India
In India, our collaboration with the Mumbai-based India Law Alliance (ILA) enables us to provide the advice our clients in the UK-Indian corridor need. The depth and breadth of our advice includes representation of clients in the lower courts right up to the Apex Court, and managing inbound Indian investments.
Our work in India
Our lawyers and those in the ILA share experience and skills which benefit the clients of both firms, enabling us to provide comprehensive advice on transactions across both jurisdictions – meaning clients enjoy the same level of service in their Indian business as they do in the UK.
Our offering to clients doing business in India
Counterparty due diligence
This involves investigation into a company you might wish to work with. It covers legal, commercial, and sometimes political, investigation into the entity, and usually some investigation into the individual behind that entity.
Contract acclimatisation
We take a contract that you are comfortable with, for example a supply contract or a distribution contract, and make sure it works in a foreign country. As a minimum, we check that the dispute resolution and execution blocks work, and consider any clauses that might be inapplicable – or perhaps even illegal – to enforce in that country.
Translation and naming
This is often part of contract acclimatisation but is also a standalone service. When it comes to the law, word-for-word language translation simply isn’t good enough. Because we translate with context, we ensure that the translation is sensitive to the specific legal meanings of words, and also that an appropriate language clause is inserted into the contract where necessary.
Compliance
We make sure your operations are being conducted in accordance with local requirements and highlight any risks or issues you might not have known to ask about.
