From Law School to Privacy & AI Law | How Saswati Built a Global, Future-Ready Legal Career

What does it take to build a future-ready legal career in a world shaped by technology, data, and AI?

Meet Saswati Soumya Sahu, a law graduate from Symbiosis Law School, Pune, with over 10 years of experience across law firms, litigation, startups, and independent consulting — who consciously chose depth, structure, and specialisation over shortcuts.

Saswati’s journey wasn’t linear.

She worked in traditional law firm roles, explored independent consulting, navigated the uncertainty of client acquisition, and experienced the pressure of building credibility in a rapidly changing legal landscape.

The turning point came when she decided to upskill strategically.

Through LawSikho, Saswati:

Specialised in Data Privacy, AI, and Technology Law

Gained confidence through practical, time-bound assignments

Learned how to handle real, unfamiliar client documents with clarity

Built the mindset needed to work as an in-house legal professional

Transitioned into a structured role where law, business, and technology intersect

Today, Saswati works closely with leadership teams, understands business pain points, communicates complex legal issues in simple language, and handles privacy and compliance matters with confidence — all while working remotely with flexibility and discipline.

Her story is not about overnight success.

It’s about clarity, consistency, and choosing the right skills at the right time.
