Turning expertise into growth – Why the Indian legal industry requires a more scientific approach to grow

The legal industry landscape in India is changing rapidly. As the competition intensifies and firms grow, there is a dire need to build a strong practice that usually goes beyond delivering legal expertise. Now is the time for lawyers and law firms to think strategically about how they’re increasing their visibility and building trust among clients – all within the realm of the regulation that restricts lawyers from marketing and advertising..Recognising this need, Commwiser is delighted to present the Practice Development Summit 2025 — a first-of-a-kind summit in India, dedicated to the “other side of the law” tailored specifically for law firms, partners, business development (BD) professionals and communication teams. The summit works as a hub for newer ideas and a fresh approach, and works as a training ground for lawyers..The legal landscape in India has over the years, witnessed client expectations rapidly evolving, with a digital presence increasingly driving reputations.
