Our approach<\/p>

More than engaging local lawyers<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div>

When a company, public-sector undertaking, financial institution or other client becomes involved in litigation, arbitration or other legal proceedings in a foreign jurisdiction, effective management requires a coordinated legal strategy that connects the client’s objectives, the foreign proceedings and the wider commercial and legal implications of the matter.<\/p>

Where a matter arises in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Thailand or any other jurisdiction, we assist in identifying and coordinating with appropriate local counsel through our international professional network, and remain involved in the matter throughout its course.<\/p><\/div>

<\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Global network<\/h3>

We work with trusted local counsel across key jurisdictions through our international professional network.<\/p><\/div>

<\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Coordinated management<\/h3>

We handle coordination between the client, foreign counsel, Indian advisers and other professionals involved in the matter.<\/p><\/div>

<\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Documents & communication<\/h3>

We organise documents, facilitate conferences and strategy meetings, monitor developments and provide regular updates.<\/p><\/div>

<\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Strategic focus<\/h3>

We keep the client’s commercial and legal interests at the centre of every decision.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Advisory & strategic role<\/p>

Strategic input throughout the life of the matter<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div>

Our involvement extends beyond coordination. We provide strategic and advisory input throughout the life of the matter, including assessment of legal options, procedural developments, jurisdictional considerations, litigation or arbitration strategy, settlement considerations and the broader implications of the foreign proceeding.<\/p>

Where a matter involves related proceedings, contracts, transactions or regulatory issues in India or another jurisdiction, we consider these aspects as part of the overall strategy.<\/p><\/div>

End-to-end coordination<\/p>

A single point of strategic and legal oversight<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div>

From the receipt of the first notice or commencement of proceedings, through pleadings, hearings, negotiations, arbitration, judgment or award and related enforcement issues, we seek to maintain a clear and coordinated legal strategy.<\/p>

The client is not required to independently manage different legal teams across different jurisdictions, but instead has a single, coordinated point of strategic and legal oversight<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
