India

Our India Team

Our long-established India team advises Indian clients across a range of sectors on corporate, commercial and real estate transactions.

We combine a detailed understanding of the Indian market with a highly personalised, partner-led approach to deliver solutions and practical advice, particularly in the structuring and coordination of cross-border transactions in the M&A, investments and private equity fields.

We also advise non-resident Indians and high net worth Indian individuals who are the promoters and controlling shareholders of companies on their personal wealth management matters, as well as advising on their corporate, financial, UK immigration and other legal needs.

The India team handles cases of considerable size and complexity for corporate and individual clients for all forms of commercial dispute resolution, including high court litigation, international and domestic arbitrations and mediation.
