You could rent an office space/apartment across all cities in India. The rents in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore would be high but in Tier 2 cities, it’s not much.

Yes, the lawyers can work from home/office and having internet at home is common thing in India.

If it is just about the internet, wouldn’t the cost of handing them data cards and laptops or net-books be more feasible than the cost of running a separate office space?

Whether have an office in an Indian City or letting people work from home is a difficult question.

Like earlier said, having a rental office in any Indian City - exceptions Mumbai or Delhi, should be easy and cost-effective.

The real question would be whether you would be able to conduct and/or supervise and/or perform work in a virtual environment, as from your experience as a lawyer, you might agree to a fact that, real world interactions are much more effective to convey legal issues/instructions, rather than an email or through internet amongst your peer group or any person for that matter.

Internet Connection query - Yes many of them do have an internet connection

Thank you all so much for your response. So, now they I know that most lawyers and law students have internet in their homes, I have one more question: Is the internet connection that lawyers and law students have in their homes a reasonably good connection? Is it fast enough to download and upload large amounts of documents that are sent via email?

I really appreciate all the responses.

Thanks,

Max
