Shocked at the biased line of questioning by Bar & Bench, trying to oppose liberalisation. Are they acting as a henchman of Indian law firms opposed to liberalisation? SHAME. Pathetic journalism, zero ethics.
Recently in a very interesting interview which was conducted by the editor of Bar & Bench , Mr Manan Mishra gave some interesting insights regarding the permit given to foreign law firms :-
1. “Why should we consult SILF? Several thousand law firms are there today. SILF represents only a handful of law firms, the big law firms who were getting benefits in absence of these rules and regulations.
Now we have come to know that these big law firms were the ones who were impliedly and indirectly helping the foreign law firms.”
***2. “***For most of the arbitration cases, even Indian companies opt for Singapore or Hong Kong, or the UK. Therefore, we thought that our lawyers in the long run are going to be the losers. We are producing very good lawyers after this five-years law course, and we have a number of very good law schools and universities. Therefore, now we can compete with most of the developed countries. Our students are much in demand in the US and the UK. ”
