At Dipchand LLP, we’ve started a new tradition of Lore Nights.🔮The idea is simple yet powerful—we sit together, we listen, we learn. It’s a chance to dive into the personal and professional journeys of our teammates, to hear their stories, their wisdom, and their best (and funniest) life advice. Last night, our very own Louis-Pierre Gravelle, CPVA took the hot seat, and what an incredible session it was. From invaluable career insights to reflections on life, LP shared moments that shaped him, lessons he’s carried, and even answered the all-important question: If your life were a sitcom, who would play you? (The audience verdict? Harrison Ford.) A huge shoutout to Nicolas Auger, J.D. (CA), J.D. (US) and Rutendo M. for leading the conversation with thoughtful and engaging questions. Their ability to keep the room captivated made the night even more special. This tradition is more than just storytelling. It’s about strengthening bonds, fostering understanding, and appreciating the people we work alongside every day. Because when you know someone’s journey, their struggles, and their triumphs, you don’t just work together—you root for each other. Creating spaces like these in a workplace are essential, because the strongest teams aren’t built on just skill and expertise, they’re built on connection and a shared sense of belonging. Looking forward to the next Lore Night—because every great team has great stories to tell. #FirmCulture #TeamBuilding #lawfirm #DipchandLLP
