Kokila Alagh , Founder , KARM Legal Consultants

My most memorable movement was the launch of KARM Legal Consultants to a global audience at the International Court of Justice , Hague at a Global Legal Tech event – so the benchmark for KARM has been set high and above a regular law firm . Since then , KARM has had countless accolades despite being a young law-firm . I have always believed the key to success for a lawyer is a curious mind – a mind that explores and absorbs the unthinkable or the out of box solutions . At KARM we are lucky to be working with clients in the innovative technology space , offering solutions to the real-world problems – for which most of our clients have appreciated and stood by our innovative solutions .

What first made you think of a career in technology ?

Bridging the gap between law and technology . Most of the lawyers are averse to experimenting with the newer horizons the technology can take us to . I have always been very curious to work out new solutions , working along my cause and effect reasoning which enhances my analytical ability . In a nutshell a good blend of both innovative legal approach and sustainable growth , made me believe that this might be just the aspect that ’ s currently sparse in the technology world .

What style of management philosophy do you employ with your current position ?

At KARM , I have always believed in promoting an independent thought process for all

of KARM ’ s lawyers . I believe in individual strengths and at KARM we have been able to achieve just that ! The legal profession is marred with a factory-made solution approach , which in turn also makes the lawyers document churning machines . We have made significant effort in not having a similar culture at the firm and our internal www . intelligentcio . com INTELLIGENTCIO
