About Market Leadership & Accolades
Rankings are just external validation of the work we do every day. Whether we are advising on a cross-border acquisition or navigating regulatory hurdles, our firm-wide commitment to 'nyay'—the idea that legal solutions must be fair and practical, not just technical—is why we continue to be recognized. When you bring a complex problem to us, you are plugging into a process that has been stress-tested across 108 years of Indian legal history.
While we are proud of our recognitions by Chambers and Partners, The Legal 500, and Mergermarket, these awards are merely a byproduct of our obsession with finding fair, lasting legal solutions. They act as a benchmark for our clients, indicating that our research methods and negotiation strategies meet the highest global standards.
Why These Rankings Matter to Your Deal
- Reduced Regulatory Risk: Our top-tier status in Policy & Regulatory law means we often understand how regulators think before a new rule is fully tested. We help you navigate FDI, SEBI, and CCI hurdles with greater foresight.
- Speed and Accuracy: Using AI tools like Harvey for due diligence, we process data faster than traditional firms. This efficiency is why our M&A and Private Equity teams are consistently ranked in Band 1.
- Depth of Expertise: With over 1000 lawyers across India, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi, our 'market-leading' tag isn't just about headcount. It means we have specific experts for every niche—from insolvency and restructuring to tech law and banking.
Our Philosophy in Practice
We talk about the balance of 'niti' (process) and 'nyay' (justice) because that is how we solve problems. A legal strategy that is technically perfect but commercially unworkable is a failure in our eyes. Whether it is handling a high-stakes IPO like Hyundai Motors India or structuring a family office governance plan, our goal is to deliver advice that works in the boardroom, the courtroom, and in real life. When you work with us, you are not just getting a lawyer; you are getting a partner who treats your business legacy as if it were our own.
