You can sign as a writer not as advocate.

You can also sign as a witness but not as a lawyer/advocate till you get enrolled with any of the Bar Council of India.

You may mention that the agreement has been drafted by (Your name & Signature).

You can not sign as a writer or as a witness but not as a lawyer.

Sachin! It seems that you have wrongly withdrawn his rights as a common citizen.

See in the contract Act any one entered in to a contract except Who is not competent to contract.Mentione U/S 11 of the Act.

In your case presently you are not an Advocate as per Advocate Act, so you can not sign as an advocate, but if you are appointed inhouse lawyer then you can sign any document on behalf of your client if you are duly authorised by the company/client in this regard.

All my friends

I think even an advocate also can not sign commercial or fresh agreements on behalf of a client. He is authorised to do that if the party is with any legal conflict and the advocate is authorised to do so only to SATTLE THE DISPUTE and not to conduct clients day to day business.

There is no restriction in Contract act that any agreement should be signed by the party only.

If any body, what so ever he may be, enters into an agreement and the persons effected follow the agreement that agreement is between parties effected and is perfact in all respect however not signed by the parties.

Mr Akhilesh is clear on this issue.
