This query is : Resolved
Whether a lawyer employed by an LPO firm can give legal advice ? (Even if he has suspended his enrolment with the bar council)
Though a lawyer who's surrendered his enrolment, cannot practice law before a court, would he still be eligible to render legal advice ?
Also please tell me, whether a LPO (Legal Process Outsourcing)Firm, which employs hundreds of lawyers, can give free legal aid to the people ?
I need legal authority/precedent with regard to this.

Yes, He can give his advice. Advice doesn;t mean that he is attending a court. If LPO can give, it has no restriction to provide free legal aid with the help of its employed lawyers.
