General Corporate and Mergers & Acquisitions
As one of the leading Corporate and M&A practices in India, we have advised our domestic and international clients on mergers, friendly and hostile takeovers as well as acquisitions through various bespoke routes. We also advise our clients on the attendant aspects of the transactions - including the resulting reorganizations, corporate governance and legal issues.
Our specialist practices in Anti-Trust, Regulatory, Labour and HR Laws, Foreign Exchange Laws, Securities Laws and Dispute Resolution work in collaboration with our transactional teams to ensure that we can support the short term and long term requirements of our clients, which include some of the largest corporate groups across India and the world.
In addition to the M&A transactions themselves, our teams regularly advise on all ancillary aspects of an M&A matter – beginning from advice on transaction strategy, regulatory approvals, entity formation, funding routes – all the way to post -acquisition advisory and attendant corporate secretarial matters – so as to ensure that we can support clients across the complete time spectrum of their deals.
Some of our key recent transactions include:
- Advising Reliance Capital Limited in connection with the sale of its stake in Reliance Nippon Life Asset Management Limited, the asset management company of mutual fund schemes floated by Reliance-Nippon Mutual – in a deal worth approximately USD 430 Million;
- Advising Zomato Limited in connection with its investment into Grofers, a leading Indian online grocery delivery service in a deal worth approximately USD 100 Million;
