Discussion: Manuj Bhardwaj, the Executive Secretary of the Indian National Association of Legal Professionals, is the focus of this Q&A session.
The Indian National Association of Legal Professionals (INALP) is making significant strides in connecting Indian legal professionals to the global stage. This is achieved through a series of key international initiatives and successful partnerships.
One such initiative is the International Legal Conference 2025, jointly organized by INALP and the Society of Excellence & Professionalism Council (SEPC). This conference brought together eminent legal minds and industry leaders from across the globe, providing a notable platform for Indian legal professionals to engage with their global counterparts, share expertise, and discuss emerging trends in law internationally.
This collaboration with SEPC underscores INALP's commitment to fostering multinational dialogue and professional exchange between Indian legal experts and their global peers, raising the international profile and connectivity of Indian legal professionals.
Beyond the International Legal Conference 2025, INALP is actively involved in promoting international cooperation and professional networking opportunities for the Indian legal community.
INALP's efforts are geared towards addressing the urgent need for upskilling in emerging areas such as data privacy, AI, and cyber law for Indian legal professionals. To this end, INALP offers short and long-duration training programs to equip lawyers with the necessary knowledge and foresight.
Moreover, INALP's dedicated committees on data privacy, AI, and cyber law are collaborating with global experts, academics, and practitioners to develop policy papers, research initiatives, and position documents.
In response to the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Bill, 2024, INALP has held stakeholder consultations, roundtables, and capacity-building programs aimed at equipping legal professionals to navigate the upcoming changes. INALP is a strong proponent of making India a credible international arbitration hub, advocating for institutional arbitration and the evolution of arbitration in India with sophisticated laws, international exposure, and world-class expertise.
Additionally, INALP is committed to continuous legal education and peer-to-peer learning in the context of rapid technological change. This commitment is reflected in the work of its committees, which serve as a catalyst for integrating Indian legal services into the global market, and in improving dispute resolution efficiency.
In conclusion, INALP's initiatives and partnerships demonstrate a dedication to fostering a global network of legal professionals, upskilling Indian legal professionals in emerging areas, and advocating for India as a credible international arbitration hub.
