At IsourceIndia we have recognized the need to ensure the continued high standards of the firm in its opinions and advice. With the availability of sophisticated computer assisted legal research and the growing complexity of law and legislation, we established a research department some years ago.

Scope of Services

	Preparation of legal opinions for all practice areas
	Preparation of briefs and facts at all levels of courts.
	Research services provided directly to clients, on request.
	Preparation of client education and updates on key legal   issues.
	Preparation of detailed research memoranda on all areas of   law.

The principal role of the research department is to assist other departments within the firm, to ensure that all lawyers have available to them prompt, up-to-date and thorough briefings on any point of law, are conversant with new or proposed legislation, and recent trends, decided cases and are made aware of current developments in the law. The research department also provides information on a wide range of subjects of a non-legal nature of interest to practioners and clients, from medical research to accounting principles to principles of engineering and chemistry.

IsourceIndia's research lawyers provide a wide range of services, from such basic services as case updates and judicially considered words and phrases to extensive opinion letters and briefs of argument for administrative tribunals and trial and appellate courts.

In addition to serving the needs of the lawyers within the firm, legal research services are also made available to clients of the firm. Few, if any, corporate law departments have full-time research lawyers who possess the skills and knowledge of the full-time research practioners. Access to these services provides an additional benefit to clients.
