In this episode, Michael sits down with Deepak Ohri, Partner at Merali Beedle, to explore why lawyers need real-world business experience to truly understand risk. Moving beyond tick-box thinking, Deepak shares insights from over thirteen years in property law, explaining why theoretical interpretations can cost clients dearly and how commercial awareness separates great lawyers from good ones.

From service charge disputes to development lending, they discuss the practical application of law in property transactions, the subjective nature of valuations, and why bridging versus development financing isn't as clear-cut as many think. Deepak also shares his advice for young lawyers: get curious, meet different people, and learn to think beyond the textbooks to become a better lawyer and person overall.
