Assessment of Views on the Potential Liberalization of India's Legal Sector by DAU Law School
The Dhirubhai Ambani University (DAU) School of Law has initiated a significant study to gather data-driven insights on the potential liberalization of the Indian legal market, amidst ongoing regulatory changes and global interest. The survey aims to capture perspectives from various legal stakeholders, including Indian lawyers, law firm leaders, corporate counsel, regulators, students, and academics [1].
The key focus areas of the survey include the perceived benefits of opening the legal market, such as enhancing professional readiness, global competitiveness, and legal innovation. It also delves into potential risks, like impacts on domestic legal capacity, client servicing, and the need for safeguards [1].
The survey assesses the preparedness of Indian legal talent and institutions for cross-border legal practice and increased competition. It seeks insights on the necessary regulatory frameworks and institutional reforms to support a liberalized legal market. Additionally, the survey examines how market liberalization might influence legal education and the skills required by future legal professionals [1].
The results of this survey are intended to provide neutral, empirical evidence to policymakers such as the Bar Council of India, Ministry of Law & Justice, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, and NITI Aayog. This evidence base aims to support transparent, inclusive, and effective policymaking in a complex sector where regulatory decisions must balance domestic interests with global competition [1].
Emphasizing the need for data-backed decision-making, the survey highlights that reforms should be practical, inclusive, and future-ready to accommodate the evolving legal ecosystem [1]. As the Indian legal profession undergoes a transformative phase due to global interest in regulatory opening and discussions on the liberalization of the Indian legal market, this survey plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the sector [1].
