Opinion appears to be divided as to whether the unexpected dropping of H R Bhardwaj, from the post of India’s Law Minister, in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s new Cabinet, will have a detrimental impact on the pace of liberalization reform for India’s legal profession. In Legally India.com’s coverage , one Delhi lawyer, discussing the likely pace of change had Bhardwaj been invited into the new cabinet, commented: “If he had come in, we would probably be looking at a December opening.” The dichotomy of views was highlighted by Mulla & Mulla & Blunt & Caroe partner, Shardul Thacker: “This change will not in any manner hamper the legal liberalization of entry of foreign law firms.” According to Legally India.com , Bhardwaj’s replacement, Veerappa Moily is something of an unknown quantity. With the caveat that I am simply an interested observer, and a million miles away from being an expert on the issue, from a personal perspective, bar the recent passing of the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Act, little progress has been made over the course of the last decade. I discuss the LLP Act’s passing in my earlier blog piece, LPO and India News Roundup .

Despite valiant attempts within the LPO industry to downplay its significance, cost remains the ultimate driving force.
