There is rightly a focus on India at the moment. It is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and, after many years of discussion, there appears to be some progress on ‘liberalisation’ – allowing foreign lawyers to carry on some form of legal work in India. There is also understandable scepticism about whether this will really happen. Given the business connections between the UK and India, the UK is already an important hub for Indian legal issues. How will this be impacted by liberalisation and what are the opportunities for law firms in India?

This session will be an ‘off the record’ discussion with some recognised India experts on what is happening in India.
