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.

Ishan Handa

Partner

Practice Area

Banking & Finance Financial Services Restructuring & Insolvency

My approach is fundamentally goal-oriented. The thrill of balancing the demands and concerns of interested stakeholders (clients, counter-parties, other advisors) whilst simultaneously creating a workable structure, keeps me motivated and enables me to think ‘outside the box’. This in turn, allows me to solve issues which up until then were considered ‘unsolvable’, a quality that is particularly useful in an industry which can sometimes be tied down to conventional approaches.

Ishan Handa has 10 years of experience and is part of the Banking & Finance practice. Ishan advises and represents Indian and international banks, asset reconstruction companies, housing finance companies, foreign portfolio investors and NBFCs in a wide variety of lending transactions, both onshore as well as offshore, including structured finance, promoter finance, project finance and real estate financing. Ishan also acts for private equity sponsors and credit funds in financing transactions with a focus on debt raising for their portfolio companies in India and acquisition/leveraged financings, minority back-leverage structures, distressed debt transactions and restructurings, both domestically as well as on a cross-border basis.
