Corporate Law and M&A Advisory Services
We provide strategic legal guidance across India, helping businesses navigate complex transactions with a focus on both strict compliance and fair outcomes.
In a profession often defined by process, we believe our true value lies in balancing 'niti' (process) with 'nyay' (justice). Our Managing Partner, Cyril Shroff, discusses how this core philosophy, rooted in a legacy of over 100 years, guides our approach to every deal and shapes our role in society.
Our leadership in the Indian M&A landscape is consistently validated by top industry rankings. We are proud to be ranked number one by Mergermarket for both deal value and deal count, a testament to the trust our clients place in us for their most critical transactions.
Navigating the complexities of Indian law requires deep, practical insight. Here, our Partner Bishen Jeswant provides a clear analysis of non-compete restrictions, a common but often misunderstood aspect of employment and M&A contracts in India. This is the kind of nuanced guidance we provide to protect our clients' interests.
We are an AI-first organization, committed to staying ahead of the curve. Our partnership with Legora, a leading Generative AI platform, empowers our lawyers with advanced tools to enhance research, speed, and strategic insights, ensuring we deliver exceptional value to our clients.
We are honored to be recognized as the 'India Law Firm of the Year' by Asian Legal Business. This award reflects our firm-wide dedication to excellence across all practice areas, including our market-leading M&A and corporate advisory services.
We believe in nurturing the next generation of legal leaders. It was our pleasure to host the INSOL International Future Leaders Programme, where our partners shared insights on contemporary topics in insolvency and debt resolution, from real estate insolvency to cross-border restructuring.
Building a lasting institution is about more than just technical skill; it's about purpose and values. In this conversation with The Economic Times, our Managing Partner, Cyril Shroff, shares the leadership lessons that have guided our firm for over a century, focusing on creating a legacy of character, competence, and commitment.
Our track record includes advising on some of the most significant and complex deals in India. This recognition from India Business Law Journal for landmark transactions, including the Hyundai Motor India IPO and the Godrej family settlement, showcases the breadth and depth of our M&A and corporate advisory expertise.
About Featured
Our work is defined by the balance between 'niti' (process) and 'nyay' (justice). While we handle the heavy technical lifting of M&A deals and regulatory compliance, we prioritize fair outcomes that serve your long-term business stability. This ensures our advice is not only legally robust but practically durable for your specific operational goals.
With a 108-year history, we combine deep Indian legal roots with a modern, global perspective. We support clients through the full lifecycle of corporate and M&A transactions, including public and private mergers, asset transfers, and insolvency restructuring. Our team of over 1000 lawyers operates from offices in major hubs like Mumbai, Noida, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai, providing unified support across domestic and cross-border operations.
We integrate AI tools such as Harvey and Lucio to streamline due diligence and research, allowing our partners to focus on the strategic core of your transaction. We prioritize practical risk management, proactively identifying deal breakers and flagging regulatory concerns such as non-compete clauses that may not align with the Indian Contract Act. Whether you require a formal regulatory opinion on FDI and SEBI hurdles, or end-to-end execution support for a share purchase agreement, we deliver clear, actionable direction.
Our practice is designed to protect your interests through every phase of a deal, from initial due diligence to final closing and post-closing filings. By focusing on both the technical precision of definitive agreements and the underlying business logic, we help you close deals that are secure and sustainable. We invite you to discuss your specific requirements with our team, who are equipped to provide the clarity needed for complex corporate decisions.
