About Us

Where Our Expertise Lie

With a solution-oriented and commercially driven approach, we work closely with clients to deliver practical legal strategies aligned with their business objectives.

Our team advises clients on a broad spectrum of transactional, regulatory and dispute-related matters across multiple sectors.

Aviation forms a cornerstone of the Firm's practice. We regularly advise aircraft lessors, lenders, manufacturers, financial institutions and investors on aircraft leasing, aviation financing, asset repossession and cross-border aviation transactions. The Firm is also engaged with key government and regulatory stakeholders, including the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, contributing to regulatory developments and aviation financing initiatives in GIFT City.

Beyond aviation, the Firm advises clients across corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and insolvency, dispute resolution, fund structuring, intellectual property, media and entertainment, privacy and data protection and shipping.
