WHAT
WE DO

We identify critical roadblocks and devise innovative ways to implement commercially viable solutions. This includes working closely with our in–house legal and business teams to meet legal and regulatory challenges, identify risk factors and proactively implement mitigation measures.

Our advice extends from the micro to the macro aspects of business and policy, with assistance on setting up India operations. We also regularly update our clients on the evolving regulatory landscape. This is the result of our deep involvement making industry representations to regulators and policy makers to address business–critical aspects – an outcome of practical, ground level implementation of structures and business issues.

We work seamlessly with other disciplines including direct and indirect tax, antitrust and litigation to ensure the advice we provide is holistic. In turn, we weigh in on public/ private M&A, fund raises, joint ventures, intra–group restructuring in the e–commerce and retail space and regulatory and compliance issues.
