RSGI x PwC PRESENT:

Resight India: Global Perspectives on the Transformation of the Indian Legal Market

About: RSGI is partnering with PwC India to bring together leaders of the commercial Indian legal market for a unique event to discuss and strategise around two key issues: technological and geopolitical change. Both are opportunities and threats for legal leaders globally but have different meanings in the Indian legal market.

RSGI, the leading intelligence and advisory firm for the global legal market, will be releasing its year-long study into the Indian legal market, which looks at the development of Indian law firms, the activities of foreign law firms and the purchasing patterns and preferences of clients. This presentation will form the backdrop to two panel conversations led by top experts that explore how Indian legal leaders should strategically prioritise in this fast-moving world.
