Solving your legal needs

www.legalpundits.com, the web site providing premier legal services to consumers of Indian law worldwide, along with customised and quality knowledge resources, documentation, advice and consultation, was launched by former Union Law and Judiciary Minister Ram Jethmalani, on October 25, 2000. The web site set up by Legalpundits International Services Private Limited (LIS) is envisaged to be `your friends in law'.

Legalpundits is the world's only one-stop legal solutions provider for Indian law, giving the user accurate information to browse through, answering his questions and finally guiding him on to lawyers who will take up his case in court. Its expert panel has over 50 legal professionals and retired Reserve Bank of India officials.

Legalpundits Chairperson and senior Supreme Court lawyer Haresh Jagtiani says, "Our aim is that legalpundits should be a permanent companion lawyer available to every person by his bedside or desktop, giving him a complete reference point on his legal situation howsoever mundane or serious it may be.''

Non Resident Indians and foreign investors in India are particularly important consumer segments that need legal knowledge and advice. "It is a daunting task for a lay person to engage the law in India. To have everything simplified and actionable, and to have a legal expert to answer any question without having to travel or incur unnecessary expense, will facilitate the process of investing and doing business in India,'' says Leeya Mehta, CEO of LIS.

There are five products that a user can find on legalpundits.com

The first, KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES, comprises two 'privileged access to knowledge' products: the Tax and Property Channel with numerous features including tax calculators for individuals, and the Law Business and Industry Channel for SMEs, corporations and investors.

The second product, ASK THE PUNDIT will answer questions and provide opinions on all areas of the law.

Legalpundits will facilitate online and offline consulting through its third product,the OFFLINE PUNDIT. It will refer to the consultancy services of India's leading experts as well as lawyers and accountants from Canada, US, Hong Kong, London and Middle East.

Through DRAFTING PUNDIT, the fourth product, you may download legal documents and the procedures for effecting them.

Ram Jethmalani says COMPLAIN TO THE PUNDIT, the fifth feature, was what drew him to LIS. Through Complain to the Pundit one can generate and mould opinion. It can be a forum for constructive criticism by experts on the judgements of superior courts.
