Trends in the Indian legal services marketplace
Posted by BIthika Anand
A flourishing legal industry is
growing in lockstep with one of
the world’s most dynamic and
fastest-growing economies,
creating extraordinary opportunities
for lawyers and law firms.
Here’s everything you need to
know about the remarkable
growth and incredible future of
the Indian legal market. In 2010, the total value of
the Indian legal market was
estimated to be approximately
US$1.25 billion.
Myths and misinformation
about India’s legal industry
continue to hold surprising
sway among lawyers and
clients both inside and outside
the country. Therefore, it seems appropriate to
begin this overview of the Indian legal market with
some hard facts that establish the enormous promise
of this burgeoning sector.
• India’s legal profession is the world’s secondlargest,
with more than 600,000 lawyers in more
than 500 legal practices nationwide.
• In 2010, the total value of the Indian legal market
was estimated to be approximately US$1.25
billion.
• Expertise is flourishing in such practice areas as arbitration and ADR, competition
law, environmental law, international trade law, outbound foreign
direct investment, and restructuring and insolvency.
• Growing numbers of firms are exploring alternative pricing models, heralding
a not-too-distant day when the billable hour will no longer be a viable
pricing arrangement.
• Many large and mid-sized law firms are aiming to build a pan-India
presence, adding more practices and expanding their reach by acquiring
smaller firms.
• Increasing numbers of firms are investing in technology to strengthen their
knowledge management
processes.
• To compete in an increasingly
tough environment,
a number of
leading law firms are recruiting
executives from
overseas.
• Thanks to the widespread
availability of
high-quality and ambitious legal professionals, the industry has seen many
partners leave existing firms to start their own enterprises.
This remarkable time of growth and change marks the onset of a new age for
the Indian legal industry. The new breed of midsized and boutique law firms
is now seeking professional assistance to increase revenues and control costs
to enhance profits. These firms are recruiting teams of experts to manage
business support functions or simply outsourcing these functions altogether,
as well as weaving technology into processes and functions related to HR
and knowledge management.
