Christian Hirte
Co-Chair Board of Directors of IGAL
Indo German Association for Legal Cooperation (IGAL)
Welcome to the website of the Indo-German Association for Legal Cooperation (IGAL). Thank you for your interest!
IGAL was jointly conceptualised as an idea by two lawyers - Christian Hirte, Member of German Parliament and Nalin Kohli, National Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This idea took formal shape when IGAL was launched in November 2017 by high-level representatives from law, politics and civil society in Berlin, graciously hosted by the Indian Embassy and with support from the Konrad Adenaeur Foundation.
IGAL seeks to build bridges between the Republic of India and the Federal Republic of Germany by creating a networking forum for lawyers, legal luminaries, political personalities and business leaders.
The primary objective of IGAL is to establish a platform where stakeholders can regularly share views related to legal frameworks, statutory requirements, dispute resolution, business practices, investment opportunities, sharing of information, among other areas of mutual interest. Such interaction will help foster a stronger bond between professionals and businesses in both countries. This in turn enables investor clients undertake more informed and considered decisions particularly among smaller and family owned business entities.
We invite everyone to get involved in our fast growing network!
