Market Trend of the Legal Industry in India
India's legal services industry is growing at a rate of about 40% per annum. India?s legal profession is the world?s second largest, with more than 600,000 lawyers in more than 500 legal practices nationwide. In 2010, the total value of the Indian legal market was estimated to be approximately US$ 1.25 billion. Indian law firms are looking beyond national borders, taking part in major international deals and working out arrangements for sustained work through referral and best-friend arrangements with international law firms.
At one time it was easy for the music industry and artists to keep control of their intellectual property. Records were sold and royalties could be taken from a share in that sale. Radio broadcasts were easy to monitor and royalties were received whenever a certain track was aired. As technology has progressed, legal questions have been raised as to how to enforce copyright laws. MP3 is a reasonably quick and simple way to receive music tracks in an electronic format and what worries the music industry is that it has no control over it whatsoever. While this situation is bad enough for the music industry, it has been made worse by the arrival of software which facilitates the easy exchange of music files between the software's users. Therefore, those with a career as Copyright Clerks have a bright future, and opportunities are only going to rise in coming time.
