NOTIFICATION New Delhi, the 13th May, 2025 F. No. BCI:D: 3335/2025.—The General Council of Bar Council of India hereby resolves to amend the Bar Council of India Rules for Registration and Regulation of Foreign Lawyers and Foreign Law Firms in India, 2022, earlier gazetted on 10th March, 2023.

The amended rules and regulations are approved by the Council and shall come into effect immediately upon publication in the Official Gazette.

Objects and Reasons:

1. In India Legal profession is treated as a noble profession. Legal Profession is not treated as a commercial activity or contract of service in India. Law is not a trade, and briefs no merchandise so the leaven of commercial competition or procurement should not vulgarize the legal profession (Hon’ble Justice Krishnairyer, V.R.)

2. Under the Indian Constitution, the legal profession is fundamentally distinct from trade and commerce in its objectives, governance, and societal role. While trade and commerce, protected under Article 19(1)(g) and regulated by Article 301, focus on economic activities such as profit generation, consumer satisfaction, and the promotion of free markets governed by principles of supply and demand, the legal profession transcends these commercial objectives. Recognized as a noble profession, the legal field is rooted in fiduciary and ethical responsibilities aimed at upholding justice and constitutional values, as emphasized in Article 39A, which ensures equal access to justice. Regulated by the Bar Council of India under the Advocates Act, 1961, the legal profession is dedicated to serving public interest and maintaining the Rule of Law, rather than operating as a commercial enterprise. This distinction was reinforced by the Supreme Court in Bar of Indian Lawyers v. D.K. Gandhi PS National Institute of Communicable Diseases and Anr., delivered on May 14, 2024, which excluded advocates from the purview of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (CPA) by categorizing their services as "contracts of personal service" instead of "contracts for service." This judgment, which overturned a previous ruling by the NCDRC, highlights the unique advocate-client relationship built on trust, confidentiality, and professional ethics, and resolves a longstanding debate by affirming the non-commercial nature of legal services. The constitutional framework further emphasizes this distinction through the Seventh Schedule, with trade and commerce governed under the Union List (Entries 41 and 42), granting the Union exclusive authority over inter-state and international trade. In contrast, the legal profession is addressed under Union List Entries 77 and 78, while aspects of professional conduct also fall under the Concurrent List, and Union law i.e. Advocates Act shall prevail in case of conflict.[भाग III—खण् ड 4] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 35 In essence, while trade and commerce prioritize economic growth and profit, the legal profession is dedicated to justice, ethical responsibility, and adherence to constitutional principles, making it a cornerstone of India’s democratic framework.

3. In the opinion of the Bar Council of India, the legal profession in India has to rise to the occasion to address the global changes in the legal arena brought about by the large scale migration of people between countries, a phenomenon unprecedented in earlier times. The world is becoming a global village.

4. International trade and commerce are advancing at a rapid pace. The demand for an open, responsive, and receptive legal professional mechanism in India from clients and businesses operating in international and cross-border markets is growing significantly. The expansion of international legal work, the globalization of legal practices, and the increasing internationalization of law are becoming highly relevant to the growth and evolution of the legal profession and practices in India.

5. The Bar Council of India initially opposed the entry of foreign lawyers and foreign law firms into India in any form. However, between 2007 and 2014, during Joint Consultative Conferences held with the Chairmen, Vice-Chairmen, and Chairmen of the Executive Committees of all State Bar Councils in India, the legal fraternity authorized the Bar Council of India to engage in dialogue and interaction with the Government of India (Ministry of Law and Justice and Ministry of Trade and Commerce) as well as with law councils and law societies of foreign countries. The purpose of these discussions was to explore the potential and prospects of allowing foreign lawyers to practice law in India, particularly in the fields of foreign law and diverse international legal issues in non-litigious matters, based on the principle of reciprocity. The Bar Council of India has been actively pursuing this mandate.

In the interim, a significant judgment was delivered by the Bombay High Court on December 16, 2009, in Lawyers Collective v. Bar Council of India. The Court held that the Reserve Bank of India was not justified in granting permission to foreign law firms to open liaison offices in India. Furthermore, the Court interpreted the expression "to practice the profession of law" under Section 29 of the Advocates Act, 1961, as encompassing both litigious and non-litigious matters. Consequently, it ruled that individuals or entities practicing non-litigious legal matters in India are also required to comply with the provisions of the Advocates Act, 1961.

6. The Madras High Court delivered a Judgment on 21.12.2012 in A.K. Balaji Versus Govt. of India in WP 5614 of 2004, and M.P. Nos. 1, 3 to 5,which, interalia, held as follows:- Para 63-“After giving our anxious consideration to the matter, both on facts and on law, we come to the

following conclusion:-

(i) Foreign law firms or foreign lawyers cannot practice the profession of law in India either on the litigation or non-litigation side, unless they fulfill the requirement of the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules.

(ii) However, there is no bar either in the Act or the Rules for the foreign law firms or foreign lawyers to visit India for a temporary period on a "fly in and fly out" basis, for the purpose of giving legal advise to their clients in India regarding foreign law or their own system of law and on diverse international legal issues.

(iii) Moreover, having regard to the aim and object of the International Commercial Arbitration introduced in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, foreign lawyers cannot be debarred to come to India and conduct arbitration proceedings in respect of disputes arising out of a contract relating to international commercial arbitration.

(iv) The B.P.O. Companies providing wide range of customised and integrated services and functions to its customers like word-processing, secretarial support, transcription services, proof-reading services, travel desk support services, etc. do not come within the purview of the Advocates Act, 1961 or the Bar Council of India Rules. However, in the event of any complaint made against these B.P.O. Companies violating the provisions of the Act, the Bar Council of India may take appropriate action against such erring companies.” 2010 (2) Mah LJ 726

7. The Bombay High Court, in Lawyers Collective vs Bar Council of India in WP 1526 0f 1995, on the other hand, on 16th December, 2009 concluded as follows:36 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC.4] “60. For all the aforesaid reasons, we hold that in the facts of the present case, the RBI was not justified in granting permission to the foreign law firms to open liaison offices in India under Section 29 of the 1973 Act.

We further hold that the expressions 'to practise the profession of law' in Section 29 of the 1961 Act is wide enough to cover the persons practising in litigious matters as well as persons practising in non litigious matters and, therefore, to practise in non litigious matters in India, the respondent Nos. 12 to 14 were bound to follow the provisions contained in the 1961 Act. The petition is disposed of accordingly with no order as to costs.”

8. Both the above judgments were challenged in the Supreme Court. While Bar Council of India challenged the Judgment of the Madras High Court, Lawyers Collective challenged the judgment of Bombay High Court.

When the matter against the judgment of the Madras High Court came up for hearing before the Supreme Court on 4th July, 2012, following interim order was passed. “In the meanwhile, it is clarified that Reserve Bank of India shall not grant any permission to the foreign law firms to open liaison offices in India under Section 29 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973. It is also clarified that the expression "to practice the profession of law"under Section 29 of the Advocates Act, 1961 covers the persons practicing litigious matters as well as non-litigious matters other than contemplated in para 63(ii) of the impugned order and, therefore, to practice in non-litigious matters in India the foreign law firms, by whatever name called or described, shall be bound to follow the provisions contained in the Advocates Act, 1961.” The said order has thereafter continued and is still in force.

9. The Hon’ble Supreme Court vide Judgment dated 13.3.2018 disposed of the appeals in both matters under the Civil Appeal Nos. 7875-7879 of 2015 with Civil Appeal Nos. 7170 of 2015 and Civil Appeal Nos. 8028 of 2015 in Bar Council of India Vs. A. K. Balaji and Ors. after consideration of the issues and held that:- “37. We have considered the rival submissions. Questions for consideration mainly arise out of directions in para 63 of the Madras High Court judgment which have already been quoted in the beginning of this judgment. viz.:

(i) Whether the expression ‘practice the profession of law’ includes only litigation practice or non-litigation practice also;

(ii) Whether such practice by foreign law firms or foreign lawyers is permissible without fulfilling the requirements of Advocates Act and the Bar Council of India Rules;

(iii) If not, whether there is a bar for the said law firms or lawyers to visit India on ‘fly in and fly out’ basis for giving legal advice regarding foreign law on diverse international legal issues;

(iv) Whether there is no bar to foreign law firms and lawyers from conducting arbitration proceedings and disputes arising out of contracts relating to international commercial arbitration;

(v) Whether BPO companies providing integrated services are not covered by the Advocates Act or the Bar Council of India rules.

RE : (i) “38. In Pravin C. Shah versus K.A. Mohd. Ali, it was observed that right to practice is genus of which right to appear and conduct cases is specie. It was observed: “………The right of the advocate to practise envelopes a lot of acts to be performed by him in discharge of his professional duties. Apart form appearing in the courts he can be consulted by his clients, he can give his legal opinion whenever sought for, he can draft instruments, pleadings, affidavits or any other documents, he can participate in any conference involving legal discussions etc. ……” In Ex. Capt. Harish Uppal versus Union of India 18, same view was reiterated.

“39. Ethics of the legal profession apply not only when an advocate appears before the Court. The same also apply to regulate practice outside the Court. Adhering to such Ethics is integral to the administration of justice. The professional standards laid down from time to time are required to be followed. Thus, we uphold the view that practice of law includes litigation as well as non litigation.[भाग III—खण् ड 4] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 37

RE : (ii) “40. We have already held that practicing of law includes not only appearance in courts but also giving of opinion, drafting of instruments, participation in conferences involving legal discussion. These are parts of non-litigation practice which is part of practice of law. Scheme in Chapter-IV of the Advocates Act makes it clear that advocates enrolled with the Bar Council alone are entitled to practice law, except as otherwise

provided in any other law. All others can appear only with the permission of the court, authority or person before whom the proceedings are pending. Regulatory mechanism for conduct of advocates applies to non- litigation work also. The prohibition applicable to any person in India, other than advocate enrolled under the Advocates Act, certainly applies to any foreigner also.

RE : (iii) “41. Visit of any foreign lawyer on fly in and fly out basis may amount to practice of law if it is on regular basis. A casual visit for giving advice may not be covered by the expression ‘practice’. Whether a particular visit is casual or frequent so as to amount to practice is a question of fact to be determined from situation to situation. Bar Council of India or Union of India are at liberty to make appropriate rules in this regard. We may, however, make it clear that the contention that the Advocates Act applies only if a person is practicing Indian law cannot be accepted. Conversely, plea that a foreign lawyer is entitled to practice foreign law in India without subjecting himself to the regulatory mechanism of the Bar Council of India Rules can also be not accepted. We do not find any merit in the contention that the Advocates Act does not deal with companies or firms and only individuals. If prohibition applies to an individual, it equally applies to group of individuals or juridical persons.

RE: (iv) “42. It is not possible to hold that there is absolutely no bar to a foreign lawyer for conducting arbitrations in India. If the matter is governed by particular rules of an institution or if the matter notherwise falls under

Section 32 or 33, there is no bar to conduct such proceedings in prescribed manner. If the matter is governed by an international commercial arbitration agreement, conduct of proceedings may fall under Section 32 or 33 read with the provisions of the Arbitration Act. Even in such cases, Code of Conduct, if any, applicable to the legal profession in India has to be followed. It is for the Bar Council of India or Central Government to make a specific provision in this regard, if considered appropriate.

RE: (v) “43. The BPO companies providing range of customized and integrated services and functions to its customers may not violate the provisions of the Advocates Act, only if the activities in pith and substance do not amount to practice of law. The manner in which they are styled may not be conclusive. As already explained, if their services do not directly or indirectly amount to practice of law, the Advocates Act may not apply. This is a matter which may have to be dealt with on case to case basis having regard to a fact situation.

“44. In view of above, we uphold the view of the Bombay High Court and Madras High Court in para 63

(i) of the judgment to the effect that foreign law firms/companies or foreign lawyers cannot practice profession of law in India either in the litigation or in non-litigation side (Explanation-unless they fulfill the requirement of the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules), derived from conjoint reading of The Madras High Court Judgment on 21.12.2012 in A.K. Balaji Versus Govt. of India and the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Judgment dated 13.3.2018 disposing of the appeals in both matters in Bar Council of India Vs. A. K. Balaji and Ors.).

We, however, modify the direction of the Madras High Court in Para 63(ii) that there was no bar for the foreign law firms or foreign lawyers to visit India for a temporary period on a “fly in and fly out” basis for the purpose of giving legal advice to their clients in India regarding foreign law or their own system of law and on diverse international legal issues. We hold that the expression “fly in and fly out” will only cover a casual visit not amounting to “practice”. In case of a dispute whether a foreign lawyer was limiting himself to “fly in and fly out” on casual basis for the purpose of giving legal advice to their clients in India regarding foreign law or their own system of law and on diverse international legal issues or whether in substance he was doing practice which is prohibited can be determined by the Bar Council of India.38 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC.4] However, the Bar Council of India or Union of India will be at liberty to make appropriate Rules in this regard including extending Code of Ethics being applicable even to such cases.

45. We also modify the direction in Para 63 (iii) that foreign lawyers cannot be debarred from coming to India to conduct arbitration proceedings in respect of disputes arising out of a contract relating to international commercial arbitration. We hold that there is no absolute right of the foreign lawyer to conduct arbitration proceedings in respect of disputes arising out of a contract relating to international commercial arbitration. If the Rules of Institutional Arbitration apply or the matter is covered by the provisions of the Arbitration Act, foreign lawyers may not be debarred from conducting arbitration proceedings arising out of international commercial arbitration in view of Sections 32 and 33 of the Advocates Act. However, they will be governed by code of conduct applicable to the legal profession in India. Bar Council of India or the Union of India are at liberty to frame rules in this regard.

46. We also modify the direction of the Madras High Court in Para 63(iv) that the B.P.O. Companies providing wide range of customized and integrated services and functions to its customers like word processing, secretarial support, transcription services, proof reading services, travel desk support services, etc. do not come within the purview of the Advocates Act, 1961 or the Bar Council of India Rules. We hold that mere label of such services cannot be treated as conclusive. If in pith and substance the services amount to practice of law, the provisions of the Advocates Act will apply and foreign law firms or foreign lawyers will not be allowed to do so.”

10. During discussions and deliberations involving the Law Society of England & Wales, governmental delegates from the United Kingdom, and the Secretary of the Department of Legal Affairs, Government of India, it was noted that Indian lawyers and law firms are permitted to establish themselves in England and Wales. They can practice Indian law, international law, and provide advice on English law. However, Indian lawyers are generally restricted from engaging in six reserved activities as outlined in the regulatory framework for foreign lawyers in the UK. These reserved activities include:(1) the right to audience/appearing before a court, (2) conducting litigation, (3) performing reserved instrument activities (such as drafting contracts for short leases, wills, agreements not intended to be executed as deeds, powers of attorney, or conveyancing of property), (4) probate activities, (5) administering oaths, and (6) performing notarial activities. The Bar Council/Bar Standards Board also allows a temporary call to the Bar for visiting advocates handling a specific case or series of cases before English courts.

According to UK delegates, Indian lawyers only need to register as Registered Foreign Lawyers (RFL) if they enter partnerships with solicitors of England and Wales but they primarily remain under the regulatory authority of their Home Bar, i.e., the Bar Council of India.

Additionally, there is an established pathway for Indian advocates to requalify in England and Wales through the Solicitors Qualification Examination (SQE). This process includes provisions to apply for eligible exemptions, offering a structured approach for Indian lawyers to gain qualification as solicitors in the UK.

The Bar Council of India may also think of introducing some Qualifying Exam for the purpose of eligibility and exemptions in similar manner, if it does not adversely effect the interest of Indian Lawyers/Law Firms and the Government of India.

It is also to be noted that the Bar Council of India has entered into an MOU on 05.06.2023 with Bar Council of England and Wales and Law Society of England and Wales for exchange programs of Lawyers between both Jurisdictions. This strategic partnership aims to facilitate exchange programs for lawyers operating under both jurisdictions. Through these exchange programs, legal professionals from India and the United Kingdom will have the opportunity to share knowledge, expertise, and best practices in various areas of law.

These initiatives are designed to enhance cross border understanding of legal systems, provide exposure to different judicial frameworks, and promote professional growth through collaboration and learning.

Such exchanges not only contribute to the professional development of individual lawyers but also strengthen the bonds between the legal communities of the two nations, paving the way for future cooperation and mutual benefits in the realm of international law and practice. This partnership emphasises the growing importance of global legal networks in an increasingly interconnected world.[भाग III—खण् ड 4] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 39 The Bar Council of India is also keen to progress on the idea of an MoU between the Bar Council of India, the Government of India (through Ministry of Law and Justice) on one part and the Law Society of England and Wales, Government of U.K., Bar Council of England and Wales, on the other.

The U.K. Delegates have also assured the Bar Council of India that the Authorities in U.K. are also keen and interested in the means of collaboration, cooperation and joint practice between Indian advocates and UK lawyers.

11. The time has come to make a decisive move on this issue. The Bar Council of India believes that opening up the legal profession in India to foreign lawyers, limited to the practice of foreign law, handling diverse international legal issues in non litigious matters, and participating in international arbitration cases will meaningfully contribute to the growth of the legal domain in India, ultimately benefiting Indian lawyers as well. It is noteworthy that the proficiency and standards of Indian lawyers are comparable to international standards, and the legal fraternity in India will be in advantageous if law practice in India is opened to foreign lawyers in a restricted, controlled, and regulated manner based on the principle of reciprocity. Such an approach would be mutually beneficial for both Indian and foreign lawyers, and these rules represent a step by the Bar Council of India in this direction.

These rules will also address concerns about encouraging Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India and positioning the country as a hub for International Commercial Arbitration.

Many countries have already allowed foreign lawyers to practice foreign law, handle diverse international legal issues, and engage in arbitration matters within their jurisdictions under restricted and well-defined conditions.

12. Taking a comprehensive view, the Bar Council of India has resolved to implement these Rules, enabling foreign lawyers and foreign law firms to practice foreign law, diverse international law, and international arbitration matters in India on the principle of reciprocity, in a well-defined, regulated, and controlled manner.

To achieve these objectives, the Bar Council of India has framed the Bar Council of India Rules for Registration of Foreign Lawyers and Foreign Law Firms in India, 2022, which have been duly amended in May 2025. These rules have been formulated under the rule-making powers conferred by clauses (d), (e),

(ic), (l), and (m) of sub-section (1) of section 7 and clauses (ah), (ag), (c), (e), and (h) of sub-section (1) of

section 49, read together with sections 24, 29, and 47 of the Advocates Act, 1961, and all other enabling provisions.

(iv) Indian advocates registered as foreign lawyers are subject to the regulatory oversight of the Bar Council of India in all aspects of their legal practice, whether in their capacity as Indian advocates or as foreign lawyers.

Indian-Foreign Law Firms intending to operate in the legal arena, particularly in non-litigious areas such as foreign law and international law consultancy, documentation, and arbitration, must adhere to specific principles.

Indian-Foreign Law Firms must register with the Bar Council of India under the applicable regulations.

Registration enables such firms to engage in legal practices in both Indian and foreign law, ensuring compliance with the framework governing the Indian legal sector. These firms are permitted to engage in non-litigious legal practices concerning foreign law, international law, and arbitration matters, as defined under Rule 8 and related regulations. Additionally, they retain the unrestricted ability to practice Indian law, including representing clients in litigation before Indian courts, tribunals, and other adjudicatory forums.

Within India, these firms must adhere to regulations ensuring the integrity and professionalism of the legal sector.

This supervision ensures compliance with ethical standards, professional conduct, and rules governing litigious and non-litigious practices.

Indian-Foreign Law Firms retain full rights to practice Indian law, including litigious activities such as appearing before courts, tribunals, and other adjudicatory forums, as conferred upon them by their registration under the Advocates Act, 1961.
