Portrait featuring Nikhil Boolell, Barrister at law and Partner, Temple Law

Carrying the legacy of a name is often seen as a privilege, but it is in fact, more often than not, a heavy responsibility. It is no small feat to carry that burden with grace, without false humility and no sense of entitlement. This is one of the many reasons why I enjoyed my refreshing – and at times, very philosophical - conversation with this week’s guest. As Nikhil Boolell so eloquently puts it, “I consider myself as dust. I’m nothing, I come from nothing, I will lead my life in the nothingness of the values I hold and I will leave my life as such”. That said, he is conscious of the valuable role he can play in his life: as a younger member of the Bar, as a caring member of his neighbourhood and as a husband and father. Join us for this week’s episode as we talk about Nikhil’s childhood influences, why he chose the profession, his thoughts of AI and the law, why he enjoys litigation and more. 00:00 - Intro 01:35 - If Nikhil hadn’t been a lawyer… 02:44 - Was law a choice? 06:32 - The nobility of the Bar 07:51 - The values that drive Nikhil 11:59 - Parental influence 13:30 - Being in a law firm 15:22 - The challenges of AI for the legal profession 23:57 - How AI can be used as a tool to improve the practice of law 25:55 - The joys of litigation 31:48 - Being married to a lawyer 33:30 - Nikhil’s favourite legal book 35:21 - Benefits of doing a Masters 42:33 - Boarding school 48:07 - The community of the Bar
