Investments & Takeovers
Our experienced legal team, with a background in stock exchanges, frequently assists in takeovers of publicly traded companies with large market capitalisations. The firm counsels residents and non-residents on private equity investment in both listed and unlisted entities in the primary and secondary markets and the sale of equity in Indian listed companies to foreign buyers.
To that end, the firm conducts a thorough investigation into the company’s operations and researches the tax and regulatory regimes applicable to such businesses. We are involved in all aspects of these transactions and collaborate with experts in direct and indirect taxation, vendor diligence, accounting issues, securities laws, foreign exchange laws, competition laws, employment laws, dispute resolution, tax, and finance.
