What is EAP?

The Endeavour Advocacy Project is an initiative by Gopal Sreenevasan that serves as a collective of independent firms designed to help young lawyers in Malaysia launch their careers as an independent advocate.

Through targeted mentorship, practical experience, and a comprehensive approach to professional development, we aim to cultivate a community of confident and proficient advocates who are equipped to navigate the nuances of legal practice while upholding high standards of excellence.

The Concept

Disputes practitioners who are just starting up their practice often find themselves facing two challenges – not knowing how to improve their advocacy skills and not knowing how to sustainably grow into a counsel practice.

Imagine a scenario where every fledgling advocate sets sail in their own ship, navigating with the guidance of seasoned captains. The project intends to introduce the barristers’ chambers style of practice to Malaysia, equipping the members to thrive in their roles and eventually venture into the open seas with resilience and expertise. This is the essence of the Endeavour Advocacy Project – it provides emerging advocates with the tools, resources, and expert advice needed to confidently navigate the complexities of establishing their independent practices.

Inspired by other legal incubators, Endeavour Advocacy Project is similar in the sense that it is a program that provides support and resources to lawyers who have been practicing for a few years but are now looking to build their own sustainable and successful independent practice.

Beyond just advocacy work, members also engage in drafting various legal documents such as research memos, pleadings, affidavits, submissions on a project basis, to name a few. This approach enables young advocates to gain practical experience and broaden their skills in different aspects of legal practice.

The project provides a safe space for innovation, experimentation, and implementation of ideas with reduced risk. It offers practical experience and opportunities to explore various legal strategies, attract clients, and refine their craft under the guidance of experienced advocates. While maintaining their responsibilities in managing their own firms, EAP members will develop the independence and resilience necessary for long-term success.

Why Join EAP?

Our advocates act as collaborative partners, working closely with you.

Access to Resources

Members of EAP benefit from a comprehensive legal library, access to updated case studies and reference materials, and use of state-of-the-art facilities in the same building as Endeavour GLP. This provides a professional, conducive environment for research, client meetings, and collaboration.

Immersive Learning and Collaboration

New solo practitioners benefit from guidance and mentorship within the chambers, connecting with seasoned advocates to navigate ethical and practical challenges. Through hands-on experience, members learn effective collaboration with solicitors and build skills in client representation and case management, easing the transition into full-fledged advocacy.

Exposure to Legal Tech for Enhanced Practice

EAP members benefit from advanced legal tech resources that can streamline processes, automate tasks, and conduct research more efficiently — without the need for a physical office. This support reduces costs and allows advocates to focus fully on advocacy, fostering a financially sustainable practice.

Peer Support and Client Referrals

Joining the Endeavour Advocacy Project connects members with a supportive cohort of emerging law practices, fostering collaboration and exchange of knowledge. This community not only offers shared resources but also facilitates case referrals and opportunities to work alongside senior advocates or solicitors.
