Tackling & Overcoming Challenges
Starting a venture is always a daunting task. It was not exceptional for Rajeshwari as the number of women layers or firms run by women is only a few. The fact did not deter her and with an enormous amount of conviction that she was doing the right thing and the zeal to feel an incredible freedom and opportunity coming with being an independent lawyer enticed her. The foundation held strong and she founded her firm.
“We have faced challenges galore – but have kept going. We have had some very challenging assignments – such as the first compulsory license in India. We strategized it right from the beginning till the end and argued the matter in-house to win at all for a right from the Patent office to Supreme Court. The verdict is not only just the first-ever compulsory license but the first ever that was adjudicated by a court of law. It is the first granted in India and is the first of its kind for liver cancer. The grant of compulsory license has been historic as it has helped to save the lives of millions of people affected by liver and kidney cancer. There have been many other achievements in this line and these are the ones that keep us going,” asserts Rajeshwari.
Rajeshwari retains a vast and rich experience in carrying out due diligence and handling of patent oppositions, revocations, and appeals before the Patent Office and other higher authorities. She currently handles patent and other litigations at the Supreme Court of India and various High Courts across India.
Bringing a Change with Leadership
“We can flourish only when our talent will grow. So, we will be focusing on nurturing and growing talent within the firm. Because we plan to expand to new practice areas and integrate new talent, we believe the firm will achieve new heights; as we grow from strength to strength, our clients would also be benefitted as they would have all advice at one place instead of having to go from pillar to post,” states Rajeshwari.
Rajeshwari puts her budding talent first along with clients. This creates a sense of cool and yet intense culture that sets the firm apart from others.
