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.

Persons holding a law degree or other higher legal qualifications have ample employment opportunities in the private as well as public sector. Therefore, those with a career as a Shirestedar have a bright future and opportunities are only going to rise in coming time.
