According to livelaw.in, the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has invited applications from practicing advocates for empanelment at its regional office in Indore. Applications must be submitted by August 25, 2026, to represent ESIC before the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Employees' Insurance Courts, district and subordinate courts, magistrate courts, labour courts, consumer forums, tribunals including CAT, and other judicial bodies.

Applicants must be enrolled with the Bar Council of India or a state bar council. They need a minimum of 10 years of professional experience for High Court and CAT, and 5 years for district-level and other forums. Experience in labour laws, social security laws, and conversance with the ESI Act and other relevant laws are preferred. Applications in the prescribed format must reach the Regional Director in Indore by the deadline.

This empanelment drive shows ESIC's ongoing need for legal muscle. The 10-year experience bar for high courts seems reasonable given the stakes in social security litigation. But the real test will be whether the selection process favours merit over connections, and whether these advocates eventually improve the corporation's win rate in courts.
