Are You Making This Costly Contract Mistake That's KILLING Your Startup?
About this episode
What does it really take to build a legal career today? And how do you transition from a law degree… to freelancing… to starting your own legal consultancy?
In this episode, I sit with Shivani Garg, co-founder of BizInterAgro — a bold young legal entrepreneur who turned setbacks, confusion, and COVID-era uncertainty into clarity and purpose.
We talk about: - Life in a hostel & early discipline - Studying law in Dehradun - How COVID completely disrupted her plans - Freelancing struggles: non-paying clients, unclear communication - Why founders must STOP signing contracts blindly - How AI-generated contracts are hurting businesses - Should young lawyers move abroad? - The real challenges women face in the legal profession - How mentoring law graduates changed her - Why direction matters more than skills - What business freedom means to her
This is a raw, honest conversation about career clarity, identity, and finding your path at your own pace.
