Role of In-house Counsels in Corporate sector in India has undergone a sea change in the last two decades. With the commencement of liberalization and globalization in early 1990s and with number of regulatory compliances increasing, role and scope of In-house Counsels in Corporate Sector has increased substantially. On the one hand they are valuable members of management teams, and on the other, they are also conscience keepers of their organizations, responsible for advising on compliance issues of regulations and statutes. This role has become increasingly sophisticated, although with liberalization, some restrictions have been removed while regulations have been made more stringent. The evolution of the regulatory framework has not yet stabilized in India. Against this backdrop, a group of In-house Counsels has decided to constitute a Special Forum to be known as the Indian Corporate Counsel Association(ICCA).

Society of India Law Firms (SILF) is the apex body of law firms in India. SILF was established in the year 2000 with the aim of protecting, safeguarding and promoting the interests of Law firms in India. The Bar Associations of the different courts in India represent the individual members of the legal profession in India. Law firms have not been historically represented in an organized and streamlined manner. A dire need was felt to form an association of this kind in view of various aspects of the practice of law that are peculiar to law firms in contradistinction to the role of individual practicing lawyers.
The members of SILF include the top most law firms in India. SILF strives to create an atmosphere that has enabled Indian law firms to match the technology, manpower skill and the infrastructure that most of the foreign law firms possesses. SILF serves as a forum for exchange of ideas and information as also a medium for interaction with the government, the judiciary and the bureaucracy. In a short period of eight years, SILF has achieved many laurels amongst them being recognized by IBA (International Bar Association), the UIA (Union International des Avocats) as well as by LAWASIA. Mr. Lalit Bhasin, Managing Partner, Bhasin & Co., is the President of SILF.

Indian women lawyers have come a long way from the days when Cornelia Sorabji stood as the lone woman lawyer among her male colleagues-at-bar. While the situation is vastly different in 2011 with more practicing women lawyers, however the number of women designated as "Senior Advocates," law firm partners and judges remains dismal. It is the obligation of all women lawyers to ensure that as many of us who want to remain in and succeed within the legal profession have the necessary tools and support to do so. Peer support is an essential ingredient to success at all stages of a career, perhaps most so at the top of the pyramid. Recognizing the need for creating a platform for women lawyers to come together, the "Society of Women Lawyers - India" was formed on May 14, 2010. Its objectives include:
- Strive to secure full and equal participation of women in the legal profession;
- Promote and assist women to obtain positions of influence and leadership within their workplace, the legal profession, the judiciary, and the community;
- Connect members for mutual advancement of their professional relationships and referrals; and
- Assist in advancement of the interests of women in law.
SOWL-India aims to connect women within different levels and areas of the profession for mutual benefit, as well as lobby to increase the visibility of women in the legal profession.
