BackThe Practice
Over the last two decades, the India growth story with an increasingly liberalised economy and related factors such as advancement in technology, greater access to capital, and reduced barriers to entry, have contributed to a tremendous surge in M&As and have transformed the M&A landscape of the country. Khaitan’s practice comprises domestic and international (inbound and outbound) M&A transactions across the entire M&A spectrum. This includes asset/share transactions, listed and private company takeovers, joint ventures, corporate reconstructions, leveraged buy outs and management buy outs.
The Execution
Our clients are both strategic and financial transaction sponsors. We continually represent domestic and international clients across multiple sectors, listed and unlisted Indian companies, multinational corporations and international private equity/venture capital funds.
The Khaitan Advantage
We have one of the largest teams in India that is spread across four geographies and specialises in M&As. This is also our largest national practice area. We have the expertise to deal with the demands of any M&A transaction of any kind, in any sector, and of any size. We are consciously sensitive to the expectations and requirements in M&A transactions of our diverse clientele. As a full-service firm, we can deliver on every legal aspect of a M&A deal.
"This is a firm that can be counted on for all matters from the start of the deal till its completion. The firm has an excellent team of lawyers who think outside the box."
