Our India group works on some of the most significant matters in the Indian market, such as advising the satellite television arm of Videocon Group on its listing of US$325-million worth of American depositary receipts on Nasdaq, the largest Indian IPO in the US since 2007. We also represented Copper rod producer Metrod Malaysia in its cross-border acquisition of a five-star hotel in Goa for MYR467.4 million (US$119 million) and Sistema JSFC on the US$800 million demerger of its Indian wireless business.
As the top cross-border law firm advising Indian companies on their global expansion strategies, clients benefit from our leading practice groups and extensive network of offices in the US, UK, Germany, Africa, ASEAN, and Latin America. In the past three years, we have advised 300 Indian corporates and banks on more than 2,000 transactions, and represented 500 global companies in 1,200 matters. The India Business Law Journal named our work on the Videocon listing “Deal of the Year” in 2015, and we are one of the top 10 law firms for M&A in India by deal volume, according to Thomson Reuters.
As one of the first international firms to enter the Indian market, we have built a strong client base by providing first-class advice on Banking & Finance, Corporate/M&A, Capital Markets, Trade & Commerce, Corporate Compliance and Tax matters. Although we cannot advise on Indian law because of regulatory restrictions, we are the risk management experts and business advisors for global clients doing business in India.
