CC sends ambassador to Indian ally AZB

The arrangement reported above certainly does not literally violate the provisions of the Advocates Act or the Bar Council Regulations. Nonetheless, if during the course of the secondment Wyman is found to practice the profession of law then he may attract action under the law. Therefore, everything would depend upon the interpretation of the term - "practice of law". However, considering the immense clout enjoyed by AZB and similar firms it is unlikely that any action would be taken. In fair terms, the above arrangement should not be attacked since at the least it affords an opportunity to the AZB lawyers to learn and understand the way a CC partner approaches the practice of law.
