Get empanelled with VirtualVakil

Join as a partner and provide your services. Advocates and law firms take on matters as associate advocates; settlement and legal-support companies join as support partners.

Who can join

Two ways to partner

Apply as the advocate who appears, or as the company that supports the work. Both are verified before any brief is sent.

Advocate or law firm

Individual advocates and law firms who will appear in the matter as associate advocates.

You will need

  • Enrolment with a State Bar Council, with the enrolment number
  • A valid Certificate of Practice (COP)
  • A copy of the enrolment certificate or Bar Council ID card for each advocate named
  • Your practice areas (cyber, traffic, criminal, civil) and the states in which you practise
  • Payout details

Settlement or legal-support company

Companies that handle documentation, filing coordination and follow-up. Any appearance is made by an enrolled advocate.

You will need

  • PAN of the company or proprietor
  • Contact person, office address and city
  • Payout details for the business account
  • The services you handle and the states and union territories you serve
How it works

From brief to payout

Every matter follows the same five steps, with the evidence checked before money moves.

Illustrative example. Real briefs carry the same fields.
  1. You receive a masked case brief

    A WhatsApp message with a private link shows the type of matter, the state, the forum, the current stage and the amount involved. Briefs reach only partners whose practice areas and states match. The customer's identity is not shared before the award.

  2. You place a sealed bid within 24 hours

    Quote your professional fee and any official costs you expect, such as fines or court fees. Bids are sealed, are not visible to other partners and are binding if awarded. The window may close earlier once enough bids arrive.

  3. The lowest total wins, after admin review

    VirtualVakil reviews every award. A lower total is preferred but does not guarantee the award. Partners who are not selected are informed, and their bids stay confidential.

  4. You fulfil the matter with evidence

    The full case details open only for the awarded partner. Upload the client-signed vakalatnama or an authorisation letter before filing; at each stage, upload the filing, order or award and any official payment receipts.

  5. Your payout is released after verification

    VirtualVakil verifies the documents, then releases the official costs and your professional fee. Each matter shows its payout status: held, released, paid.

Why partner

Do the legal work. We handle the rest.

Steady matter flow

Briefs come from customers who have already booked with VirtualVakil, in the practice areas and states you choose. You bid only on the matters you want.

No marketing spend

You do not advertise, solicit or chase clients. VirtualVakil handles customer intake; there is no fee to join and no referral fee or commission either way.

Transparent payouts

Your bid states official costs and your fee separately. Payout is tied to documents you upload, and every stage of the payment is visible on your job page.

Data handled with care

Briefs are masked until the award, and customer data is used only for the awarded matter, in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Professional conduct. This is an invitation to apply for empanelment, not an advertisement of any advocate. Partners must follow the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules, including the bar on soliciting work and advertising (Rule 36). No commission, referral fee or payment for obtaining work is paid or accepted by either side, and no inducement is ever offered to any court, police or government official.

Frequently asked

Before you apply

Is this advertising of legal services?
No. This page invites advocates and companies to apply for empanelment with VirtualVakil. Customers do not choose or see panel partners, and partners do not solicit or approach customers. Every advocate remains bound by the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules.
Which matters are offered today?
Matters are offered across cyber crime, traffic challans (Lok Adalat and court), criminal and civil law. Each brief goes to partners whose specialisations and states match the matter.
Can a support company bid without an advocate?
A support company may take part in documentation and coordination, but any appearance before a court or Lok Adalat must be made by an advocate enrolled with a State Bar Council who holds a valid Certificate of Practice.
Is any outcome or discount guaranteed?
No. Neither VirtualVakil nor the partner promises any outcome or discount. Fines and fees are paid only through official channels, and the official receipt is kept with the matter.
How do I join?
