Dubai, 3 August 2026 – Global law firm Hogan Lovells Cadwalader retains its position as one of the Top 15 Foreign Law Firms for India-related work in the annual feature and rankings of foreign law firms by India Business Law Journal (IBLJ). This recognition further reinforces the firm's commitment to the Indian legal market, as well as its market leading capabilities to handle complex mandates.
This recognition coincides with the inclusion of Biswajit Chatterjee (Capital Markets/M&A, Dubai), Ajay Kuntamukkala (International Trade, Washington, D.C.) and Kaustubh George (M&A/Capital Markets, Singapore) in the IBLJ 2026 International A-List for their work advising on the international aspects of India-related matters.
Commenting on the IBLJ recognition, Biswajit Chatterjee, Head of the India Practice and Dubai Office Managing Partner, said, "These accolades underscore the strength and depth of our India practice, and the trust of our clients to support and execute complex transactions for them by combining our local knowledge and expertise with the resources of our broad global platform."
The IBLJ report summarises "Hogan Lovells Cadwalader's thriving India offering draws clients in search of expertise across the practice spectrum. Stellar achievements include advising: Meta Platforms, on its USD100 million joint venture with Reliance Industries to develop and scale enterprise AI solutions for Indian and global markets; the lead managers on the USD1.2 billion IPO of SBI Fund Management (the largest Indian IPO in 2026 to date); and international and local lenders on the financing of a combined solar and wind captive power plant in Karnataka."
