Sidley was named among the “Top Foreign Law Firms” by India Business Law Journal (IBLJ) for the fourth consecutive year. Every year, IBLJ makes a selection of the top 15 foreign law firms for India-related work, based on an analysis of more than 600 law firms worldwide that have recorded deals and disputes with an Indian element in the past 12 months.
In the report, Sidley was lauded as a “heavy hitter for corporate finance matters”, with Singapore partner Manoj Bhargava drawing praise from clients, who described him as “among those very few partners who know how to handle tough clients.”
IBLJ highlighted Sidley’s work on Mindspace Business Parks REIT’s US$625 million IPO, on Adani International Container Terminal’s US$300 million debut bond offering, and on a US$520 million qualified institutional placement (QIP) by Godrej Properties – the largest by a real estate company in India to date.
