Bar Council of India Rules
The Bar Council of India does not permit advocates to solicit work or to advertise, directly or indirectly, under Rule 36 in Part VI, Chapter II of the Bar Council of India Rules framed under the Advocates Act, 1961.
This website is maintained by Nirwan Goel, an advocate, and is limited to the information those rules permit an advocate's website to carry, together with the software, writing and resources published here. It is not an advertisement, a solicitation, or an invitation or inducement of any kind to engage an advocate.
Your acknowledgement
By using this website you acknowledge and confirm that:
- you are seeking information about the site owner, the software and the writing published here of your own accord and for your own information;
- there has been no solicitation, advertisement, personal communication, invitation or inducement of any sort from the site owner, or from anyone on the site owner's behalf, to use this website or to seek legal services;
- nothing on this website is legal advice, and no advocate-client relationship is created by your visit; and
- you have read this disclaimer and accept it.
What this website is
This website is informational. Its purpose is to publish the apps and websites the site owner builds, essays on law, technology and public institutions, and practical resources.
The professional particulars an advocate's website may carry — name, contact details, enrolment, qualifications and areas of practice — are set out on the About page, https://nirwangoel.com/about/, as and when they are published there.
Nothing on this website is intended to create, and nothing should be read as creating, an expectation of any particular outcome in any matter. No statement here is a representation about past results or about the quality of legal services compared with anyone else's.
No legal advice
The essays, resources, notes and other material on this website are general information, published for discussion and education. They are not legal advice or a legal opinion on any matter, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified advocate on the facts of your own situation.
Law changes, and its application depends on facts. Material here may not reflect the latest statutes, rules, notifications or judgments, and may not apply where you are. Do not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything on this website without taking advice specific to your circumstances.
The same applies to the software listed under Builds. A tool that converts, computes or organises information — including land-record units or measurements — is a tool, not an opinion. Check its results against official records and, where it matters, with the competent authority or an advocate before relying on them.
No advocate-client relationship
Visiting this website, reading its content, downloading or buying a resource or a build, writing to any address listed here, or booking a time through the scheduling link does not by itself create an advocate-client relationship.
Such a relationship begins only when the site owner has expressly agreed in writing to act for you, after checking for any conflict of interest, and on terms — including any fee — agreed at that time.
Until then, please do not send confidential information or documents. A communication sent before an engagement is agreed may not be treated as confidential or privileged, and receiving it does not prevent the site owner from acting for someone else in the same or a related matter.
Consultations by appointment
A consultation on a legal matter, or a conversation about a build, can be requested by appointment, at your own initiative. The scheduling window is provided by Cal.com, a third party; what you type into it is handled under Cal.com's own policy.
No fee for legal services is quoted or taken through this website. Booking a time is a request for a conversation, not an engagement, and the site owner may decline any request, including where a conflict of interest exists or the matter is outside the site owner's practice.
Accuracy and liability
Reasonable care is taken over what is published here, but no warranty is given that any content is accurate, complete or current. Statutes, judgments and official material referred to should be read in their authoritative published versions.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site owner is not liable for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, arising from reliance on anything on this website, from action taken or not taken on the basis of it, or from any interruption to or error in the website or the software listed on it.
Links and third parties
Links to other websites, app stores and services are provided for convenience. The site owner does not control them, does not endorse their content, and is not responsible for them.
