Mint - easily India’s best quality business daily – will now feature cutting-edge legal industry news and analysis in its pages every second Friday under an exclusive new content partnership with Legally India.
In today’s Mint edition, Legally India editor Kian Ganz’s colum demystifies India’s legal market: Despite India’s fairly average legal population density every lawyer here has to make do with only $1.4m of GDP. This, it turns out, is the lowest figure in both developed and developing legal markets. Click here to read the column on this, pseudo lawyers and more.
Please comment below or on Mint with suggestions for future topics or stories worth covering.
By reading the comments you agree that they are the (often anonymous) personal views and opinions of readers, which may be biased and unreliable, and for which Legally India therefore has no liability.

To clarify, I do not consider that LI is anyone's mouthpiece.
For one, the philosophy with which LI was founded was that it should be an unbiased and balanced source of news. In straight news there is no place for my opinion, nor should there be. In features, we generally try to balance both sides to stories, as we should.
Sometimes our email newsletters (which should resume regular service shortly) have also contained a sprinkling of opinion, although again in moderation.
The Mint article, on the other hand, is an op-ed style piece that makes a specific argument. This of course requires an opinion of some sort to be readable.
Best wishes,
Kian
Also for those who arent lawyers, something on what non-contentious lawyers do; could be a funny caricature of the roles and personalities.
The whole promoter run model, opening up for foreign firms is now stale, do something interesting!
Since this is a regular tie-up with Mint, it would be great if the articles could be a combination of analysis of (black letter) legal issues, besides an analysis of the legal market/ law firms which you will anyway provide. Another suggestion: you could, perhaps, have a small section dealing with the big ticket deals every fortnight, which would give the mainstream audience more of a flavour of what you do.
