Where we work
Our desks
Teams within the firm dedicated to a region, working from India and led by a named partner. A desk is not an office and we do not present it as one. It is a group of lawyers who handle that corridor every week, hold the relationships in it, and work to its clock. Six desks are in operation.
Six desks, one licence
A desk is a team in India dedicated to a corridor, not a foreign office. All six may run at launch.

Europe Desk
United Kingdom and Ireland Desk
ASEAN and Singapore Desk
A very large share of capital entering India is structured through Singapore, and a very large share of India-related arbitration is seated there.
Middle East Desk
The Gulf to India corridor carries more capital, more construction and more family-owned business than almost any other.
Americas Desk
United States counsel usually need three things on an Indian question: a clear answer, a realistic timetable and somebody reachable at nine in the evening Eastern time.
Africa Desk
Two directions of travel
Inbound
Foreign companies, funds and law firms with an Indian question, an Indian target, an Indian subsidiary or an Indian proceeding. We are the India arm of the transaction and, frequently, of the instructing firm.
Outbound
Indian businesses acquiring, distributing, licensing, litigating or establishing abroad, where the Indian side of the structure has to be right before the foreign side is worth building.
