The Bar Council of India has formed a committee, led by Cyril Shroff, to address concerns from Indian lawyers about new rules permitting foreign legal entities to operate in India. The committee aims to suggest amendments, protect Indian firms, ensure fair competition, and uphold legal ethics, submitting its report in 30 to 40 days.
The Madras High Court praised the Bar Council of India (BCI) for ensuring law colleges meet educational standards and commended its high-power committee for conducting surprise inspections. During a recent hearing, the court learned that the committee had inspected 22 institutions and submitted reports for 19.
