The community of the Bar
