An overwhelming majority of India’s top legal professionals and business leaders have come out in support of the liberalisation of the country’s legal market, according to new research.

A recent survey run by YouGov and Allen & Overy (A&O) – which polled more than 300 senior Indian business figures, including 100 top executives and 100 GCs from the country’s largest companies – showed 96% of respondents believe the Indian legal market should be liberalised.
