Fladgate has a long established practice in advising Indian clients on a wide range of corporate and commercial transactions.
In recent years, the India team has developed a market reputation as leading advisors to Indian companies wishing to raise funds in the international capital markets through listings on the London, Luxembourg and Singapore stock exchanges of specialist debt and equity securities, such as global depositary receipts and foreign currency convertible bonds. A recent study by the Indian Business Law Journal identifies us as being one of the top ten international firms for India-related capital markets and corporate finance work.
The team maintains excellent working relationships with lead managers who can assist companies in fund raising, and has built up a network of contacts with depositaries, listing agents and escrow agents, all of whom can be utilised to ensure the listing proceeds quickly and efficiently.
Fladgate has also acted for a diverse range of Indian companies seeking to expand their presence in the UK and in Europe, either through acquisitions or through establishing their own office in the UK.
The India team’s reputation is founded on a thorough knowledge and understanding of the client’s business practices, coupled with the ability to tailor advice to client’s specific needs and requirements. Because of the India team’s recognised ability to work very closely with clients, Fladgate has often been appointed by Indian companies to advise, structure, and coordinate cross border transactions in the M&A, investments and private equity fields.
