General Counsels' Association of India Asks Law Ministry for Statutory Recognition of General Cou...

  • Following a similar request made by the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) to the Bar Council of India (BCI), the General Counsels' Association of India (GCAI) submitted a representation to Union Minister of State for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal seeking statutory recognition of general counsel and in-house lawyers as legal practitioners.
  • Dr. Sanjeev Gemawat, founder of GCAI, apprised the Minister that regulation and recognition of over 50,000 general counsel practicing law in India is extremely important.
  • GCAI's representation to the Minister highlighted that the corporate sector is being looked after by trained legal practitioners. However, even though they deal with all facets of Indian laws, regulatory compliances, adjudication, arbitration and litigation, they are not recognised as "advocates" under Indian laws, thereby not being regulated by any professional code of conduct or a regulatory body.
  • Therefore, GCAI suggested that there should be a suitable amendment to Indian laws, primarily the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules, 1975, so that due regulation and recognition are provided to the legal services by general counsel.
