About Aishwarya Shende
After completing B.com, L.L.B & L.L.M. from Pune, Maharashtra, I interned with renowned practicing advocates & law firms in Civil laws. Thereafter, I worked with MNCs mainly handling corporate laws & consumer protection laws. After gaining work experience with practicing Advocates, law firms and MNCs, I, being inclined towards practicing in the field of law, decided to join Law practice of my family as a 3rd generation Advocate. Thought of working as an independent Law practitioner strengthened as I was brought up in a family having generations of Practising Advocates, holding extensive experience since past 65 years in Taxation laws and other Civil Laws, famously known as ‘S. A. Birajdar and P. S. Birajdar offices’ situated at Pune, Maharashtra. I’m presently working in the fields of corporate laws, consumer protection laws, taxation laws, and sexual harassment of women at workplaces related cases. The clientele consists of multinational and Indian companies representing a broad spectrum of industries, including healthcare, electronics, consumer goods, industrial goods, automobiles, packaging, wind energy, technology, hospitality and entertainment, financial institutions. Eventually, the thought of propagating legal education arose and hence I took up PhD simultaneously with practice. I am registered with ‘Western Maharashtra Tax Practitioners Association’ and ‘Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa’ & also on the bodies of several MNCs as a counsel and trainer for P.O.S.H. (Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace). Also, I’m associated with some management institutes and law colleges in Pune as a Guest Lecturer for my specialized topics and a Jury member for several inter-college and inter-state Moot Court Competitions, Client Counselling competitions and Negotiations Challenges. For past 9 years I have been associated with several NGOs & voluntary groups in Mumbai & Pune that work for welfare & education of the underprivileged, orphans & children of sex workers. I am also associated with blind colleges in & around Pune as a writer for these ambitious & bright students during their exams. Thus, I’ve been awarded with National recognition of appreciation at ‘India Book of Records, 2020’ for the contribution made to legal profession as a young advocate & multi-talented person. Recently, I was also awarded with ‘Mahila Prashikshan Sansthan’s Glory Award’ for remarkable work in women empowerment. In the past, I’ve been awarded as ‘One of The Top 51 Most Influential Women Of India’ by Brijbhoomi Foundation. Recently, I’m interviewed live on various social media channels by celebrated Economist & Business Analyst Dr. Sharad Kohli on the topic ‘Will Covid-19 open new vistas for legal profession’. Apart from that, being a trained Kuchipudi (Classical) dancer I’ve given numerous dance performances one of which entered The Guinness Book of World Record. Also, Won ‘The Most Intellectual Woman’ title at the National Level Beauty pageant & ‘Face of The Magazine’ for the famous National Fashion Lifestyle magazine called & felicitated by Mr. Rajat Sharma. In the past I’ve also performed in several Hindi & Marathi Commercial films. My Short film ‘Light of the Dark’ was declared as one of the best short films at the 60 Second Film Festival of India. My another short film ‘On Set of Senility’ is widely used in Alzheimer’s related awareness campaign since it contains sensitive message for educating people about it. I always intend to lead the positive change by way of education in the manner individual practices are run, managed & operated with expertise & ease. My prime objectives are providing timely services & innovative solutions to my clients & imparting practical training & education to my students in the recognised areas of practise. It allows me to give my clients & students sincere & realistic advice & guidance that would work in their best interest.
