Samvad Partners

Samvād: Partners is a full-service Indian law firm with offices in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi.  We strive to maintain lasting relationships with our clients by understanding their business needs and offering simple and effective solutions to complex legal and regulatory challenges in India.  Samvad coalesced from a merger of regional practices in Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai and expanded to a full-service corporate law firm, with offices in New Delhi and Hyderabad. The Firm has grown steadily over the years to more than 120 lawyers and staff.

We are a partner-led, solution-focused setup and believe that we deliver cutting-edge transactional work in the most non-transactional ways. The firm is a rich mix of domestic and international experiences, as several partners have worked in various international financial centres outside India, including London, New York and Singapore. Given our multi-discipline and flat structure approach, we work seamlessly across all five offices. We are able to anticipate issues better and apply our cross-practice learnings while advising on any issue. With our strong base in corporate and commercial law, we are able to help a wide range of clients from young startups to established multinational Fortune 500 companies, global private equity and venture funds, Indian and international banking and financial institutions as well as the government across various commercial and regulatory needs. The firms’ biggest focus is the ability to deliver quality, across offices, seamlessly and irrespective of where the client is located.

Our partners are highly acclaimed by both Indian and international rankings institutions for demonstrated legal prowess in their respective fields. We have been consistently ranked among the top-tier law firms as a leader in several practice areas. Our thought leadership is reflected through the various publications and articles authored by our team members. Many of our team members are visiting faculty members and guest lecturers in institutes across India. The team at Samvad is consciously and actively involved in policymaking and engages with the relevant stakeholders to this end.  We regularly advise clients on issues arising out of corporate governance, domestic anti-corruption laws as well as foreign anti-corruption laws such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 1977 and the UK Bribery Act, 2010, in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private equity and financing transactions.
