About Corporate and M&A Advisory
For us, law isn't just about ticking boxes. It's about finding fair, lasting solutions. This approach has shaped our firm for over a century and keeps us moving forward, not stuck in old ways. We bring this mindset to every deal, whether it's a huge cross-border M&A or a family business partnership.
What We Do
We cover the full cycle of corporate and M&A work:
- Handle all kinds of mergers and acquisitions - public, private, asset transfers, demergers, even distressed M&A.
- Support private equity and venture capital transactions, from setting up funds to planning exits.
- Advise on corporate restructuring and insolvency, both within India and internationally.
- Help build and negotiate strategic joint ventures and alliances designed to last, not just flashy on paper.
- Guide boards and promoters on corporate governance, compliance, and succession planning.
How We Work
We use the latest tech (including AI) to make research and due diligence faster and sharper, so our lawyers can focus on real strategy, not just paperwork. We get that India has its quirks, like the way post-employment non-competes usually don't hold up unless it's tied to selling business goodwill. Stuff like this can trip people up, so we flag it early.
Why Us
We’ve handled hundreds of high-value deals, but what matters is the practical advice and clear thinking we bring to the table. If you need insight, not just process, we’re here to help.

My Story
People see the awards, the top rankings, all that jazz. Sure, we’re proud, but the real vibe here? It started 108 years back with my grandfather’s mantra - ‘Work is man’s anthem to life.’ We talk about ‘niti’ (the rules) and ‘nyay’ (real justice) all the time, finding that sweet spot. Honestly, we’re more than just lawyers - we’re a mixed bunch who love books, pickleball, doodling, pup therapy, and Holi madness. That’s our soul. That’s our journey.
My Work
Full-Spectrum Legal Services - We cover everything from corporate deals, capital markets, tech law, private client work, to dispute resolution.
Balance of Law and Justice - We don’t just follow ‘niti’ - we chase ‘nyay’. Solutions must feel fair, not just legal.
Future-Ready Legal Advice - Our Centre for AI Law in India keeps us ahead, especially with digital regulation advisory and ESG legal consulting.
Global Reach, Local Touch - With 1000+ lawyers in India, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, we handle multi-jurisdictional dispute resolution for big firms, startups, families.
