Osborne Clarke has been advising Indian firms in Europe and - through a superb network of Indian law firms and consulting firms - European firms in India for over seven years.

As well as acting for most of the international Indian IT firms in Europe, we also act for many pharma, real estate and other Indian businesses. Our commercial advice includes drafting commercial contracts, setting up and further developing local presences in Europe as well as HR and litigation services for Indian clients.

An important part of our work with Indian companies is helping them list on European stock exchanges, such as AIM and Entry Standard.  We also help them acquire European businesses, with legal advice from members of the Osborne Clarke alliance.

We help our European clients to set up and expand their businesses in India, enter into joint venture agreements or acquire Indian companies in order to establish a footprint in the Indian subcontinent.

To keep up to date with the dynamic and fast growing Indian market our experts make regular visits to the sub-continent.  Our clients benefit from the knowledge gained during these visits and our awareness of the cultural aspects of doing business in India.
