Baker McKenzie has welcomed Stuart Rubin to the Steering Committee of its Global India Practice Group, further strengthening one of the largest India practices among international law firms.
The Steering Committee comprises partner representatives from across the Firm’s global platform who actively work on India‑related matters, with responsibility for developing and implementing strategy for the Global India Practice Group.
Stuart Rubin is a US‑qualified partner in Baker McKenzie’s Capital Markets practice in London. Before joining Baker McKenzie in March 2026, he served as global head of the US securities practice at another leading international law firm, where he was a partner for over 15 years. He also led the firm’s Chambers‑ranked India capital markets practice and, previously, its global India practice. Over the course of his career, Stuart has advised on transactions involving nearly half of India’s 100 largest companies, including India's once largest-ever IPO.
Mini Menon vandePol, Baker McKenzie’s Global India Practice Chair, said, “We are delighted to welcome Stuart to our Global India Practice Steering Committee. India’s IPO market continues to attract strong interest from global investors, reflecting both the depth of opportunity and the increasing sophistication of Indian issuers. Stuart’s extensive experience advising on complex India‑related capital markets transactions, combined with his long‑standing relationships across the market, will further strengthen our ability to support clients navigating this evolving landscape.”
Stuart added: “Baker McKenzie's long-standing commitment to the Indian market and clear strategic vision has enabled it to build one of the strongest global India practices. I’m thrilled to be part a group with a shared vision for growing a truly global India practice across a wide variety of practice areas."
Baker McKenzie’s Global India Practice is among the largest among international law firms, with more than 200 lawyers across over 40 locations actively working on India‑related matters. The Firm provides comprehensive legal services tailored to the diverse needs of clients, enabling companies to capitalise on market growth opportunities in India and beyond, while effectively mitigating risk.
The Firm’s commitment to India‑focused excellence is further reflected in the continued recognition of four Steering Committee members – Mini Menon vandePol, Samantha Mobley, Philippe Reich and Ash Tiwari – on the India Business Law Journal’s International A‑List for 2026. Drawing on testimonials from Indian nominators and referees, the list recognises international lawyers who are supporting India’s global expansion through the structuring of landmark transactions, management of cross‑border risk, and the development of legal frameworks for international growth.
Baker McKenzie also has one of the world’s largest capital markets practices, with more than 300 lawyers globally, advising issuers, investment banks, financial sponsors and other market participants on equity and debt offerings, including domestic and cross‑border IPOs, debt issuances and complex, multi‑jurisdictional transactions.
