The Bar Council of India has agreed to set out a timeline for the liberalisation of its legal market, with Law Society president John Wotton claiming that he has “never been as confident” that the long-awaited process is finally underway.
The first discussions will be held between the parties at the International Bar Association’s annual conference in Dubai at the end of the month, with the Law Society hoping that the discussions will conclude by January, when a delegation from the Indian Bar Council is due to visit the UK.
