Asia Law Offices

What Asia Law Offices does

Asia Law Offices (ALO) is a full-service Indian law firm operating as a partnership-structured LLP, founded in 1992 in New Delhi as New Delhi Law Offices (NDLO) by P.S. Dasgupta and rebranded to its current name in 2011 to reflect its multi-jurisdictional presence. The firm delivers legal and taxation services across 15 practice areas including Corporate and Commercial (M&A, joint ventures, private equity, project finance), Dispute Resolution (litigation, domestic and international arbitration), Banking and Finance, Intellectual Property, Energy and Infrastructure, Real Estate, TMT, Restructuring and Insolvency, Trusts and Estates, and Regulatory Disputes. ALO advises foreign multinationals entering India, Indian corporates, public and private sector banks, power sector utilities, and high net worth individuals, with documented involvement in transactions aggregating to USD 200 million in real estate construction and approximately USD 200 million in private equity fund investments.

The firm operates with a partner-led service delivery model in which every matter is supervised by a partner with more than 15 years of experience, and emphasizes cost-efficient, commercially aligned legal strategy. Its technology posture is non-proprietary: ALO does not disclose specific platforms, instead citing "secure technology and information sharing protocols" for client data confidentiality. Revenue is generated through professional service fees (hourly billing, fixed fees, and retainer arrangements) on a quote-based engagement model; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. ALO markets through its website, LinkedIn and Twitter presence, published legal analysis, and participation in international investment forums and business delegations (e.g., Tashkent International Investment Forum, GITEX Global, Smart Cities India Expo).

Geographically, ALO operates from 8 offices across 6 countries spanning 3 continents: three Indian offices (Defence Colony and Panchsheel Park in New Delhi, plus Chandigarh), a regional headquarters in Dubai (UAE), and offices in Copenhagen (Denmark), Durban (South Africa), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), and Cairo (Egypt), with the latter four delivered through strategic collaborations with local law firms (Solid Law Firm, An Phu International Law, Pather & Pather Attorneys, and Aumento Advokatfirma). Headcount is reported as over 40 lawyers, consultants and professionals, and the firm is owned and governed by its founding and senior partners (P.S. Dasgupta, Rakesh K Ojha, Arindam Ghose, Joydeep Nath, Nitin Gupta) with no disclosed external institutional investors.
