Trilegal

India

Analysis

Overview

Trilegal climbs up in several rankings this year, most notably into the ‘Outstanding’ bands for banking and finance, competition, dispute resolution and investment funds. It is quickly becoming 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 four-year-old asset management and fund formation practice has rapidly risen to be a power player, with one peer noting: “Trilegal has collected some of the top funds lawyers in the country. It is definitely a top-tier practice.” 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.
