About

Provided by Bharucha & Partners

Our Banking & Finance Practice advises on conventional financing as well as cutting edge structured products. We handle both Indian Rupee and foreign currency-denominated financing for major banks and market-leading borrowers. Our experience includes advising on external commercial borrowings, refinancing, syndicated loans and club deals, reverse factoring, debt issuances, project finance, asset finance, corporate finance, equipment financing and leasing, bank branch establishment, and bankruptcy and restructuring (including under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016). We are recognised for our interdisciplinary approach which ensures that we find solutions to a range of distressed situations.

Our team’s experience ranges from handling complex and diverse cross-border financing deals to restructuring and reorganising non-performing assets for banks and financial institutions and their onward sale to Asset Reconstruction Companies or other financial institutions. We advise and represent leading international and domestic banks and non-banking financial companies in their recovery and ancillary actions before relevant courts and tribunals.

We act for leading banks, non-banking financial companies, and financial institutions, both international and domestic, as well as leaders in their field of borrowers across a range of sectors including entertainment, logistics, natural resources, ports, infrastructure, and telecommunications.
