The General Counsels’ Association of India requests legal practitioners in organizations be allowed to enroll as advocates, represent employers, and have experience recognized, as part of suggested amendments to the Advocates Act.
The General Counsels’ Association of India and the Society of Indian Law Firms advocate for statutory recognition and privilege for general counsels in India. With over 50,000 practicing, they seek recognition as legal practitioners under Indian law, emphasizing the need for regulation and amendments to ensure their rights and status.
