Foreign law firms ki koi jaroorat nahi hai.
People have discussed mergers. No one wants to merge because of profitability issues. Fly in fly out is most convenient.
According to the Sunday Guardian, SILF met with the BCI a few months ago and said: "Indian entities in India would lose their hold over young lawyers as once the foreign lawyers and firms enter the Indian market, they will emerge as the first choice for internship and jobs considering their pro-employee policies, pay, work environment and professionalism."
So how come the BCI didn't listen to them, considering that a very influential family close to the PM is the driving force behind SILF?
