As an “Entrepreneurial Lawyer”, Mr Rajan Chettiar truly highlights the many hats that a lawyer can wear besides lawyering. Moreover, against the backdrop of our Common Law system which is often regarded as an Adversarial one, he aptly reminds us that beyond the realms of Family Law, the notion of collaborative legal practice and using the law not as an end itself but a mean to help others and resolve their issues can shape our legal system for the better.
