About

Provided by AZB & Partners

At the forefront of M&A activity in India, including insurance, AZB has been involved in more than 75% of private insurance joint ventures since the sector opened up in 2000. Our insight into regulatory views and our interactions in shaping them sets us apart. Our clients have returned to us consistently and long term relationships, coupled with a full service offering, enables us to provide crisp, specific advice, whether the client is a bank, a regional or global insurance player, a private equity fund or a strategic investor.

Our advice is tailored towards risk–assessed solutions in a given legal framework. Since the sector has the potential to be litigious, our specialists have prior experience in not just M&A or regulatory advice, but also in contentious insurance and contractual litigations, which enhances the purpose–driven advice we provide.
