DWF India Group reaches 100 lawyers

The DWF India Group was formed on Diwali in November 2023 and since then it has grown substantially, now consisting of 108 lawyers from 16 practice areas, 9 sector groups and 9 jurisdictions, providing services to Indian companies, financial institutions and high net worth individuals and families.

Our experienced India Group regularly advises clients on high profile and significant cross-border transactions, projects, disputes and regulatory work across Europe, Asia, North America and Australia. We have lawyers in several jurisdictions in multiple continents with experience working in India or on India related matters across several sector and practice groups. 

Our commitment to excellence in what we do and our team efforts have been the driving force behind our success.

In 2024:

• The group won the Excellence in Law category at the GG2 Leadership Awards in front of the former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
• The group was shortlisted for the award of “Legal Practice of the Year” at the 6th Annual UK-India Awards in 2024
• On 20 June DWF hosted its first ever India client reception in our London office, with over 150 registered attendees
• Dhruv Chhatralia BEM, the head of the DWF India Group, was named to the India Business Law Journal’s International A-List 2024 featuring the world’s top-tier international lawyers outside India
• Gianni Vettorello, Banking and Finance Partner, was successfully elected as president of the Business Forum of Italy in 2024. 

Dhruv Chhatralia BEM, Head of DWF India Group, said "2024 has been a landmark year for India and DWF alike. With a GDP growth rate of 6.5%, India has reinforced its position as a global economic superpower, driven by its vast domestic consumer market and federal initiatives in manufacturing and infrastructure. DWF's India Group has been proud to support this growth, helping Indian businesses and individuals navigate legal complexities and seize cross-border opportunities. We are thrilled to have surpassed 100 lawyers in the India Group, each playing a vital role in this remarkable journey"
