As the global economy has increasingly complex laws and regulations – including India’s corporate, foreign exchange and tax laws, funds need to keep adapting their approach and models to stay relevant and compliant. DSK Legal’s approach combines a robust corporate and regulatory experience with deep industry and market knowledge. We have in-depth experience of investments by domestic and offshore entities and structures designed to accommodate all investor types and requirements, including in highly regulated areas such as pharma and real estate.
DSK Legal has advised various private equity managers and limited partners in connection with setting up alternative investment funds, venture capital funds and foreign venture capital funds across various jurisdictions including India, Mauritius, etc.
We have been advising some of the most active funds in India such as Lightbox Ventures, India Alternatives and National Investment and Infrastructure Fund. We have also been advising most of the top real estate funds in India with respect to all their investments. With respect to real estate funds, we are one of the few law firms that regularly advise on hybrid structures, rather than pure equity or debt deals.
