Praised by clients for its ‘commercial, collaborative, and responsive’ approach, the corporate and M&A practice at Majmudar & Partners is a solid choice for tech, healthcare, and financial services clients seeking assistance with domestic and cross-border M&A, joint ventures, and disposals, as well as divestments, incorporations, and exits. With broad capabilities and experience handling complex, high-value mandates, the group’s client roster continues to expand to include notable professional services firms, infrastructure businesses, and software companies. Co-leading the department are Akil Hirani and Rukshad Davar, both of whom bring a wealth of expertise to the team; Hirani stands out for his public and private M&A prowess and strengths in foreign investments, regulatory issues, and joint ventures, while Davar is sought after for his aptitude for multijurisdictional mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructurings, alongside slump sales, asset purchases and sales, and private equity investments. Rahul Datta is another name to note, and N. Raja Sujith is no longer at the firm.
