From Emergency to Eminence: Rajiv Nayar on 46 Years in Indian Law | The Legacy Series
What happens when a journalist’s son, deeply affected by censorship during the Emergency, stumbles into law - only to become one of the country’s most respected legal voices?
In this unforgettable episode of The Daily Lawyer Legacy Series, Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar of the Delhi High Court reflects on:
His accidental entry into the legal profession after the Emergency
Representing marquee clients in landmark cases and navigating 100+ cross-jurisdictional corporate disputes
Observing the evolution of India’s legal system post-liberalisation
The art of reading a judge and mastering courtroom advocacy
His strong opposition to tribunalization and the transfer of judges
And why honesty, not hustle, is the real key to longevity in law
He also shares his early struggles from working out of a 10x10 office in Connaught Place to building a 46-year career arguing before India’s top benches and the personal philosophies that carried him through.
This episode is a masterclass in restraint, rigour, and the quiet power of building a legal career on integrity and insight - not just ambition.
