Shakespeare Martineau has launched an ‘India Desk’, following an increase in demand for legal support across the two jurisdictions.

Bringing together a team of specialist lawyers, the new ‘India Desk’ will be acting on a broad spectrum of matters in the UK-India space, for both individual and business clients.

Based in the UK, its specialist dual-qualified team supports those looking to invest in the UK, set up business in India or operate globally, providing tailored advice on international transactions and cross-border disputes as well as supporting individuals looking for tax, family or immigration law advice.

Led by dual-qualified legal director Sneha Nainwal, the team have multi-lingual capabilities with lawyers fluent in the various languages spoken across India and more than 20 languages spoken globally. Sneha said: “India has an incredibly exciting and fast moving economy, with unrivalled opportunities. Because of our reputation for handling international transactions, cross-border disputes and business immigration work, we’ve seen a growing demand for our services in the UK-India space. To meet this demand we’ve pulled together a team who are able to act for businesses, financial institutions, funds and individuals from around the world and have unbeatable connections with premier law firms in India to provide a fully co-ordinated advice on India-related matters and on-the-ground representation to our clients."
