What the chamber accepts
Instructions are accepted from clients resident outside India and from foreign lawyers and law firms who require counsel in India.
Where a client cannot travel, the matter is ordinarily conducted on a power of attorney executed before the Indian Mission in the country of residence, or executed locally and apostilled under the Hague Convention. The chamber advises on which route the particular court will accept before the document is executed, which avoids the common difficulty of a power of attorney being returned.
Consultations are held by video conference at a time chosen for the client's zone. Foreign counsel instructing the chamber receive a written note on the Indian law position and the procedural steps, in a form usable in their own advice to the lay client.
