About

Provided by Herbert Smith Freehills

Our track record of advising clients on high profile and significant cross-border transactions, projects, disputes and debt and equity financings, has earned us a reputation for being a market-leading India practice. We are regularly the firm of choice for both international clients and Indian corporates in relation to their most important matters in India as well as overseas. We are also at the forefront of the energy sector, contributing to conversations and advising on first-in-market transactions and projects. Our practice is based across our London, Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong offices and operates as one adaptable team that can be tailored as required.

Due to Indian regulation, we are precluded from having offices on the ground in India and practising Indian law. However we have strong relationships with top Indian law firms with whom we work to deliver a seamless service.
