1. What is the permitted scope of practice and restrictions for enrolled as advocates as OCI? if there are Any
1.
I have 20+ years of experience in another industry and switched to law mid-career. However, I’ve learned that OCI holders cannot register with State Bar Councils or practise Indian law independently.
Questions for seniors:
- What are the actual practice options for OCI holders with Indian LLB + AIBE?
- Can we only work as in-house counsel / legal consultants in law firms, limited to international/cross-border matters?
- What realistic career paths exist for a 40-year-old looking to build a second career in law?
Would really appreciate any guidance, experiences, or references to rules/notifications.
Thank you!
