Latham’s multilingual and multidisciplinary India team advises local and international clients on the largest and most influential transactions and financings, as well as complex, high-value disputes.
We are one of the largest and most experienced international law firms advising Indian clients and international clients on India-related matters. With more than 50 lawyers based in Latham offices around the globe, our India Practice advises clients on a broad range of India-related matters and transactions governed by Singapore, English, and US law. Our team draws on a longstanding history working with leading Indian law firms, complementary knowledge of Indian regulations and key market players, and cultural insight to provide effective, commercial and solutions-oriented advice on high-stakes matters and landmark transactions across the subcontinent.
We leverage our global platform to guide clients on cross-border M&A transactions, equity and debt capital markets offerings, restructurings, bank finance, asset management, regulatory/compliance and international arbitration and disputes. We focus on serving India’s most dynamic and high-growth sectors, bringing particular experience in energy and infrastructure, fintech and financial services, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, technology, and industrial manufacturing. By advising on many of the landmark transactions in such sectors, we bring clients a deep understanding of the commercial and regulatory dynamics at play.
We guide many of the most significant M&A, joint venture, venture capital, and private equity transactions in India. We also advise on US and domestic IPOs of Indian companies, high-yield debt offerings, and high-value inbound investments. Because of our outstanding record of advising on market-shaping transactions, the Latham team has earned an unprecedented place on the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI’s) committee to develop a framework for listing Indian companies abroad and listing foreign companies in India. So Latham plays a significant role in shaping India’s emerging 144A IPO and equity offerings market, as well as the high-yield structured bond market.
