Like most other industry in the world, the Indian legal environment is also undergoing a paradigm shift. While glancing at the industry scenario, it apparently seems that recovery of debt was one of the major challenges of doing business in India. The experts of the industry say that the enactment of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 brought about a revolutionary change in the proceedings of debt recovery in the nation. Soon, the new law replaced the time consuming legal proceeding with a new process which is bound by a fixed time. The industry pioneers have informed that this will have a ripple effect on other legal regimes in the country and will gradually be evolving into a speedy justice delivery system.
One such leading organization which is contributing extraordinarily in the renaissance of the fast-changing Indian legal industry is IndiaLaw LLP (IL), a PAN India law firm, which stands as a one-roof solution to people or organizations seeking for support in legal affairs from courtroom litigations to boardroom negotiations.
