In a legal landscape where rules evolve, workplaces transform, and families confront complex emotional battles, few lawyers embody versatility the way Adv. Navmallika G. does. As the Founder of Preserv Legal, she moves effortlessly between labour law, employment advisory, family disputes, POSH training, and corporate compliance. Her expertise spans industries, but her approach is rooted in empathy, structure, and fairness — creating a space where clients feel guided, supported, and protected.
On Koffee Conversation @TEIF, Navmallika opens up about the mission behind her firm, the values shaping her work, and the deeply human stories she carries from courts, conference rooms, and training sessions. She brings clarity to compliance, strength to family matters, and a grounded voice to conversations around gender equality and safe workplaces. Her journey isn’t just professional — it’s personal, emotional, and purpose-driven.
Navmallika’s legal journey began in law firms, learning litigation, corporate advisory, and employment law under seasoned seniors. Post-pandemic, she felt a calling to create something of her own — a practice rooted in holistic thinking, early mitigation, and fairness. That’s how Preserv Legal was born: a firm built on the belief that preservation comes before conflict, and proactive solutions prevent future disputes. From sleepless nights, first clients, and early wins to building a close-knit associate team, the journey has been equal parts challenging and fulfilling.
Her career expanded into family law, where emotionally charged cases taught her the power of empathy balanced with objectivity. Parallelly, her decade-long experience as a POSH trainer emerged from a desire to prevent harm, create awareness, and ensure safer workplaces. Whether resolving wage disputes, supporting parents in custody battles, or guiding organizations through compliance, Navmallika’s path reflects courage, humanity, and relentless dedication.
