The Law Society of England and Wales is calling on London’s top legal practices to join its forthcoming trip to India, as the legal profession continues to lobby the country to ditch its outright ban on foreign law firms.

The move will see the society invite some of London’s largest law firms, including Clifford Chance, Allen & Overy, Linklaters, Lovells, Norton Rose and Ashurst, to join a delegation due to travel to India later this month.
