What the EPP accreditation means to us

“Being formally recognized by STEP as an Employer Partner through the EPP Program, is an important milestone for our firm because we pride ourselves on the emphasis we place internally and externally, on our employees. Their continued success and education translates into firm success and growth” says Nithila, partner at NIKA LAW.  

Developing talent internally by providing financial and non-financial support and mentorship to their associate lawyers, assistants and clerks motivates NIKA employees to advance in their individual and collective skill sets which has resulted in the firm’s ability to demonstrate both high quality skills and service to their clients.  The firm has grown from 3 to 10 employees in just two years, despite the pandemic which disadvantaged many other businesses. 

NIKA LAW is committed to continuing to invest in its professional development plan and standards internally in their quest to be recognised and known both locally and internationally as a law firm that provides quality and trusted expertise, advice and service to its client base.
