Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & Law
After over three decades in the legal-trenches, Mike Bassett has learned to appreciate two things: good conversation & good coffee.
Legal Grounds is an ongoing series of interviews with the people who are shaping our world - legal or otherwise. Witty, irreverent, & always thoughtful, these brief discussions fall somewhere between “Night Court” & Hopper’s “Nighthawks At The Diner”.
With that in mind, we promise your coffee will still be warm when the podcast is done.

Legal Grounds | Suraj Vyas Curiosity as a Catalyst, Helping Others to Help Yourself, & Going In-House Right Out of the Gate
My guest this week is Suraj Vyas, an attorney specializing in patent law with a focus on construction and contracts.
Having spent the past 6 years on the Super Lawyer’s Rising Star list, Suraj began his legal career as in-house counsel for Rising Sun Engineering before founding his own firm in 2018.
Suraj developed an interest in construction work at a young age, pursuing an undergraduate degree in Water Resources Management & Policy, but his interdisciplinary interests would lead him to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps, combining a love of engineering with the law.
Now with nearly a decade of practice beneath his belt, Suraj is as committed to helping his communities as he is his clients. We sit down to discuss how curiosity is the catalyst behind everything he does, the people that shaped his journey, and why engineers and lawyers are more alike than you may think.
Enjoy the show!
