Foreign Law Firms in Indian IPOs: Hogan Lovells, Sidley, Latham, Linklaters, White & Case lead

US-based Latham & Watkins closed 12 mandates, evenly split between issuers and bankers.

The firm advised on some of the year’s standout deals, including Swiggy’s ₹11,327 crore IPO, Hero Fincorp, and Travel Food Services. It also co-advised on Hyundai Motors’ record ₹27,870 crore IPO with Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas (SAM) and Hexaware’s ₹8,750 crore issue alongside SAM.

Partner Rajiv Gupta highlighted the firm’s role in shaping disclosures for global investors:

“We’ve built playbooks that anticipate regulatory asks and streamline the drafting process, so clients can focus on telling their story, not decoding rulebooks.”
