India

India’s companies and founders are building across borders: acquiring, investing, and competing well beyond their home market. Our lawyers advise on the deals, disputes, and intellectual property matters that journey demands, acting for international investors and acquirers both operating in and moving into India.

We work closely with leading law firms across India, drawing on a broad network of relationships to support clients on matters involving Indian law. This enables us to deliver coordinated, commercially focused advice with access to the local perspectives most relevant to each engagement.

We advise Indian and international clients across a focused set of disciplines:

Corporate, M&A, and Investment

Corporate, M&A, and investment work lies at the heart of our practice. We advise the businesses driving India's outbound growth, with a particular focus on founder-led and mid-market companies as well as India’s largest conglomerates. From our Singapore office, we lead the execution of complex cross-border transactions, coordinating seamlessly with our US and English law teams to provide integrated advice across acquisitions, acquisition financings, investments, and capital raises.

Operating within the same business day as Mumbai and Bengaluru, we offer clients an efficient platform for managing cross-border transactions. As Indian technology, healthcare, and manufacturing companies continue to expand internationally through acquisitions and fundraising, the US-India corridor has become a central focus of our practice.

International Arbitration and Disputes

Our Singapore team has a long-standing International Arbitration practice and acts for Indian and international clients in commercial and investment treaty arbitration seated in Singapore, India, and other major centres. We represent clients across various industry verticals, including energy, infrastructure, construction, and shipping, and draw on the firm’s arbitration lawyers in venues across the globe.

Intellectual Property

The firm has a substantial Intellectual Property practice, with IP lawyers and professionals across the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia. For India-related matters, we have significant experience in life sciences, pharmaceutical, and chemical patent litigation, including Hatch-Waxman proceedings, complemented by robust capabilities in patent prosecution and strategic portfolio management.

Technology and Digital Services

We advise clients across AI, data, and digital services. Our focus is on outbound growth investments and global expansion, including private equity and founder-led transactions, as well as technology commercialization and cross-border technology arrangements.

Healthcare, Life Sciences, and Health Technology

The firm supports companies and investors across the healthcare, life sciences, and health technology sectors on outbound transactions and global expansion. This is delivered through close coordination between our Singapore office and the firm’s US corporate, tax, employment, and capital markets practices, and complemented by significant experience in pharmaceutical and life sciences IP, including patent litigation and prosecution.

Automotive, Manufacturing, and Industrials

We advise clients in the automotive, manufacturing, and industrial sectors on outbound transactions and international expansion, including acquisitions, joint ventures, and supply chain structuring. This is supported by our integrated corporate, tax, and trade capabilities.
