Registration of Law Firm..

I have a law firm in chennai, I would like register the same as a firm but one of my partner is not an advocate and he too exists as a legal consultant in the firm.. we also have a current account in our firms name .. The doubts are:

Can i register a law firm in partnership nature? will it be possible?

If not possible means whats the solution?

I thought of going for sole prop. firm? but will there be any future course problems with respect to the account maintenance and IT issues?

Eagerly awaiting for some expert opinion.. Thanking you in anticipation..

but you have to register it as a law firm and consultancy or even if you register it as a law firm then make sure your partner does not seems to be advocate in any way from your registration.

Dear All,

Incorporation of Law Firm is not much complicated.

You can either way. But the essential requirement for incorporation of Law Firm is, all the partners must be Registered with State bar Council as Practicing Advocate. Else you cannot name it LAWFIRM. Even Advocates Act andd BCI has many restriction in this regards. Better way, have one more Registered Advocate who will remain in your favor and can act as sleeping partner and go for Legally incroporation to avoind descilpinary Action by State bar Council.

You can avail many benefits of Legally incorporated Law Firm such as Legal Support of BCI and State Bar, Global Legal market, TAX benefits, protection from the existing Law Firms and so on...

We would like to Assists you to get incorporated your Law Firm.
