Petition shows tensions between legal regulators and firms pursuing international affiliations

- Priyanka Gawande

Dentons Link Legal has taken legal action against the Bar Council of India (BCI), challenging its recent public statement and show-cause notice that denounced the firm's alliance with global legal giant Dentons.

The petition, filed before the Delhi High Court, marks a significant escalation in tensions between Indian legal regulators and firms pursuing international affiliations.

"The impugned show cause notice and statement are without jurisdiction, a violation of natural justice, and a violation of the petitioners' fundamental rights," Dentons Link Legal argued on Thursday.

The BCI had alleged that the Dentons-Link Legal alliance was "unauthorized and impermissible" under its 2023 rules governing foreign law firms. It further stated that such partnerships require prior approval under the Bar Council of India Rules for Registration and Regulation of Foreign Lawyers and Foreign Law Firms in India.
