Legal profession is one of the noble professions amongst all. It plays a pivotal role in strengthening our society and Lawyers act as a carrier for providing justices to the victims. However, to deliver justice requires adept legal acumen, passion to fight for injustice and humane heart to deal every case with utmost sensitivity. One such top notch lawyer is Ritu Goyal. She is a Partner of a flourishing law-firm Naks & Partners (Advocates & Solicitors).
It was her diligent efforts and utmost integrity towards her work that led Ritu to make strides in legal industry which earlier was considered as a male-centric profession.
