If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of this Website.


1. Bar Council of India Compliance

The Bar Council of India strictly prohibits advocates from soliciting work, advertising, or making any representation that could be construed as a solicitation. In compliance with the Bar Council of India Rules (Part VI, Chapter II, Rules 36 and 38), this Website has been created solely for the purpose of providing general information to the public about the Firm and its advocates.

An attorney-client relationship is only established through a formal written engagement letter signed by both parties following a comprehensive assessment of the matter, clearance of any conflicts of interest, and mutual agreement on the scope of representation and fees.

Accordingly, information you share with us through this Website before the formal establishment of an attorney-client relationship may not be protected by attorney-client privilege under applicable Indian law.
