What Singhania & Co LLP does

Singhania & Co LLP is a full-service Indian law firm founded in 1969 by D.C. Singhania and headquartered in New Delhi. The firm offers advisory and representational services across M&A, joint ventures, capital markets and IPOs, taxation (direct, indirect, and cross-border), banking and finance including distressed assets and IBC, real estate, infrastructure and projects, energy and natural resources, healthcare and life sciences, intellectual property, insolvency and bankruptcy, competition law, white-collar crime, and private client work targeting high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth Indian families. It operates from 11 Indian offices (Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Indore, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi, and GIFT City) plus a London office that does not practice UK reserved legal activities and a Dubai platform focused on Middle East and Africa corporate advisory and ESG mandates.

The firm is structured as an Indian Limited Liability Partnership, owned and managed by its partners, with no external institutional investors or parent company. It is led by Managing Partners Pradeep Kumar Jain and Rohit Jain and draws on a bench with credentials from IIT, IIM, Big 4 firms (EY, KPMG, PwC, Deloitte), the Competition Commission of India, BSE leadership, and prior in-house roles at major corporates. Marquee clients span global MNCs (Microsoft, BMW, Coca-Cola, Citibank, Eli Lilly, Diageo, Petronas, P&G, Xerox, Mitsubishi), Indian financial institutions (State Bank of India, LIC, IDBI Bank, Axis Bank, Exim Bank, Citibank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Union Bank of India), corporates (Tata Power, Eicher, TVS, Royal Enfield, DLF, Apollo Hospitals, Dilip Buildcon, Essar Group, Indiabulls, Supertech, Parsvnath, PVR, Religare, Rediff, Microsoft, JLL, and IFC/World Bank), and multi-generational Indian promoter families.

Revenue is generated through professional legal fees billed on an hourly basis for advisory work and on fixed-fee structures for transactional mandates such as M&A, IPOs, and dispute resolution. Distribution is partner-led direct engagement across the firm's offices; client acquisition relies on the firm's 50+ year legacy, Asian Legal Business top-20 ranking, referral networks, and a steady stream of thought-leadership content in outlets including IFLR, India Business Law Journal, AsiaLaw, Mint, and Business Standard.
