About
The practice
Juris Eagle is a law practice under the laws of India, with offices in Bengaluru, Mumbai and New Delhi. It works across advisory, arbitration and litigation. Every Counsel at Juris Eagle is enrolled with a State Bar Council under the Advocates Act, 1961 and is entitled to practise before courts and tribunals throughout India. It is instructed by businesses in India and by those coming to India from elsewhere, by governments and regulators on the rules they are settling, and by Indians who live outside India on matters that remain here.
What the practice covers
The work is corporate, regulatory and contentious, advised and argued by the same Counsel. Instructions come from Indian and international businesses, financial institutions, promoters, boards and individuals. Advisory and representation are run together so that the position taken in a document and the position taken before a forum are the same position.

The Counsel of the firm appear before the following forums.
Instructions from outside India
Three kinds of question reach the practice from outside the country. Each is a question of Indian law asked by someone who is not in India, and each rests on a different set of instruments.
- Capital coming into India
- A business incorporated outside India that intends to manufacture, acquire, lend or hold here has to choose a vehicle, an investment route and a set of filings before it commits. The questions are the entry vehicle under the foreign exchange rules, the sectoral position under the Consolidated FDI Policy, and the reporting, tax and labour obligations that follow the money in.
- Governments and regulators
- Draft rules, consultation papers and Bills are settled before they bind anyone. Work at that stage is the drafting of representations and comments, the analysis that supports them, and submissions to the committees and authorities that receive them, made on the record, on instructions, in the name of the party making them.
- Indians outside India
- Property held in India, succession across two legal systems, a power of attorney executed abroad, residence and its tax consequences, and proceedings between family members where one of them lives elsewhere. The law that governs each of these is Indian; the person it governs is not here.
How a matter is run
- Scope in writing
- A matter begins with a written scope: what is to be done, by when, and who does it. Work outside that scope is agreed in writing before it starts.
- Advice before the position hardens
- The questions that decide a matter are usually settled before a notice is issued or a document is signed. The practice takes instructions at that stage and states the options, the trade-offs and the recommended course in plain English.
- Regulatory position stated with the advice
- Advice states the provision it rests on and the compliance the course of action carries, so that the record of what was advised and why is available afterwards.
- Confidentiality
- Communications in a matter are held under the obligations that apply to an advocate under the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules, and under the firm's own information-handling practice.
- A record at the close
- A matter closes with the deliverables, the advice rendered and the next steps recorded in writing.
