Bar Council of India

Rule 36 of Chapter II of Part VI of the Bar Council of India Rules, made under the Advocates Act, 1961, prohibits an advocate from soliciting work or advertising, whether directly or indirectly. A proviso added in 2008 permits an advocate to publish limited information on a website — name, address, contact details, professional and academic qualifications, and areas of practice — provided the information furnished is true. The Bar Council of India restated and reinforced this position in March 2025.

This website exists within those limits. It is not an advertisement, and it is not a solicitation of work: it carries information about this practice for people who have chosen to look for it. Every visitor is asked to confirm that before the site is shown, and that confirmation is recorded in the visitor's own browser.

The information published on this website is true and correct to the best of our knowledge and belief. Standing Lawyers is the sole proprietorship of an advocate enrolled with a State Bar Council, and is subject to the Advocates Act, 1961 and the rules made under it, including the Bar Council of India's standards of professional conduct and etiquette.

What you confirmed

By entering this website you confirmed that there has been no advertisement, personal communication, solicitation, invitation or inducement of any kind from us or anyone on our behalf to solicit work through it; that you are here of your own accord and wish to know more about us for your own information and use; that anything you read or download is at your own volition and is provided only at your specific request; that nothing here is legal advice and we accept no liability for any action you take in reliance on it; that no lawyer–client relationship arises from your reading this site or writing to us through it; that you will take independent advice on any matter where you need legal assistance; and that the contents of this website are our intellectual property.

Not legal advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice. Law changes, and its application depends entirely on the facts of a particular situation. Material here may be out of date or inapplicable to you. Do not act, or decline to act, on the basis of this website without taking advice on your own circumstances.

No lawyer–client relationship

Reading this site, downloading material from it, or sending us a message through it does not make you our client and does not create a lawyer–client relationship. That relationship begins only when we have completed conflict checks and confirmed an engagement with you in writing.

No guarantee of outcomes

Nothing here should be read as a promise or prediction about the result of any matter. Past matters do not indicate future outcomes, and no lawyer can guarantee a particular result.

Confidential information

Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through this website. Because no engagement exists yet, material sent to us may not attract the protection you would expect, and we may already be acting for another party. Send us a short message and we will suggest a secure way to share the detail.

No obligation to act

Nothing here is intended to create, and it does not create, any obligation on us to act for you. We may already be acting for another party, and we decline matters where a conflict exists or where a retainer is not the right arrangement.
