I'm Khurram Naik, I'm an IP lawyer. I'm looking to connect with new parents or anyone who is about to have a baby (mine's is due Feb 13) to trade tips. If you've used litigation funding, I'd like to hear about your experience.
Hi all - I'm Surya Korrapati (he/him) and I am a JD/LLM-LE student at Duke University School of Law.
I am interested in pursuing a career in M&A, IP, Startups or Sports & Entertainment in the Southeast. I am looking to meet mentors and attorneys in those fields that would be willing to connect and share any career advice you might have! I am really happy to see this community of South Asian attorneys - it can be discouraging to look at firms' pages and not see someone that looks like you.
Hi all - I'm Akriti Bhargava (she/her), and I'm a Legal Fellow at Harvard Law School's Environmental & Energy Law Program. I am interested in climate change law and policy, with a focus on clean energy systems and energy justice, sustainable economies, and just transitions. I'm looking to meet mentors and peers in policy and government law jobs, since I'd like to eventually work in climate policy and negotiations for the government.
Akriti, why don’t we talk and you can use my network. Or maybe I can convince you that you can have a pretty awesome career doing energy policy work in private practice.

Hi Vid - great to connect with you here too, I think we've crossed paths on LinkedIn! I'll email you - would love to grab a time on your calendar to talk about the energy policy work happening at DWT. Thanks for leaving a comment!

Hi, I am Ricky DeMello. I am a patent attorney who stepped away for a couple of years to get a M.S. in Electrical Engineering, and just graduated this September. I am in licensed in Minnesota (and with the USPTO) but have moved to, want to stay in, and will be able to waive into the Bar of NY starting October, 2023. I would greatly enjoy any positions in NYC or remote related to filing applications or transactions related to patents and/or trademarks, as well as mergers and acquisitions (something I want to learn very much about!). Great community formation, Khurram!
First of all, thank you for this platform, Khurram!
I’m a NY-based attorney, previously focused on energy and currently working in M&A tax primarily for financial services.

Great to hear - I loved the 12 years I spent in Chicago. There are great eats on Devon. A few sort-of hidden gems: Sun Wah, Cho Sun Ok, Lula Cafe.
Yes, I love Devon! I lived in chicago for 3 years post undergrad, so I’m happy to be going back. Thanks for these recommendations!
