Independent Legal Oversight
Legal Advisory Board
RepuLex's Legal Advisory Board comprises senior Indian advocates who provide independent guidance on IT Act 2000 applicability, defamation strategy, and Intermediary Guidelines Rules 2021 compliance.
The Role
The Legal Advisory Board is structurally independent from RepuLex's operational legal team. Board members do not handle day-to-day case work. Instead, they review strategy, advise on novel legal questions, and provide oversight on the firm's application of Indian IT and defamation law.
This separation is deliberate. Operational matters are handled by RepuLex's in-house legal team and network of associated counsels. The Advisory Board exists to ensure that the firm's legal positions remain current, defensible, and aligned with evolving jurisprudence.
