Frequently Asked Questions for International Clients
Do I need to travel to India for my court case?
Not always. For many procedural matters, your lawyer can appear on your behalf. Your physical presence may only be required for specific, critical stages like giving evidence. We always work to minimize the need for international travel.
How can I sign legal documents from abroad?
Documents like a Power of Attorney (Vakalatnama) can be signed and authenticated at the nearest Indian Embassy or Consulate in your country. We will guide you through this entire process.
