To help our clients compete on a global scale and
prosper from the ever increasing business opportunities existing between Canada
and India, Bennett Jones has established a group of strategic business and
legal advisors who provide a full range of legal services and strategic advice
to Indian organizations interested in expanding into the Canadian market or
investing in Canadian opportunities as well as assisting Canadian clients in
understanding and pursuing the incredible opportunities available in the rapidly
growing Indian market.
The India practice group is led by Raj Sahni in
Toronto with Kasi Rao as the firm's Senior Advisor on India, and comprises the
expertise of advisors from multiple practice areas, including public policy,
energy, environmental and climate change, international trade and investment,
taxation, technology, public-private partnerships, real estate, employment and
immigration, insolvency and restructuring, and corporate finance and
acquisitions, as well as manufacturing and operational related advice. We offer
clients a full-range of legal and strategic business advisory services to meet
the diverse needs of our clients.
We have assisted clients on numerous mandates
relating to India, including: outsourcing and technology licensing agreements
involving India's largest outsourcing companies, a merger and acquisition
transaction involving one of India's largest oil companies and a Canadian
multinational, advising on carbon emissions reduction projects and carbon
credits involving a large Indian multinational, advising one of India's largest
food processing companies on trademark and intellectual property issues in North
America, and advising an Indian engineering company with respect to a large
Canadian power project.
