Trilegal

India

Analysis

Overview

Trilegal ascends to the top tier for its capital markets and restructuring and insolvency practices. It is a preferred choice for heavyweight clients, an alternative to the famous family firms that inhabit the top echelon of legal services providers. Its TMT practice continues to gain traction as a market leader, and its private equity and investment funds offering is growing from strength to strength. The firm’s six-year-old asset management and fund formation practice has rapidly risen to be a power player. The dispute resolution team, led by Shankh Sengupta, has proven its worth with an elite group of litigators acting in high stakes matters for premier clients. In a blockbuster move, antitrust head Nisha Kaur Uberoi moved with her entire team to JSA in July 2024.
