GENNEXT 2021 - BUSINESS & LAW CONGRESS - Keynote Address by Dr Lalit Bhasin

The Congress began with an invigorating welcome address by Dr. Lalit Bhasin, President of the Society of Indian Law Firms. He made a pertinent plea that the deployment of technology and innovation must not be confined to just the Supreme Court or the High Courts. The government, the judiciary, and the legal profession had to step in. Dr. Bhasin also requested lawyers with expertise in the tech practice area to focus on how we could reduce the malaise of large delays. "Whatever innovations are made, and whatever tech improvements are desired, we must focus on finding solutions to deal with the fundamental issue of large delays in justice delivery. Such large delays are even affecting the country's reputation that has been a believer in the rule of law."

Dr. Bhasin concluded his welcome address by paying a rich tribute to Aakriti Raizada, Founder and Managing Editor of the Legal Era - Legal Media Group and the Legal Era team for organizing an event that ran for 4 weeks, 2 days each week, stirring discussions on brilliant new age topics being led by excellent moderators and panelists. Dr. Lalit Bhasin particularly noted that the subjects chosen will have a far-reaching impact on business and law. The event was sure to be a great success.
