Mike Geske, Aphelion’s COO, has prepared a white paper about a lawsuit pending in India alleging that 31 of the most well known western law firms and a separate LPO company are illegally practicing law throughout India. The petition seeks an order from the High Court in Tamil Nadu requiring various agencies of the government of India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and the Bar Councils of India and Tamil Nadu to stop the named (and all other foreign) firms’ practices immediately under the Advocates Act of 1961 and, as an interim measure, an injunction prohibiting the firms from practicing law in India while the case is pending.
The full white paper is available here.
