The Secret Behind a 25-Year Legal Career | Tito Isaac on Purpose, Burnout & Building a Firm.

What keeps a lawyer going after 25 years?
It’s not the prestige. It’s not the paycheck.

In this episode, veteran litigator and law firm founder Tito Isaac shares what really matters in a long legal career — and why some lawyers burn out while others find deeper meaning.

As the Founder & Managing Director of Tito Isaac & Co LLP, Tito has built a full-service law firm in Singapore that handles high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional matters — from individual disputes to corporate M&A. But behind the big clients and boardrooms is a deep belief in service, mentorship, and human connection.
