Pallav Vora - Angel Protocol

Nonprofit Legal Counsel / Advisor

"The truth is permanent and everything else falls by the wayside."
Dave Chappelle

After graduating from law school, I started my career in litigation at a private firm and litigated a wide-variety of cases (civil, criminal, administrative hearings)
In 2010, I made the decision to transition to in-house legal work for a nonprofit organization (after being serendipitously introduced to the space by my then girlfriend, now wife)
Since then I have served as General Counsel to Global Brigades as well as its sister company Eskala, an international development organization with operations in six countries across North America, Central America, West Africa and Europe
When I have the time, I try to take on pro bono cases for individual clients in need. It is important to me to be able to help people on a mico level and it allows me to dust off my courtroom lawyer skills
I knew very little about cryptocurrency and digital assets before joining the Angel Protocol team, but was immediately drawn in by the potential that the technology has to benefit the scale and scope of impact for nonprofits and social impact organizations

I have been fortunate to have an education, and strongly believe I have the responsibility to use it as much as possible, in furtherance of public service/good
I am less interested in how you feel than I am in what you do (something I tell my kids constantly)
More isn't always better
A community is only as strong as its members contributions

My wife and I are live music junkies, and try to attend concerts and festivals as often as we can
I once ran into Bob Dylan at a Dunkin Donuts and it was the only time in my life that I was truly starstruck
I have three wonderful children who take up the majority of my non-work related time. They are a joy (and a load)
I am a passionate vinyl record collector
I watch a lot of horror movies
