Meet the Team

Niki Bahrehmand

CEO & Founder

Southern Methodist Class of 2025 Alumni and Second Century Scholar, I founded Women in Law Organization to create the kind of access platform I wish more students had while navigating the pre-law journey. As someone who grew up dreaming of attending SMU which was the only school I applied to, I am very passionate about helping aspiring legal professionals gain the mentorship, opportunities, and guidance needed to confidently build their careers in law.

Meera Patel

COO

As someone pursuing a career in law myself, I am passionate about creating supportive spaces for students navigating the pre law journey and helping aspiring legal professionals feel more confident pursuing their goals. I understand how overwhelming the path to law school can feel without mentorship, guidance, and a strong sense of community, which is why I care deeply about building spaces where students feel supported and encouraged.

I currently work as a Legal Clerk within the Chief Legal Office at Bestow, where I support legal and compliance initiatives while continuing to grow my experience within the legal field. Through Women in Law Organization, I hope to help students build meaningful connections, gain access to opportunities and mentorship, and feel empowered throughout their journey into the legal profession.
