Recognised by clients for its ‘agility and commercial mindset,’ Trilegal’s corporate and M&A practice continues to maintain a leading market position in India. The group is well-equipped to advise on high-value and high-profile transactions, including public and private M&A, joint ventures, and exits, as well as disposals, divestments, and distressed deals. With a wealth of experience handling the full range of corporate and M&A mandates, alongside its cross-border capabilities, the team has amassed an impressive and expanding client roster, comprised of notable names from the tech, consumer products, and steel and mining sectors. At the helm of the department is Yogesh Singh, who specialises in M&A, foreign direct investments, and exits. He is supported by Nishant Parikh, who stands out for his breadth of expertise that spans buyouts, takeovers, and corporate disputes, alongside restructurings, M&A, and investments. The group also benefits from the aptitude of Delano Furtado, who focuses on entries into India, M&A, and investments and divestments. On the distressed asset front, Ankush Goyal is the key contact in the practice, while Upasana Rao is sought after for her concentration on transactions in the data centre space. Other core members of the team include Harsh Jain, Sridhar Gorthi, and Arnav Dayal, alongside Amit Khansaheb.
