Why lawyers & advocates in Chennai need legal-first ORM.
Advocates understand the law — but being the subject of false online content requires aggressive legal action, not marketing. RepuLex runs the removal; every regulated legal step is taken by advocates at its partner law firm.
Puts platforms hosting defamatory content about lawyers & advocates on formal notice through the IT Rules 2021 grievance process. A court order, where one is obtained, must be acted on within three hours under Rule 3(1)(d).
False allegations against lawyers & advocates can amount to criminal defamation under BNS 2023 s.356 (formerly IPC 499/500), a non-cognisable offence prosecuted on a complaint by the person defamed before a Judicial Magistrate First Class.

Legal notices backed by court orders or IT Act proceedings are submitted to Google for permanent de-indexing. Content is removed from search results, not just suppressed.
Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA. Chennai lawyers & advocates clients can proceed with complete confidentiality.
