The legal services market in India is slated to grow at 1% annually. The sector can be divided into litigation, non-litigation, and advisory services. Key trends include the entry of foreign law firms, growth of online legal services, and legal process outsourcing emerging as a viable opportunity. Drivers of growth include demand from corporate entities, services related to products, and services for accidents. Challenges include a shortage of lawyers and a slow judicial system.
