The Alliance for Corporate Counsel and Company Secretaries (ACoS) calls for recognition of General Counsels under the Advocates Act at its 7th Annual Meet & International Summit.

Chief Guest of the event, Former Justice, Supreme Court of India, Mr. Krishna Murari, encourages different stakeholders to come together for a healthy and focussed discussion on this important subject.

13th October, 2024, New Delhi: There was a packed house at the 7th Annual Meet & International Summit hosted by the Alliance for Corporate Counsel and Company Secretaries (ACoS) at Hotel Eros, New Delhi. The theme of the Summit was Globalisation of Legal Services and over 140 distinguished legal professionals came together for knowledge exchange and deliberation on diverse subjects.

During the opening address, Mr. Parvesh Kheterpal, Founder, ACoS and General Counsel, AMPYR Energy, shared that the first meeting organised by ACoS was a humble gathering of 8-10 like minded people. He said, “It’s heartening to see our community grow from strength to strength every year as this collective vision and constant support is what makes ACoS special. In today’s age, in-house counsels play an integral role in navigating risks and market complexities to give commercially viable solutions to the business. Every day they interpret the law and design and implement strategy which requires great legal expertise and commercial awareness. Therefore, General Counsels should also be recognised as  an ‘Advocate’.”

In the Inaugural Address, the Chief Guest of the evening, Mr. Krishna Murari, Former Justice, Supreme Court of India said, “In the olden days the torch of justice was borne by practising lawyers and judges only, but General Counsels too now share this responsibility. When the Advocates Act was incorporated, the role of the General Counsel was not really carved out. The reality is that today they play multiple roles in the organisations they work with – risk managers, legal strategists, business enablers, compliance experts and even board members. How then is a GC any less of a practising lawyer than his counterpart across the table?”

Other legal luminaries who were invited as Special Guests were Mr. Manoj Singh,  S&A Law Offices and Mr. Talwant Singh, Former Justice, Delhi High Court.

During the day there were deliberations on different subjects including Making Bharat a Hub for International Arbitration-Dream to reality; Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 – Implications & Impact; Cross-Border M&A; and The ChatGPT Lawyer – Opportunities and Risks of Generative AI for the Legal Profession. The international speakers from Dubai and Singapore were part of the panel discussion.

The last session was a Roundtable on ‘New Age General Counsel and its Recognition as an Advocate’. 

Members of the newly announced ACoS Governing Council were also felicitated on stage.
These included Mr Sameet Gambhir, VP (Corp Law) and CS, DCM Shriram, Ms Lakshika Joshi, Global Legal Lead SFS & IP Officer – Capgemini Engineering, Mr Pathik Arora, General Counsel, Senvion India, Ms Sampadaa Narang, Experienced General Counsel,  Mr Govind Vijay, VP Legal – HT Media, Ms Ranju Goyal, General Counsel - Stanza Living, Mr Sachin Kalra, VP Legal – HT Media and Mr. Deepak Sharma, General Counsel, G4S. 

ACoS is committed to all in-house counsels for exchanging views, sharing knowledge and helping young lawyers who are new in the profession. It always endeavours to discuss important developments in the field of law, legislations, regulations and judicial pronouncements, Kheterpal added in his inaugural remarks.
