1.This โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ is insecure about that he wil loose his slaves to foreign firm.

2.โ–ฎโ–ฎโ–ฎ and friends, If you had treated your salves with dignity, paid them what they deserve, you wouldn't have been so insecure.

3. I will tell Modiji, Please bring foreign law firms in India, and also allow them an entry into litigation, this only will end your dynatsic rule over legal industry.
If your lalas paid people properly and treated them like professionals and not slaves then probably yeh naubat nahin aati.

Ab bajao pateela.

SILF- Society Of Indian Lala/ Loser Firms
Against the move by SILF to oppose this entry, we (me and a couple of other law firm associate friends) are planning to send a representation to the BCI in support of such move. We have made a good document for this effect and we need your (law students, associates, partners) so that the BCI knows we are all overwhelmingly in support of this move. Letโ€™s put the days of slavery by family owned slave traders behind us forever. Abhi nahi toh kabhi nahi. Link: https://forms.gle/4x7VLEE1npCYcdMs9
FYI, Just want to clarify, there's no way for us to verify that it's an authentic initiative, so sign at own risk, though the letter seems to be well-argued and well-intentioned. Is it an anonymous group that's behind this petition? Any more information you can share?
Because an obligatory health warning should go with anonymous posts soliciting personal information without much background information, even if it seems authentic. But it's your personal data, so you are free to do what you like and give it to Zuckerberg, BJP or Chinese communist party if you like. :)
Why bring in BJP here? Seriously asking, Why? This shows the mod's political leanings, lol.
Moderator rightly getting downvoted. We want Kian back and we donโ€™t want this current moderator.
Thank you, friend. Salute you. Unfortunately, petty rivalries and politics are preventing NLUs from uniting under a common front. A senior NLU like NLSIU or NALSAR should take the lead, but they won't because of politics and ego.
@Guest sharing Google form: Please post it as a separate topic.

@Mod: Please make the separate topic pinned, starred, blue-bannered and bold. It's very important for us. Thanks.
People should support liberalisation, if yr afraid to sign this petition send yr letter of support directly to BCI.....anonymous letters may not be considered........if you send in a group chances of flashback are lesser, especially if it's a large number of supporters.........if you don't Support now the rules will get recalled,SILF is at it...see below link of conversation on LI

Guys, I canโ€™t emphasis this enough, but donโ€™t really care if itโ€™s the representation I made (linked above) or any representation a fellow associate here or even the moderator would like to make. Honestly at this point, only care about getting the word out to BCI that we are all overwhelmingly in support of this.
The SILF petition is hilarious on so many counts:

1. Bhasin has some 10-12 underpaid associates, what is he fretting about? In a tier ranking the firm won't even come in Tier 5. Allen and Overy is in no rush to poach his M&A gang of fresh grads.

2. Why are the Shroffs imperilling themselves by putting out messages that will make foreign law firms vary of them? Is it worth dying on this hill?

3. These firms can't get the BCI to even send them a read receipt on WhatsApp, what will even come of such petitions? Any firm with the guts to oppose it should have filed a petition on Day 1, but they know the foreign law firms will not take kindly to it so they have their tails between their legs.
It's cute how SILF thinks they actually represent a large number of law firms in this country, leave alone majority.
Yes, Indian law firm leaders should definitely be upset at this. Anyone with an LLM or foreign bar qualification will have an insane advantage. Look at what US firms did when they opened up in Brazil. They hire few people, only LLMS, and first year pay is as much as what a partner at a local Brazilian firms makes. This will happen in India as well, at a much more massive scale.
LLM qualification will probably be not required in the Indian context because empanelled Indian lawyers at these firms can only advice on one jurisdiction (Indian) and anyone who has already been working with them on an Indian desk would already have an LLM for equivalence purposes.
Somebody get Lalit Bhasin to shut up... https://www.barandbench.com/news/corporate/foreign-law-firms-silf-tells-bci-that-rules-can-lead-to-loss-of-livelihood-for-indian-lawyers

Like Lalit Bahain cares for lawyers livelihoods....ghanta..............and now that SILF representation given advocates should write in droves to BCI to ignore SILF and its dumbass representation
