Crash course to the new & improved Legally India

2018 Update: This page is very much out of date and some of the features described below may not be active anymore.

Even if you haven’t been the most regular reader you will have noticed that Legally India has been undergoing a major facelift for the past few weeks. Well, we’re mostly out of beta testing now, so please allow us to walk you through what’s new and what changes are deeper than skin deep and do share your feedback.

By way of introduction, our homepage (accessible anytime over the HOME button in the menu on top) is still the main place where most of our content lives, including exclusive news and features, besides regular aggregation of the most interesting news from elsewhere.

Our homepage also features the revamped latest legal job vacancies via our wildly successful Legally Jobs offering, the best of readers’ blogs, forum posts, our advanced and powerful social network and more.

Plus…

  4. Faster

    LI has been rebuilt from the ground up not just for faster loading speeds but we’ve tuned our interface so you can get to the information you want with the minimum of fuss.

    • Colour-coded sections (transactions are red, violet are firms, and so on, and so forth.)
    • Brief news items instantly scannable with a ‘quick read’
    • Longer articles can be opened in less loading time and without distracting comments by clicking the ‘Skim this’ button, and more…
  5. On-the-go

    We know an increasing number of you are accessing Legally India over tablets or smartphones, so we have made LI more mobile friendly than ever, no matter how tiny your mobile phone or large your monitor. Try hitting on your standard smartphone or tablet browser. The experience will be best on Apple, Android and other fairly new devices with 3G connections, allowing you to read, post comments, engage on LI forums and more.

    If your phone does not play nicely with LI, please leave a comment and we will try to improve compatibility.

  6. Be alert

    If you don’t want to miss any news, sign up to our free email newsletter that delivers the top LI headlines every evening. You can unsubscribe any time of course: click here to try it out.

    You can also now get our updates on Google+, as well as Facebook, Twitter, and Linked-in.

  7. Be informed

    LI’s LegallyPedia has more useful content than ever before, including detailed articles and information on many of the top Indian law firms, compiled and curated by the very talented Legally India intern Kritika Khanijo.

Legally India has come a long way in almost four years and we hope you will continue enjoying the site and finding it useful.

Please do continue making suggestions and criticism that can help us improve. Ultimately, without you - the reader - there is no Legally India, so thank you all for your support and enthusiasm.

We hope to keep you updated more frequently in future about what is happening at our end.

Best wishes,

Team LI

Thanks Associate, thanks Anon.

India Corporate Law is already on the list (third tab).

Initial Private Opinion is a fantastic blog but I think it is not really updated regularly enough to warrant a live feed?

Please 'Recommend' or 'Object' to my comment here to express support for adding or not adding IPO blog...

It takes a great deal of non stop hard word, dedication and self believe to start and maintain something like this. Best of luck.

Cheers!

Law and Other Things blog ( http://lawandotherthings.blogspot.in/ ) is also great but not updated very often. Please do downvote or upvote my comment if you want to see it / not see it in our External Links list.
