To fully comprehend our clients' businesses and the unique compliance requirements, we work closely with them. In the truest meaning of the word, the world is no longer "free." We now live in a more regulated society, whether it be due to protectionism, terrorism threats, trade, or simple assertions of power. The choice to forbear is entailed in the option to regulate. However, even the latter gives the regulator the authority to make such a choice. Unless, of course, the policy is blatantly arbitrary, absurd, or impractical, courts almost always aim to meddle with such "policy" decisions.In such a setting, the government's many ministries have suddenly increased their use of regulatory authority over the last four to five years. The TRAI, DOT, SEBI, DIPP, RBI, MIB, and MeITY have all been active in keeping businesses and people equally engaged, both throughout the consultation process and as the recipients of the immediate effects of such regulation-forbearance.The AL practise is advantageously positioned due to its location in the Capital, the hub of all policy-regulatory action, as well as the fact that it has handled both advice and litigation work in the regulatory area, spanning industries and ministries. Our attorneys serve as the primary advisors to eminent think tanks, are frequently consulted for expert opinions by periodicals and the electronic media on issues of current importance, and have served on committees and working groups that have provided advice to and assistance to government departments on important and cutting-edge issues.
