Structuring India’s Marquee Financial Transactions

We don’t just redline facility agreements. For marquee transactions, our focus is on covenant negotiation—softening financial constraints and optimizing stamp duty structures across states—to ensure your debt raise is not just documented, but execution-ready.

Our Approach to Complex Transactions

High-value financing in India—whether project finance for sustainable infrastructure or syndicated loans for major acquisitions—demands an understanding of both the law and market sentiment. We operate at the intersection of regulatory strictness and commercial flexibility.

How We Manage Your Deal

• Documentation & Vetting: We conduct deep reviews of facility agreements. Our goal is to ensure terms regarding default events and repayment logic align with your business objectives.
• Covenant Negotiation: We represent you in intensive negotiations with bank consortiums, pushing to soften financial covenants and information undertakings that could otherwise restrict your operations.
• Conditions Precedent (CP) Management: A dedicated team handles the collation and verification of the 50+ documents required for fund dispersal, from board resolutions to solvency certificates, ensuring there are no last-minute delays at the closing table.
• Regulatory & Tax Optimization: We provide specialized advice on stamp duty optimization to reduce transaction costs while ensuring your security documentation—such as Deeds of Hypothecation and Mortgages—is ironclad.

The 'Niti' and 'Nyay' Philosophy

Law is often seen as a rigid set of rules. However, in our 108-year history, we have found that the most effective legal advice comes from balancing the 'niti' (process) with 'nyay' (justice). We do not just look at the letter of the law; we assess the broader context of your transaction to propose solutions that satisfy regulators and investors while remaining fair to your stakeholders.

Whether you are a borrower navigating a 100Cr+ debt raise or an entity in need of strategic restructuring, our senior partners are involved at every stage, providing the technical oversight required to get the deal across the line.
