Rules

A short set of rules that keep Claw Careers honest, free and within the Bar Council of India’s rules on advocates. They apply to every candidate, hirer and member of the Claw team.

Report something

The Bar Council lines

Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules says an advocate shall not solicit work or advertise. Claw Careers is a place to be hired, not a place to be advertised, so it is built around that rule.

Not public

Portfolios are seen only by signed-in hirers.

Not ranked

No ratings, scores or “top advocate” lists.

Briefs offered privately

One advocate at a time; the client chooses.

No fee share

Claw takes nothing from an advocate’s fee.

Rules for everyone

Do

Use your real name and true details
Be courteous in messages and interviews
Keep other people’s details to the purpose they were shared for
Report anything that breaks these rules

Do not

Ask anyone for money to apply, interview or join
Harass, discriminate against or threaten anyone
Copy portfolios or contact details off the platform
Share anything that identifies a client without their consent

Rules for candidates

Enter your enrolment details exactly as on the State Bar Council roll. The desk checks them.
Upload only work you are allowed to share. Remove client names from writing samples.
Do not use your portfolio to seek clients. Briefs come only through Briefs from Claw.
Submit to Well Argued only orders in matters you worked on, with the right to share them.

Rules for hirers

Post only real roles, with honest pay and location.
Never ask a candidate for a fee, deposit or paid training.
Use candidates’ details only to hire for the roles you post.
Decline candidates kindly. The decline templates exist for that.
Do not publish, rank or rate advocates you review.

Reports and what we do

Anyone can report an opening, a message or a portfolio. The Claw desk reviews every report and may hide the content, warn the person, or close the account. We tell the person who reported it what we did.
