On Thursday, September 12, 2024, the South Asian Chamber of Commerce (SACC), in collaboration with our co-host, the South Asian Bar Association (SABA) Houston, successfully hosted an essential dinner and discussion event focused on the legal pitfalls that small businesses frequently face. Held at the prestigious LyondellBasell Tower in Houston, this evening of learning and networking brought together a diverse group of entrepreneurs, business owners, and legal professionals. Attendees gained valuable insights on how to avoid common legal errors that could severely impact their business operations.
The event featured three distinguished speakers from the legal field: Ashish Mahendru, Founding Partner at Mahendru P.C., Ayesha Najam, Partner at Gibbs & Bruns, LLP, and Divjyot Singh, Managing Partner at SHEV Law Group. Each of these experts shared their extensive knowledge and experience, offering the audience practical strategies to help small business owners navigate the often complex and daunting legal landscape. Their presentations addressed key topics, such as contract disputes, intellectual property protection, and employment law, all while emphasizing the importance of being proactive to prevent costly mistakes.
One of the highlights of the evening was the opportunity to network with fellow professionals, entrepreneurs, and legal experts. The relaxed atmosphere allowed for meaningful connections to be made, as participants exchanged ideas, shared their experiences, and discussed potential collaborations. The event underscored the importance of building a strong legal foundation for business success and how crucial it is to seek expert guidance to navigate legal challenges effectively.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsors, Beck Redden LLP and AZA Law, for their generous support in making this event a reality. Thanks to their contributions, attendees enjoyed complimentary valet parking, provided by AZA, making it easier for them to focus on the event’s valuable content and connections. The valet service, conveniently located across from Pappa’s Restaurant on McKinney, added an extra layer of convenience to the evening.
