Testimonials

‘Throughout our long association with M/s Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan they have continued to provide us excellent services mostly relating to Indirect Taxes. In this regard, they have provided us multiple legal opinions and have also represented us before various judicial and quasi-judicial forums (all the way up to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India). We have consistently found their services to be extremely high-grade, with their staff and partners having developed a great finesse and expertise in their respective fields. The quality that we would like to especially highlight is that they have always reflected genuine concern and sincerity towards the interests of their clients, enabling them to always put in a bit extra than what would generally be considered conventional or regular.’
‘Although we have had positive interaction with most of their lawyers, we would specifically like to recommend Mr. V. Lakshmikumaran, Mr. L Badri Narayanan, Mr. N. Mathivanan, Mr. S. Vasudevan and Mr. Dhruv Matta for their mastery of the Tax/Legal craft. Not only each of them is a foremost expert in his field, their insight towards the matter at hand and the dedication with which they pursue each task is exemplary.’
