With a practice spanning more than three decades and a range of industries, S&C has been involved in many of the largest and most significant cross-border transactions and securities offerings involving India and has advised clients in the region in U.S. criminal defense investigations, commercial disputes, bankruptcy and fintech matters.
We advised Tata Motors in its SEC registration and NYSE listing and other clients in offerings by Arvind Mills, Indian Petrochemicals, Ranbaxy and Tata Electric Companies. In the largest foreign investment into India using the reorganization procedures of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, we advised Nippon Steel in its joint venture with ArcelorMittal to acquire and reorganize Essar Steel to form ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Limited. We also advised Goldman Sachs in its joint venture with Kotak Mahindra to provide investment banking services in India, the first such cross-border venture involving prominent financial institutions.
Recently, we helped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles obtain clearance from the Competition Commission of India for its $60 billion merger with Peugeot; advised SVB Financial Group in its sale of SVB India in connection with its Chapter 11 proceedings; advised BofA Securities India as financial adviser to Sanofi India in connection with the demerger of its consumer healthcare business into a legal entity to be listed on the BSE and the National Stock Exchange; and DSP Merrill Lynch Limited as financial adviser to Tata Global Beverages Limited (“TGBL”) in connection with the $825 million demerger of the Consumer Products Business of Tata Chemicals Limited into TGBL.
S&C has extensive experience representing Indian corporations in complex criminal defense investigations involving OFAC sanctions and the FCPA and cross-border litigation and arbitrations. Our lawyers understand the complexities of representing a non-U.S. client before U.S. agencies and use their experience to seamlessly address both legal and commercial issues.
Our clients engage S&C for their most significant matters because they value the depth of experience we bring, as well as the creativity, lateral thinking and range of practice expertise we can apply to novel situations and complex matters.
