Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP has been named by India Business Law Journal as a “Leading International Law Firm” for its work in India. For more than 20 years Milbank has been working on significant and milestone assignments in India and is regularly recognized for its market-leading work in that region. Most recently, in January 2015, India Business Law Journal awarded five Milbank matters among its 2014 “Deals of the Year”, including Tata Steel Ltd. on its US$1.5 billion bond offering, one of the largest bond offerings in India in 2014; and the Bharti Airtel US$2 billion dual currency bond offering which was the largest bond offering ever by an Indian company as well as the first dual currency securities offering by an Indian company.
India Business Law Journal bases its international law firm rankings on interviews with corporate counsel and independent research into law firms’ client matters, as well as submissions from law firms under consideration.
Partner and co-head of the India practice, Naomi Ishikawa, who has led the deal teams on a number of Milbank’s India-based transactions, said, “We’re honored to make the top of India Business Law Journal’s list, and look forward to continuing to support our clients with their complex and innovative transactions – in India, Southeast Asia, and across the region.”
Partner James Grandolfo, who co-heads the India practice along with Ms. Ishikawa, added, “We thank India Business Law Journal for recognizing our work in a variety of significant and often milestone assignments for clients across India. We are excited to be playing an important role in the development of the international debt capital markets for India-based corporates.”
Milbank continues to win awards in Asia, including recently being named Chambers Asia Pacific’s “Indonesia International Law Firm of the Year” for the second time in three years. In 2014 Milbank won the accolade for Singapore. In addition to winning Chambers awards for three years in a row, Milbank was named IFLR Financial Law Review’s “Most Innovative US Law Firm in Asia”. This string of awards reflects not only Milbank’s extensive experience in the region, but also its commitment to excellence in the provision of legal services in India, Southeast Asia and across the Asia-Pacific region.
