Apply to Join Our Advocate Network

For advocates enrolled with any State Bar Council in India. Choose your State, your district and the courts you actually appear before — district courts, High Court, Supreme Court and the tribunals. No listing fee, no subscription, no commission. Your profile carries only the particulars the Bar Council Rules permit, and goes live after we verify your enrolment.

Your details Required

The name must match your Certificate of Enrolment. The mobile number is how you will track this application, so please give the one you actually use.

Optional — leave it on "Advocate" if unsure.
Needed to track the application. Never shown to anyone except a client who asks for you by name.
Optional. Your login details are emailed here once approved.

Enrolment — we verify this before publishing Required

One enrolment number can hold only one live profile. This protects you: nobody else can put up a profile in your name while yours is on record.

Exactly as printed on your Certificate of Enrolment (Sanad).
Picked for you when you choose your State below — change it if it differs.
Optional — it is a permitted particular and adds credibility.

Where you practise State & district required

Choose your State first. The district list, the courts and your State Bar Council all fill in from there — every State and Union Territory in India is covered.

Can't see your district? Pick the nearest one and tell us in the box at the end — we will correct it before the profile goes live.
Optional, but an address is a permitted particular and helps local search a great deal.

Courts and forums you appear before At least one

This list is built from the district you selected — its district courts and tribunals, your High Court and its benches, the State-level forums, and the Supreme Court and national tribunals. Tick everything you actually appear before. Scroll through the whole list, or type to search it.

0 selected Clear
Select your State and district above and the courts will appear here.

What kind of matters do you handle? At least one

Everything that comes before a court in India is in this list, grouped by subject. Scroll right through it and tick all that apply — the more you tick, the more kinds of client find you. Or type in the search box: "bail", "498A", "cheque", "GST", "custody".

Your profile All optional

None of this is compulsory — the form will go through without it. But a profile with a photograph, qualifications and a plain description of your practice is read far more often, and ranks better on Google.

A plain professional photograph, JPG / PNG / WEBP, up to 5 MB. Not compulsory — if you would rather send it on WhatsApp later, leave this blank and we will ask for it.
A permitted particular under the Bar Council Schedule.
Clients search by this more than you would expect.
Your fee is never shown on the website. The Bar Council Rules do not permit an advocate's fee to be published or compared online, so we keep it on file only, and you settle it with the client yourself on the first call.
This becomes the main text of your profile page. Write it as you would describe your practice to a colleague — plainly and factually. 150–250 words reads best.

Declarations All three required

Three things to confirm. The full text of each one, and the twelve-point undertaking that goes with them, is on a page of its own — so this form stays a form. Read the declarations and undertaking in full →

What I am confirming
  • Enrolment and accuracy. I am enrolled with a State Bar Council under the Advocates Act, 1961, my enrolment is valid and subsisting, and every particular above — name, enrolment number, Bar Council, year, qualifications, practice areas and courts — is true to my own knowledge. I will tell the office at once if that changes.
  • No money passes, either way. No listing fee, no subscription, no commission. I pay Legal Space Services nothing and it pays me nothing, and it takes no share of my professional fee, which I settle with the client directly.
  • Publication, at my own request. I ask for these particulars to be published. Only the particulars the Bar Council permits are published — never my fee, never a rating or ranking, never a claim of superiority. The list is alphabetical.
  • Removal is mine to ask for. I may withdraw at any time and the listing comes down the same working day, without giving a reason.

This is the short form. The full text of all twelve points is on the Advocate Declarations page, and the rules it rests on are set out in the Bar Council Compliance Statement.

Read before you tick — Listing Policy · Bar Council Compliance · Terms for Advocates · All twelve declarations

Nothing is charged at any stage. You will get an Application Number on the next screen — keep it, it is how you track the application.

Who can apply to be listed as an advocate here?Any advocate enrolled with any State Bar Council in India, practising anywhere in the country. The application covers all 28 States and 8 Union Territories, every district in each of them, and the courts and forums in each district — the District and Sessions Court, Family Court, MACT, consumer commissions, Labour Court, the special courts, the High Court and its benches, the State-level authorities, and the Supreme Court of India together with NCLT, NCLAT, NGT, CAT, DRT, ITAT, CESTAT, SAT, AFT and the other national tribunals. There is no fee at any stage, in either direction, and the profile carries only the particulars the Bar Council of India permits.
Can an advocate be listed on this website, and what does it cost?Yes. Any advocate enrolled with any State Bar Council in India may apply to be listed with Legal Space Services, and it costs nothing at any stage — there is no listing fee, no subscription, no commission, no referral payment and no charge to stay listed or to be taken down. Nothing is paid in the other direction either: Legal Space Services takes no share of any professional fee and no advocate pays it anything. The entry carries only the particulars the Bar Council of India permits on an advocate's web presence — name, address, telephone and email, enrolment number, date of enrolment, State Bar Council, Bar Association, qualifications and areas of practice — and nothing else. There is no rating, no review, no ranking, no "best" or "top" wording, no success rate and no fee anywhere on the directory; results are listed alphabetically. The application is verified against the State Bar Council record before anything is published, one enrolment number can hold only one live profile, and an advocate can have the entry amended or removed the same day by writing or calling.

Why it is built this way

What you are agreeing to, and what you are not

The usual worryHow this is set up
“Will this be treated as advertising under Rule 36?” The entry is a factual directory listing published at your own written request, carrying only the particulars in the Bar Council of India’s own Schedule under Rule 36 (Council Resolution No. 50 of 2008). No solicitation language, no claim of quality, no testimonial.
“Will my fee be shown or compared?” No fee of any advocate appears anywhere on this website — not on a card, not in a filter, not in a sort, not in a search result. There is no “lowest fee” option, because there is no fee to sort by.
“Will I be rated, ranked or put below someone who paid?” There is no rating, no review, no star, no ranking and no paid or featured placement. Results are listed alphabetically. There is nothing to buy, so there is nothing to lose by not buying it.
“Does any money change hands?” None, in either direction. Rule 2 of Section II, Chapter II, Part VI of the Bar Council of India Rules forbids an advocate from sharing remuneration with a person who is not an advocate, so the system is built so that money never moves between us at all.
“Who does the client actually engage?” You, directly. Legal Space Services is a documentation and filing company; it does not practise law, gives no legal advice, takes no instructions on your behalf and is not a party to your engagement. The advice, the appearance, the conduct of the matter and the result are yours.
“Can someone put up a profile in my name?” No. One enrolment number holds one live profile, and the number is checked against the State Bar Council record before anything is published.
“What if I change my mind?” Write or call and the entry comes down the same day, without our asking why. No contract, no notice period, no exit fee.
How long does it take, and how do I follow the application?Usually one to three working days. The moment you submit the form an Application Number beginning LSS-ADV appears on screen — keep it. Put that number, or your Bar enrolment number, together with the mobile number you applied with into the Track page and you will see which of the five stages the application has reached: received, under scrutiny, query raised, enrolment verified, and approved and published. Each stage carries the date and time it was actually completed. If we need a document — usually the Certificate of Enrolment — the query appears there with a box to reply and upload it, so nothing has to go by WhatsApp and nothing gets lost. We call rather than reject silently. No login or password is needed to track, and nothing is charged at any stage.
What happens after the entry is published?A login is created and sent to you, so you can keep your own particulars up to date without asking anyone. A person who finds your entry reads the factual particulars and contacts you directly; Legal Space Services does not sit in the middle of that conversation, does not take instructions for you and does not know what you charge. If the entry needs correcting, or you want it taken down, the advocate help desk on this website deals with only that, and a request to remove an entry is acted on the same day. Your enrolment number becomes free to use again the moment the entry comes down.

Before you apply, or after

For Advocates

Questions before you apply

Is there any fee to be listed as an advocate?
No — there is no listing fee, no subscription, no commission and no referral payment, in either direction. No advocate pays Legal Space Services anything of any kind, and Legal Space Services takes no share of any professional fee. Bar Council of India Rules, Part VI, Chapter II, Section II, Rule 2 forbids an advocate from sharing remuneration with a person who is not an advocate, so the system is built so that money never moves between us at all.
Who can apply?
Any advocate enrolled with any State Bar Council in India, practising anywhere in the country. The form covers all 28 States and 8 Union Territories, every district, and the courts, tribunals and forums in each — from a district court to the Supreme Court of India, NCLT, NGT, CAT, DRT, ITAT and the consumer commissions.
What information will appear on my profile?
Only what the Bar Council of India Rules permit on an advocate's web presence — your name, address, telephone and email, enrolment number, date of enrolment, the State Bar Council you are enrolled with, Bar Association, qualifications and areas of practice. There are no ratings, no reviews, no testimonials, no rankings and no "best lawyer" claims anywhere on this website, and your professional fee is never published.
How long does approval take, and how do I check the status?
Usually one to three working days. The moment you submit, you get an Application Number beginning LSS-ADV. Put that number, or your enrolment number, together with your mobile number into the Track page and you will see exactly where the application has reached, any query we have raised, and a box to reply and upload a document.
Can two people apply on the same enrolment number?
No. One enrolment number can hold only one live application or profile at a time. If an application already exists on that number, the form will not create a second one — it will tell you an application is already on record. Only when that profile is removed or closed does the number become free again.
Which fields are compulsory?
Only your name, mobile number, enrolment number, State Bar Council, State and district, at least one practice area and at least one court, plus the three declarations. Everything else — email, photograph, office address, Bar Association, qualifications, languages and the description of your practice — is optional, and the form will go through without them. A fuller profile does rank better in search, so we recommend filling what you can.
Can I edit or remove my profile later?
Yes. Once approved you get a login of your own and can update your details. You can also write or call and the profile will be amended or taken down the same day, without our asking for a reason.
Does listing here amount to advertising under Rule 36?
The profile is designed to stay within what the Rules permit: factual particulars from the Bar Council of India's own Schedule under Rule 36, published at your own request and with your written consent, with no solicitation language, no claim of quality and no client testimonial. You should nonetheless satisfy yourself independently, and we remove a profile immediately on request.

Prefer to speak first?

Call us and we will explain exactly what appears on the profile and what does not, before you fill anything in.
