Winners of the inaugural edition of BW Legal World’s—Top 30 Under 30 Lawyers and Legal Influencers have been announced. The virtual event was hosted on Saturday, January 29, 2022. BW Legal World 30 Under 30 Conclave & Awards, as the name suggests, among other things is a initiative of BW Legal World to celebrate a culture of fostering leadership and future growth. Very aptly, the theme of the conclave this year was Laws and Trends to Watch Out For in 2022.
The itinerary of the day included power packed panel discussions and keynote sessions from top lawyers on contemporary themes. As many as 50 dynamic lawyers joined us for an eventful day in a bid to unravel what lies ahead for the business and legal sectors in 2022.
Whittling down the number of entries to 30 winners was a mammoth task. But the stellar jury made it possible. During the interviews, the jury came across some of the brightest young legal minds in the profession. Every potential winner demonstrated a zeal to excel along with a strong work ethic. The panel volleyed some interesting questions at the candidates. While some candidates came up with confident and measured responses, some were caught a little off guard.
At the end, the difference between those who made it to the list and those who could not, was a thin margin.
Coming to the power list, it comprises of litigators, corporate lawyers, in-house Counsel and legal influencers. And it is heartening to see that 12 power women have made the cut in the first edition of BW Legal World’s 30u30 awards. We are sure the number is only going to increase in the coming years.
