Cross-Border & NRI

Cross-border matters, owned end to end.

Cross-border matters fail for one reason more than any other: nobody owns them end to end. The practice is the single point of responsibility — documents, courts, registries and timelines — and coordinates with advisers in the other jurisdiction where a matter needs them.

How we help

India matters, run for people who aren't in India.

NRI property matters

Purchase, sale, title diligence, tenant and possession issues, partition and transfer of Indian property — handled end to end with powers of attorney structured properly.

Succession & estates

Wills covering Indian assets, succession certificates, letters of administration, probate proceedings and the transmission of shares, accounts and property.

Family matters with an India leg

Matrimonial and maintenance proceedings, custody questions and settlement documentation where one side of the family is overseas.

Inbound business structuring

India-entry questions for foreign companies — entity choice, FEMA-aware investment documentation, commercial contracts with Indian counterparties.

Disputes from abroad

Litigation and recovery in Indian courts conducted for clients overseas — with reporting rhythms that make the distance irrelevant.

Coordination with foreign advisers

Where a matter spans jurisdictions, the practice works alongside your lawyers abroad — each acting within their own authorisation — so advice arrives joined-up.

The approach

Distance is a logistics problem, not a legal one.

Cross-border matters run on three disciplines: documents executed correctly across borders (attestation, apostille, powers of attorney), a single owner for every timeline, and written updates you can read in five minutes in another timezone.

Video conferences substitute for visits; local presence is arranged when a registry or courtroom genuinely requires one.

How an engagement runs

One counsel owns it, and you hear from them on a schedule.

Own

One written scope, one responsible counsel, one place your India matter lives.

Execute

Documents, filings, hearings and registry work completed on the ground — with execution formalities handled for signatories abroad.

Report

Scheduled written updates with the next step, the date and what is needed from you — nothing chased, nothing surprising.
