Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Cleary is a go-to firm for several sovereign funds and pension funds investing in India. They are amongst the few white-shoe firms giving importance to strategic India work. We have a good relationship with Cleary’s partners dealing in key India matters and primarily work with them on large inbound investments into India. We have found them to be solution-oriented and methodical with their approaches.'
- 'They understand the Indian legal and regulatory regime and market practice which allows them to preempt issues that could otherwise cause delays and value leakage subsequently. In addition, they seamlessly integrate specialists from their global practice areas (including antitrust, compliance, intellectual property, finance, tax and others) to respond efficiently to the needs of the client.'
