Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has been named a key player by India Business Law Journal for its India-related work for the fourth consecutive year. The firm was recognised alongside 14 other leading international law firms.

India Business Law Journal, a monthly magazine, produces a report of the top law firms every year, which draws on analysis of more than 600 law firms globally. The results are based on extensive consultations with India-focused corporate counsel, and market research by the publication's editorial team.

Commentary in the publication’s report highlighted how the firm “ranks among the top for its commercial approach and responsiveness”, and one client commended the team’s expertise, saying it was “one of the best firms I have worked with”.

Stephenson Harwood's India team, led by partner Kamal Shah, regularly advises Indian banks, businesses and entrepreneurs on transactions and disputes relating to activities in India, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The multi-disciplinary team advises on M&As, IPOs, litigation, arbitration, finance matters, and covers sectors including aviation, finance, financial services, pharmaceuticals, energy and natural resources, technology, outsourcing and marine and international trade.
