JoyceLaw was established in 2018 by private-equity specialist Deepak Joyce, a former L&L Partners corporate partner. The firm bills itself as a boutique PE practice acting for some of the country’s best-known and up-and-coming startups. The team prides itself on its deep understanding of the regulatory landscape as well as the sensitivities of Indian promoters, and PE and VC funds. The firm’s strength and work has evolved over the years, from focusing on primarily smaller fundraising rounds in the early days to being counsel for the sell-side in several large later-stage funding rounds led by sophisticated financial investors represented by top Indian and international law firms. Joyce and his team have been very active advising clients in the area of financial services regulation related to digital lending, credit, debit and pre-paid cards, and payment aggregation. Its VC practice has grown from strength to strength over the years.
