About us
The General Counsels’ Association of India (GCAI) is a body formed, managed and spearheaded by in-house legal counsel with a vision to create a distinct professional identity for General Counsels and institutionalise the in–house legal function as a separate specialised stream of legal practice. GCAI aims to be the premier association representing the interests of in-house legal counsel who are qualified lawyers with a law degree recognised by the Bar Council of India. It will work to ensure the statutory recognition of the in-house legal profession, enhance awareness in the industry about the role and contributions of GCs, advance the highest ethical standards in their functioning and thereby strengthen their participation in the justice delivery system. This platform will also create opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking, training and mentorship, with a keen focus on supporting young in-house lawyers and law students.

The landscape of legal careers in India is evolving rapidly. Many young lawyers are reassessing the dominance of large law firms and exploring new pathways that promise impact, purpose, and sustainability. Recent trends show that Indian law firms have seen departure rates of nearly 33%, as more lawyers explore dynamic roles across smaller firms and in-house positions. In-house legal careers now offer strong growth, with early professionals earning around ₹10 lakhs and senior General Counsels averaging ₹1.5 crore annually. Through YUKTI, GCAI aims to guide this transformation, creating structured mentorship, training, and skilling pathways that prepare young legal professionals for India’s evolving future. #GCAI #YUKTI #Mentorship #Internship #LegalCareers #YoungLawyers

India's legal sector is currently valued at $2.5 billion, and is expected to rise to $3.4 billion by 2030. As the industry grows, more students are seeking entry, with a record high 2.3 lakh sitting for the All-India Bar Exam (AIBE) in 2024, nearly doubling the previous year's total. As competition increases and professional standards change, the next generation of legal professionals must be given proper guidance. YUKTI empowers students through structured internships, combining practical exposure with mentorship from industry veterans, giving them the tools they need to navigate the legal landscape. #GCAI #YUKTI #FutureOfLaw #LawGraduates
