Akin has built a distinguished reputation as a trusted ally and key player in the India funds market. For more than two decades, our lawyers have helped clients launch over 100 India-focused funds.

We understand the complex legal, financial and commercial landscapes that define the India funds market. We deliver real-time insights into current fund terms, market practices and investor expectations. We advise on funds domiciled in Singapore, Mauritius, Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), the Cayman Islands and other jurisdictions.

Our lawyers regularly engage with prominent institutional investors in India, gaining a nuanced understanding of their core concerns and strategies. This knowledge allows us to provide effective and dependable counsel to our clients on negotiation and other strategies, ensuring their interests are protected.

We work on a wide range of India strategies: private equity, long-only, credit, special situations, real estate and venture capital (VC).

We are proud of our enduring relationships with numerous India fund sponsors, many of whom have trusted us with their fund launches for more than a decade. These relationships underscore our commitment to client service and our ability to consistently deliver results that surpass expectations.

Akin boasts substantial credibility in the international business and investor communities with our understanding of the complexities of doing business in India, including the interplay between government and business on legal, regulatory and tax matters.

We are actively engaged with the USA-India Chamber of Commerce (USAIC) and frequently travel to India to meet with government and commercial leaders. We do not practice Indian law. We work in close conjunction with India’s leading law firms, leveraging our strong relationships to identify optimal local counsel for our clients’ transactions.
