Hello Mayank.
I came across your article on Rediff.com. Impressed, am trying to reach you out for some guidance.
I am a lawyer from India, still enrolled at the bar. However, I moved to Australia in 2007 and now an Australian citizen working with a law firm since past seven years.
Now wish to return home (India) where I do not have any contacts. Hyderabad is where my parents are so considering this place. However, not ruling out other places.
What in your opinion should be my plan of action? Am 49.
I am unsure if you provide career advice/charge professional fees. If you do not, then a suitable reference will be appreciated.
I wish to stay anonymous until I succeed in what I intend doing. 
Thank you kindly.

Ans: Hi,
I am not aware of the field of business you are into. To pursue Law at this stage of your life needs an insight into how much of time you can manage to study this. You can definitely study Law. As far as my suggestion goes, I would recommend you to devote the time into your business to make it bigger instead of studying law which you are not going to practice.
You can also devote the extra time in pursuing some hobby which will give you happiness.

Ans: I understand your concerns about your son's career prospects in international law. It's natural for parents to worry about their child's future, especially when it comes to career choices. International law is a highly specialized field that can offer rewarding opportunities, but like any profession, success can depend on various factors.

Here are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Specialization and Niche Expertise: International law is a complex and competitive field. Having a specialized skill set or focusing on a niche area within international law can make your son stand out. Whether it's human rights, trade law, environmental law, or something else, finding a unique area of expertise can improve his prospects.

Networking and Internships: Connections within the legal community are invaluable. Encourage your son to attend conferences, workshops, and seminars related to international law. Internships, whether paid or unpaid, can also provide him with practical experience and valuable contacts.

Location Flexibility: International law often involves working with governments, NGOs, multinational corporations, and international organizations. Being open to working in different geographical locations can increase his chances of finding suitable opportunities.

Further Education: Depending on his specific interests, pursuing further education such as a Ph.D. or specialized postgraduate courses might enhance his qualifications and marketability.

Adaptability and Multilingualism: International law often requires working with diverse cultures and languages. Proficiency in multiple languages and an ability to adapt to different legal systems can be advantageous.

Consult Career Advisors: Many universities and professional organizations offer career counseling services. Encourage your son to utilize these resources to explore different avenues and receive guidance on how to navigate the job market effectively.

Online Presence: Maintaining a professional online presence, such as a LinkedIn profile, can help showcase his skills and accomplishments to potential employers.

Persistence and Patience: The job search process can be challenging, especially in specialized fields. Encourage your son to remain persistent, patient, and open to different opportunities that might arise.

Remember that success in any career is a combination of individual effort, timing, and external factors. While the journey might be challenging, a career in international law can indeed be fulfilling and impactful. It's essential to support your son's aspirations while providing guidance and realistic expectations.

Regards,
Abhishek Shah
