About the Organization

The MLM Schemes Victims Association is a dedicated body formed to support victims who have been defrauded by large-scale Ponzi and MLM scams across India. The association is committed to ensuring justice for thousands of affected individuals by actively pursuing both civil recovery and criminal prosecution of offenders. By working closely with enforcement agencies, public prosecutors, and legal experts, the association has positioned itself as a key player in consumer protection and financial fraud litigation. This initiative not only provides a platform for victims to be heard but also helps in strengthening systemic measures against fraudulent financial practices. The current engagement offers advocates an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a cause that blends professional litigation with public interest service.

Eligibility

The role is open to practising advocates certified to appear before the High Court of Bombay with 3 to 15 years of relevant experience. Candidates must hold valid enrolment with the Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa and should possess a strong track record in financial crime, fraud litigation, or regulatory disputes. Essential skills include drafting, advocacy, and research, along with fluency in English, Hindi, and Marathi.

Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to advancing collective justice while maintaining professional integrity and competence.

Role

The selected advocates will take on a dynamic role that combines courtroom advocacy, strategic planning, and victim assistance. Responsibilities will include representing victims before the Bombay High Court, filing and arguing applications related to asset recovery, assisting public prosecutors in strengthening fraud-related cases, and coordinating with investigation agencies such as the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai Police. Advocates will also be tasked with case preparation, legal drafting, witness support, and forensic evidence review. In addition, part of the role involves guiding victims through documentation and legal procedures while ensuring that their collective interests are effectively represented.
