Globalization of Legal Services and Regulatory Reforms cover

This book brings out the need to organize the Indian legal sector for greater competition against the backdrop of the changing economic realities in India and around the globe.

It argues that the primary issue facing this sector is not just that of liberalization and providing access to foreign firms, but also the weaknesses and regulatory gaps that affect its global competitiveness. Highlighting the prevailing dynamics, the book focuses on the regulatory challenges and perceptions surrounding the legal sector’s liberalization in a developing economy such as India.

A pathbreaking study of the legal services industry in India, which addresses the central policy question: what needs to be done to make this sector globally competitive? A must-read for anyone interested in the future of India’s legal services sector.

-- Shankar Acharya * Former Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India *

Trade in services is an increasingly important component of world trade. Careful examination of its potential and the restrictions imposed on it are essential. This study of legal services is an important contribution that will serve as a model for studies of other tradeable services.

-- Jagdish Bhagwati

[This book] fills a much needed analytical space in the discussion of Indian services sectors, especially professional services…a comprehensive treatment that investigates the fundamental linkages of domestic regulation, domestic industry conditions, institutional features and the political economy and its relation to trade policy and trade negotiations was missing.
