As India’s economy continues from strength to strength, Indian companies are building on their success by looking offshore for investments and growth opportunities. Meanwhile, many international companies look towards optimizing opportunities in India, the world’s largest democracy and among the most preferred destinations in terms of financial attractiveness, people and skills availability, and business environment.
For more than 40 years, Baker & McKenzie has been assisting Indian companies with their business interests worldwide. At the forefront of this advice is our India Focus Group, a multijurisdictional team consisting of about 200 lawyers, who have the experience and fluent knowledge to navigate legal complexities across practices on India related matters.
Our India Focus Group’s global network is uniquely positioned to help companies navigate both Indian markets and markets that are key destinations of Indian investment. We leverage this wealth of India-related experience and work closely with India’s most highly regarded law firms to bring the right team to every transaction, regardless of location.
