Thus, good news for middle class Indian IT professionals, bad news for middle class Indian lawyers. You can thank Lalaji LLP for that.
a) Reciprocal recognition of undergraduate law degrees from NLU's and top ranked private law universities. Giving an blanket reciprocal recognition will be difficult given the standard of law colleges in India.
b) Alternatively reduce the 2 year requirement for SQE 2 exemption to 6 months. The SRA already does this for jurisdictions like Kenya. If it can be done for Kenya, why not India.
The UK needs to stop treating Indian legal market as a third word legal market. If you want the share of the Indian legal market, lawyers here too need a share of the UK market or atleast relax the SQE requirements like I have mentioned.
