About Legal Career Mentorship
Why I Mentor
Law isn't just my career - it’s my father’s dream I’m living every day. As a first-generation lawyer, everything I do is about honoring that. I know firsthand how tough it is to start out when you don’t have a legal background or family connections. That’s why I’m here, to help others like me find their feet in the legal world.
My Approach
I don’t believe in solo journeys. “Hum sab ek parivaar hain” (We’re all one family). When we support each other, everyone grows. My mentorship is about sharing, not just teaching. I’ll guide you through the parts of a legal career that books never cover - real-life ethical dilemmas, building trust, and learning how to stand tall when things get tough.
What You’ll Get
- Tips for law students looking for real-world direction - how I built my practice from zero, step by step
- Honest talk about mistakes and wins, so you skip some of the hard lessons
- For interns and juniors, hands-on exposure in court, including Supreme Court hearings, and the chance to work on pro bono matters
- My own experiences as a first-generation lawyer, so you know you’re not alone
Extra Help
I’ve set up a free app, Lawyers4Lawyers, to make daily life in law a bit easier. There’s also a library at Rohini Court - quiet, comfy, and open to all young lawyers and students.
Main hamesha saath hoon. (I’m always with you.) My promise: you’ll never have to face the legal world alone.

My Story
I’m Pardeep Khatri. Law wasn’t my choice, it was my father’s dream for me. Every day, that dream pushes me - I promised him I’ll make him proud. My family’s everything, from birthday puja at Salasar Balaji to silly moments with my son Avyaan. Being a dad is wild, sometimes I’m strict, sometimes just a buddy. Honestly, I get scared, wonder if I deserve the trust folks give me. But my family and community keep me going.
My Work
Criminal Legal Services in Delhi - I handle criminal defense cases in Delhi, fighting for justice and fairness for my clients.
Mentoring Young Lawyers - I guide my young associates, teaching teamwork and real legal skills. Growth is about 'we', not 'I'.
Bar Association Welfare - As RCBA Secretary, I push for better welfare, like crèche renovation and making sure funds help lawyers.
Lawyers 4 Lawyers Trust - We started a library for lawyers to study and grow, all in memory of my father and for our legal community.
