Jiten’s Jobs
Jiten’s Jobs follows the employment-law career of Jiten Kotecha before and during his rise to senior in-house counsel at Cummins. From Pinsent Masons and KPMG to shorter experience with Olswang and John Lewis, the series goes back through the institutions, transactions and workplace controversies surrounding the professional world that helped shape a corporate employment lawyer.

He had spent years inside major law firms, professional-services organisations and corporate legal functions. Jiten’s Jobs follows the route to the chair – then looks at what happened when the file landed on the desk.
