Khurram’s story is anything but conventional. He began with dreams of becoming a doctor but shifted gears after discovering his passion for law in high school. Now, he runs a thriving law practice in Atlanta, specializing in business law. • Khurram opens up about growing up in a traditional household that expected him to pursue medicine. After a pivotal experience with high school mock trials, he decided to pursue law despite family resistance. He also shares how organic chemistry at Emory University played a big role in that decision! • After law school, Khurram faced several challenges in finding his niche. He worked in criminal defense and personal injury before eventually finding his passion in business law. He reflects on how crucial it was to learn what he didn’t want to do before finding the right path. • Starting The Baig Law Firm in 2012 was a leap of faith. Khurram discusses the mental hurdles he faced, the balance between family and work, and the process of building a firm from scratch with a limited budget. His decision to prioritize his family, coaching his kids' sports teams, and attending school events drove his desire to create a practice focused on freedom rather than just financial gain. • In this episode, Khurram offers insights into how he managed growth at the firm while maintaining quality service. He also explains why he believes the traditional billable hours model is flawed and how switching to a flat-fee structure allowed him to better serve his clients. • Throughout the episode, you’ll hear stories of highs and lows, including difficult cases like a nationwide manhunt that left a lasting impact on him and his firm. Khurram’s story is packed with life lessons on perseverance, entrepreneurship, and finding balance between career and family. • If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or lawyer, or simply interested in hearing a real-life story of building a business from the ground up, this episode is filled with actionable insights. • 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more powerful stories from entrepreneurs who took the road less traveled!
