Driven by excellence, focused on strategies for the longer term.

This is the crux of who we are. It is an articulation of precision in purpose, from the Firm’s beginnings to where we are today. Our collective eye is unerringly trained on tomorrow.

Deep sectoral expertise across services and industries.

Our insistence on strategic advisory exacts an in-depth understanding of and involvement with our clients’ businesses and industries. We engage not just individual businesses, but also contribute to the country’s legal and regulatory frameworks.

Personal commitment supported by experience and grit.

We commit early. We pull together internally for greater support. Every effort is sincere, every individual deeply dedicated to their task, their role, to the Firm.

Our undertakings for long-term impact are an organic extension of our purpose.

They are to employ our deep knowledge of the law beyond the business, the transaction, the deal. To use the opportunities and skills we possess, to reflect on the culture we’re creating. Individually and collectively, these are our efforts to help shape the thinking of our future generations, and arm them with strategies for true, sustainable growth.

Knowledge-sharing is intrinsic to equity and inclusivity.

This is a repository of thought leadership, deep insights and strong viewpoints, legal and other news and events and how they impact the industry and our clients.

Relevance is critical to growth. It necessitates a firm that is dynamic and responsive.

Amplifying intrinsic talent, sharpening skills, expanding knowledge, is vital to leading. It defines every aspect of how our firm functions and transacts. This is how we create new benchmarks and set industry standards.

Working Group Report on the FPI Regulations

On May 24, 2019, SEBI published the report of the Working Group under the chairmanship of Harun R. Khan, constituted to review the SEBI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations, 2014 (‘FPI Regulations’). The recommendations of the Working Group range from fast tracking the on boarding process for select Category II FPIs, removal of the opaque structure definition, separate registration for sub-funds of a fund with segregated portfolio, permitting FPIs for off-market transactions, reclassification of investment from FPI to foreign direct investment (FDI) and strengthening the offshore derivative instruments framework. We will circulate further updates if and when SEBI adopts any such recommendations of the Working Group. AZB & Partners was a member of this Working Group.
