Economic Laws Practice
 

Economic Laws Practice is a firm comprising of individual lawyers and consultants, most of who have been educated, qualified and worked in foreign jurisdictions.

The vision of the principals is to provide world-class legal solutions and advice in the areas of international trade, telecom and WTO related matters. As India rapidly integrates into the global economy with the advent of WTO, there is a two fold effect: first, Indian Companies need to compete in other jurisdictions and second, the impact on foreign companies operating within India. Strategic Law Group's areas of growth reflect this realization - International Trade with special reference to WTO, Telecom and Technology Law. In the last one year the client base has grown rapidly in recognition of our abilities and focus. Our clients include Hindustan Lever, ONGC, Marubeni, Mitsubishi Rayon, Reliance Industries Ltd., Rhone Poulenc, Bank of Rajasthan, ICICI, K.O. Needles, Toyobo, Hindustan Sanitaryware, The Times of India Group, Primus Telecommunications, Net Pilgrim, XLN'ce Software and several other leading companies. We offer the whole gamut of legal services to our clients from Tribunals to the Supreme Court in India. Since some of our lawyers/consultants are qualified or have considerable exposure in foreign jurisdictions such as the U.S. and E.U., the firm does significant work for clients abroad. We also work very closely with international law firms to service the needs of our India based clients.
