Dentons Link Legal Accuses BCI of Defamation, Challenges Foreign Law Firm Rules

Dentons Link Legal has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court accusing the Bar Council of India (BCI) of defamation and challenging its recent rules restricting foreign law firms.

The dispute arose after the BCI alleged that Dentons Link Legal violated regulations by operating with a foreign brand affiliation.

The law firm contends that the BCI’s public statements damaged its reputation and that the rules are arbitrary, violating constitutional rights to trade and profession.
