In this episode of the Bombay Bar Association podcast, our current president Nitin Thakker sits down with two former presidents of the association, Mr. Rafique Dada and Mr. Rohit Kapadia. The discussion covers their childhoods growing up around the legal profession, their initial entries into practice, and fond memories of working alongside notable seniors and judges. They also recount the Bombay Bar Association's international delegations to the UK and California, which helped pave the way for early mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) initiatives in India. Concluding with valuable insights on the importance of hard work, intellect, and integrity, the guests share an inspiring message for the younger generation of lawyers and future leadership to uphold the independent legacy of the bar.
