The India team at Jones Day, which is coordinated from Singapore and draws on expertise across the firm’s international network, has strong experience of advising Indian and international borrowers and lenders on the full range of banking and finance deals. Sushma Jobanputra leads the group from Singapore and handles cross-border debt restructurings and structured finance across the region, working alongside Vinay Kurien. M&A is another area of strength; Dennis Barsky is the key name here, working alongside the ‘fantastic’ Ben Witherall, who advises international and regional clients on inbound investment transactions in India, as well as on capital markets matters.
