Since 2000, when the deregulation of foreign investment in India began, we have sent lawyers to Indian law firms to build close relationships and familiarize ourselves with unique local practices. This has enabled us to handle a full range of matters related to India. As a pioneer in India practice, we have been involved in typical transactions such as establishing subsidiaries and joint ventures, as well as acquisitions. We have also handled complex M&A schemes using investment methods such as share options and class shares, and a combination of equity participation by the parent company and loans, acquisitions of listed companies through tender offers for shares, and large-scale projects that require filings with the Indian competition law authority. Additionally, we have advised on resolving labor disputes and establishing governance systems at local subsidiaries, managing disputes with joint venture partners, dissolving joint ventures, handling various disputes after business expansion into India, and addressing crisis management and compliance matters such as misconduct by local management and bribery by executives and employees.
To effectively handle complex M&A and dispute/crisis matters, we have established a structure that allows us to provide legal services based on the latest Indian practices at all times by having Indian lawyers working full-time at our Tokyo and Singapore offices, sending our lawyers to major law firms in key Indian cities, and continuously accepting trainees from these firms.
We have also built close relationships not only with major Indian law firms but also with distinctive and leading local Indian firms, allowing us to provide comprehensive and flexible services tailored to the content, scale and budget of each case.
As a leading firm in Japan for Indian matters, Mori Hamada is committed to continually enhancing our support structure for our clients.
