India group

India's rapidly growing economy makes it an increasingly important player on the world stage. We advise on both outbound and inbound business issues – supporting Indian companies that want to invest in Europe, the Middle East and Asia and helping international businesses to open and manage operations in India.

Our main focus is on outbound business. We've worked with Indian businesses for many years and have provided a range of services to help them achieve their goals outside India, including advising on:

• M&A and corporate investment 
• commercial contracts 
• intellectual property protection 
• real estate investment and development 
• dispute resolution
• private client matters.

As a full-service international firm, we understand the key commercial and regulatory challenges involved in strategic growth sectors and how to manage them. Most notably, we're experts in: 

• Life sciences and healthcare: We advise some of the most innovative companies on transformative deals and cases. We're especially strong in pharmaceuticals (both originators and generics companies), medical devices and biotech. We work with innovative life sciences companies across the value chain on investments and M&A, dispute resolution and patent litigation, product liability and regulatory issues.  
• Tech and media: We work with many of the world's great tech innovators and disruptors in key sectors including software, gaming, AI and cybersecurity. We advise on a wide range of legal issues, from high-value M&A to early-stage venture funding, from complex IP protection and regulatory law to commercial agreements and from major tech litigation to copyright and media law.  
• Real estate: We work with developers, investors and funders in the real estate sector and provide a full suite of services including corporate, project finance and disputes, alongside our core real estate services. We have the second-largest partner team in Europe and can provide support in a joined-up way across Europe and the Middle East. 
• Hotels, hospitality and leisure: We have a market-leading Hotels team led by one of the most recognised names in the sector that supports a wide range of hotel developers, investors and owners. We advise on high-value, complex M&A deals, hotel management agreements and franchise agreements all over the world and have a wealth of important industry connections. 
• Private wealth: We have an internationally renowned Private Wealth group who advise on a wide range of complex and often sensitive issues like international tax planning, trust and estate disputes, reputation management matters and strategic investments for many of the world's ultra high net worth individuals and their family offices.  

If you're looking to set up, invest or do business in India, we have strong relationships with several key law firms and intermediaries in the country. We can introduce you to our regional contacts and act as a facilitator to ensure you get the results and services you require.
