Founded in 2008, the firm is led by seven partners — Ankit Majmudar, Gautam Bhat, Sunandan Majumdar, Abhik Ghosh, Namrata Sinha, Shriti Shah, and Alok Jain — supported by associates and staff bringing total headcount to the 11–50 range. Its practice is organized across twelve areas: Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity, General Corporate, Infrastructure, Joint Ventures and Collaborations, India Entry and Investment Strategies, Securities Laws, Competition/Antitrust, Banking & Finance, Investigations, Restructurings & Insolvency, and Dispute Resolution, supplemented by knowledge services in the form of regulatory briefings and deal alerts.

The firm serves four primary client segments — Fortune 500 and multinational corporations, private equity funds and financial sponsors, publicly listed companies, and emerging Indian companies and promoters — across sectors including data centres, pharmaceuticals, healthcare technology, recycling and manufacturing, jewellery retail, travel, legal process outsourcing, coworking, enterprise technology, and quick-service restaurants. Notable recent mandates include advising CPPIB on its strategic partnership with CtrlS Datacentres, advising selling shareholders in the TBO Tek and Awfis IPOs, advising Neurealm on the acquisition of Veersa, and assisting on the NCLT-approved merger of UnitedLex BPO with iRunway India.

Quillon operates a partner-led, low associate-partner ratio delivery model that ensures partner-level attention on every matter. Revenue is generated through professional-services fees structured as hourly billing, fixed fees for defined deliverables, or transaction-based fees, negotiated on a matter-by-matter basis with no public pricing disclosure. Distribution is direct partner-to-client engagement supported by thought-leadership content and a multi-channel digital presence, with international mandates delivered in collaboration with foreign law firms on cross-border matters.
