Stephenson Harwood named among 'key players' in India Business Law Journal's annual Top Foreign Firms publication

Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has been named among the 'key players' for India-related legal matters by India Business Law Journal's Top Foreign Firms 2024 publication. The firm was recognised alongside 19 other leading international law firms within this category.

This is India Business Law Journal's 18th annual survey to determine the foremost foreign law firms for India work. The report draws on analysis of more than 600 law firms globally, and the results are based on extensive consultations with India-focused corporate counsel and partners at Indian law firms, and market research by the publication's editorial team.

Commentary in the publication’s report highlighted the team’s expertise, with one client saying “I would rate Stephenson Harwood very highly compared to others we have used …they have been able to provide practical advice… and are very prompt in their responses."

In addition, one of the key members of Stephenson Harwood's Global India Group, Diwakar Agarwal, a Dubai-based corporate and commercial partner, was described as “very impressive, prompt, practical, committed, efficient, well networked in the Middle East, and extremely trustworthy.”

Kamal Shah, head of the firm's India group, commented, "I am extremely pleased to see, once again, our firm  ranked as one of the elite international law firms for India work. This is testament to the team's focus and dedication to both local and international clients that operate within the country."

Stephenson Harwood's global India group regularly advises Indian banks, businesses and entrepreneurs on transactions and disputes relating to activities both in India and across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

The multi-disciplinary team advises on banking and finance, corporate, commercial and M&A, equity capital markets, general commercial litigation, international arbitration, and private wealth matters, and covers a range of sectors including aviation, energy and natural resources, financial services, life sciences, marine, trade and offshore and technology.
