India Desk
Our India Desk is a dedicated full service offering for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and corporates with interests in both India and the UK, bringing deep understanding of Indian legal frameworks and business practices and ensuring seamless coordination across jurisdictions.
Our familiarity with local and international markets for the Indian diaspora allows us to act as agile trusted advisers, smoothly navigating fast paced transactions and requirements for coordinated advice.

Edwin Coe LLP is uniquely positioned to serve the legal and tax needs of Global Indian Families, Indian corporates, and UK-based clients with Indian interests. The team is led by Hetal Sanghvi, who has over a decade of experience in advising prominent private clients and successful businesses emanating from India. We have established and nurtured deep relationships with carefully chosen India-based law firms, wealth management offerings, trust companies and private banks to provide our clients with access to trusted and highly regarded professionals.

 

The core team members are highly experienced with clients in India on cross-border matters and UK-based clients entering the Indian market. Our specialists are familiar with business and commercial practices in India, and their experience and networks within the country enable them to keep up-to-date with regulatory changes and developments in relevant jurisdictions.

 

A number of members of the team are fluent in multiple Indian languages and familiar with how Indian families and organisations operate. Our direct engagement on the ground equips us with the insight to anticipate and navigate jurisdiction-specific challenges that may impact our clients.

 

We regularly work with colleagues from Ally Law as well as our wider India-focused network of leading independent firms and advisors across Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, and beyond.
