Europe Desk
European businesses in India
What we do
We advise European corporates, family-owned industrials, funds and law firms on the Indian leg of their work. Entry structuring and foreign investment conditions. Acquisition of Indian targets and the diligence that precedes it. Joint ventures with Indian partners, including the control and deadlock questions that European boards ask first. Manufacturing establishment, industrial licensing, labour and environmental compliance, which is where the German and Italian industrial client base spends most of its Indian legal budget. Distribution and agency arrangements, and the termination exposure attaching to them. Data protection, where the delta between an existing General Data Protection Regulation programme and the Indian requirement is usually narrow and specific. Enforcement of European awards and judgments in India. Employment and secondment for expatriate staff.
How the desk works
Working languages confirm. All advice on Indian law. Local law in the European jurisdiction is provided by independent counsel we introduce and the client engages directly.
