India

Ashurst Perkins Coie has had a robust India practice for over three decades, being one of the first international law firms to open an office in New Delhi in 1994. Our activity in the region has grown rapidly since then, with a focus on supporting cross-border inbound and outbound transactions relating to India.

Our dedicated India practice is based out of London, and coordinates across our network of 52 global offices as well as a range of practice areas to bring our clients global insights with locally tailored advice.

Over the years, our India group has developed invaluable experience working with government and regulatory agencies, and liaising with local lawyers and other advisors to navigate the most complex technical issues, as well as the unique dynamics of deal execution in India. While we do not practice Indian law due to regulatory restrictions, we work closely with a range of Indian law firms, always ensuring the best interests of our clients on their India related requirements.

Our key strengths globally lie in Projects & Infrastructure, Energy, Renewables, Technology, Digital Economy and Financial Services.

Our lawyers are domain authorities when it comes to advising international clients on the spectrum of banking and finance matters in India, including external commercial borrowings, fundraising, lending and borrowing, and project financing. We also have deep experience in M&A and Projects matters and regularly advise international funds and companies on their acquisitions, investments, sale / disposals etc. in India. As a firm we are one of the leaders in the Projects and Infrastructure space globally, being recently ranked in regional directories as a Band-1 firm in the Projects and Infrastructure category for the Asia Pacific region.

The India practice at Ashurst Perkins Coie is positioned to bridge the gap between our various global offices and tailor our offering specifically to opportunities in India. The firm also has the ability to offer a centralized platform to coordinate all India-related inbound and outbound work across multiple practice areas and use its cross-practice abilities effectively.
