India Desk
Our India Desk is a dedicated multi-disciplinary practice offering for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and corporates with interests in both India and the UK. We combine a deep understanding of India-specific legal, regulatory, and commercial considerations with seamless cross-border execution.
Led by Hetal Sanghvi, who has over a decade of experience supporting prominent Indian private clients and corporates, the practice focuses on international structuring, succession planning, and UK market entry. The team also works with UK-based clients investing into India, as well as Indian clients expanding into or operating within the UK.

A defining feature of the practice is its on-the-ground presence in India, built through longstanding engagement with clients, legal professionals, and business networks across key commercial centres including Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. Combined with established relationships with leading law firms and professional contacts across both India and the UK, this enables the team to deliver seamless, locally informed support with commercial precision and jurisdictional rigour. Fluency in several Indian languages further strengthens the team’s cultural understanding and contextual insight.

Our approach

The India Desk combines technical excellence with practical commercial insight, supporting clients through fast-moving, multi-jurisdictional transactions and complex cross-border matters.
