S&R Associates

What S&R Associates does

S&R Associates is an Indian law firm established in 2005, headquartered in New Delhi with a second office in Mumbai. The firm provides full-service legal advisory to both Indian and international clients across practice areas including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, banking and finance, competition and antitrust law, investment funds, litigation and arbitration, regulatory compliance, real estate, tax, and sector-specific work in clean energy, technology/media/telecommunications, and private equity. Its lawyers are admitted to practice in India and many have prior experience in the United States, United Kingdom, and Singapore, enabling the firm to deliver international-quality legal advice on India-focused transactions and regulatory matters.

The firm's core offering is bespoke legal advisory delivered through its partners and counsel, with no proprietary technology or productized services. Lawyers have advised on significant Indian transactions, and the firm has been consistently recognized as a leading practice by Chambers Global, Chambers Asia Pacific, IFLR1000, Legal500, and the RSG India Report. Recent publications demonstrate active involvement in high-profile regulatory matters, including the Supreme Court's Amazon v. CCI decision and FEMA amendments enabling 100% FDI in the Indian insurance sector.

S&R Associates operates as a private partnership, with revenue generated through professional services fees (hourly, matter-based, or retainer arrangements, typical of law firms). The go-to-market approach relies on industry recognition, legal directory rankings, thought-leadership publications, and referrals rather than traditional sales motions. Customer segments are horizontal, spanning Indian corporates and international investors requiring Indian law advisory, with no disclosed customer concentration or revenue figures.
