Dialectics

Every week, usually on Saturdays, the ‘dialectics’ session is conducted at the Firm, where all the associates participate. The dialectics session is an opportunity for everyone to improve their understanding of a statute in the preparation of a case. The ‘dialectics’ session is inspired from the practice introduced by Socrates, the Greek philosopher about 400 years BCE, where his students were encouraged to engage in a debate, to explore a topic and challenge then existing beliefs, ultimately aiming for a deeper understanding or truth. Similarly, every individual at ‘Prem Pothina Associates’ participates in the debate, to churn out new insights. The  popularity and success of the Firm within a short span was basically because of the ‘out-of-the box’ thinking and legal strategies employed by the Founder.
