Happy Mind Happy Lawyer has been founded by Kanika Kadam. She is an organisational psychologist and a work coach and an ex-banking and finance lawyer. She has a masters in applied psychology (organisational behaviour specialisation) and has completed her dissertation on ‘Burnout among lawyers in India’. Her passion for improving work lives of people, especially lawyers, led her on the path to build Happy Mind Happy Lawyer aka HMHL. Owing to her dual qualifications in law and psychology and her vast work experience in law firms, she is able to better understand the challenges faced by lawyers and provides effective ways to address work problems. Prior to this, she completed her B.A. LLB (Hons.) from one of the top law colleges in India and has worked as a banking and finance lawyer in some of the top law firms in India for around nine years.

“I wanted to create a platform where lawyers can find the necessary resources for their well being and to build happier work lives, without having to worry about being judged. Lawyers are usually reluctant to ask for help especially about work problems. They are somehow expected to know all the answers. HMHL is a trusted source where I help them understand their problems, find solutions, discover their career identity and focus on their professional development.”

“In today’s VUCA environment, it is essential for organisations to direct their efforts towards improving work lives of their people. A happier workforce builds a happier and effective organisation. HMHL can help identify problem areas that are specific to your organisation and work with you to develop focused interventions that are suited to your organisation’s needs and goals.”
