Herbert Smith hit by associates' racism claims

Indian lawyers and globalising firms Such training should be mandatory for all lawyers at all stages and all backgrounds. Integration must go both ways. Both new Indian and other foreign recruits as well as their British colleagues should take part in such courses - and learn from each other. The most effective globalising firms will be those that can accept and work within and across cultural diversities. Indian lawyers at HB have raised an important issue that would be foolish to sweep under the carpet. Training of this sort will be especially critical for British lawyers if they enter the Indian market in future. Indian clients will certainly not appreciate - nor tolerate - ignorance of their norms and approaches to doing business.
