Dear All, According to my perception, foreign law firm should be permitted to practise in india as it is a way not only to gain different skills but also different modus operandi of operating a law firm.Working with foreign law firms indian lawyer can learn a lot and could change the old traditional pattern of indian judiciary.

in case if the government allows the same,the same will affect the low and average profile professionals and in case if not allowed,as part of the relation between countries in regard to matters touching universal interest,our country will be forced to allow in future by pressure So alone my opinion is the third among the options

In the age of globalisation it's unfair to bar foreign law firms to practice in India. It's the globalisation which is creating lacs of jobs for Indian youth.

principle of natural justice will be the basis for ajudication any person is at liberty to practice law any where in the world. I would like to remember our Senior Solicitors/Advocates/Baristars who fought for Independence practised outside India. I would like to remember them. Some of them are Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabai Patel, Vittalbai Patel.

Foreign law firms should not be allowed to our country. If any one wants to practice in our country, they must attend written examination regarding our culture and our roots. Laws came out from our needs.

Foreign firms may be allowed as there are no boundaries of countries today. Global market has been recognized by the society. However only those firms may be allowed, which belongs to the country, where our law firms and advocates are allowed to practice / appear in the court under the norms taking care of the safe guards / interest of the legal profession of this country.

Foreign law firms be allowed to practice in India because most of us who are in legal field are not sincere and when they come in india, the possibility of revolution in interpretation of Indian statutes would be increased.

foreign law firms may try to win over the bench by hook or crook as they do not know the complexities of a litigation and their whole system is based upon computer/internet

Yes. The privilege obtained under Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization helps the foreign law firms to practice in India. It promotes the field of law in mutual development through knowledge transfer and which in due course heps to amend our law, based on the recommendations or adoptions from the foreign law

they would find difficulty in applying current trend local laws and the ways to go about it in local sites n hence work is slowed down compared to localites, further they are also nullifying the local law firms opportunities by investing huge foriegn money. let them work under local law firms for both the peoples success

no foreign firms must not be allowed to practice in india because the law firm culture in india is still in its nascent stage so this will be a great hit to upcoming talents in the field of law.

Yes! Foreign Law Firms shall be allowed to practice in India. However, in doing so doctrine of reciprocity must be taken into consideration. India must allow lawyers/law firms of countries having reciprocal arrangement for Indian Lawyers/Law Firms. Further Indian Government must negotiate with more and more countries on this issue.

yes. foreign law firm should be allowed to practice in India. That will ofcourse more jobs for local lawyers and we will be able to take advantages of their expertise. As the rig veda says, "let noble thoughts come from all sides".

arrangement should be recidprocal. if they can practice her even we should be allowed to practise in thier country. Healthy competition is always welcome. The respective bar councils of each state will be able to protect the intrests of we Advocates. Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa has taken a good step of providing all the Bars under its jurisdiction with SCC and AIR judgeent case laws. The real threat [ if envisaged ] is only to the law firms and not to us free lancers.
 
Posted by Chayanika

18/08/2008 09:46:34

Definitely yes.Because that way we will have stiff competition resulting in good quality work and it will also increase the salary quotient of Indian Lawyers who are at present paid a measly amount compared to their foreign counterparts.

We all know there are several young advocates doing online job for the foreign firms. There is nothing wrong init. The foriegn firms are working with high proffessionolism which will help the Indian Young lawyers in future. They will be provided with job and good facilities which are modern and uptodate. I think the british India and the present India is differennt. We have man power with high potentiality which we are not able to utilize. That part we may not forget for the young generation.

Foreign law firms should be allowed to operate on a level-playing field with the Indian law firms so that they bring with them a fresh brand of professionalism, competence and expertise that the legal profession here has failed to develop indigenously.
