Paul Hastings Again Recognized as a ‘Significant Player’ in the Indian Market

The India Business Law Journal has once again named Paul Hastings LLP a “Significant Player” in its report on “The Foreign Firms Leading on India” for 2026.

The publication’s findings are the result of a rigorous evaluation of more than 600 global law firms that have handled India-focused matters in the past year. Based on detailed research, public record analysis and extensive input from in-house counsel and Indian law firms, the report honors those “whose work demonstrates commitment, dedication and engagement with the Indian market.”

In recognizing Paul Hastings, India Business Law Journal noted the firm’s work in advising its clients “on a broad range of India-related commercial, regulatory and strategic initiatives.”

Clients hailed Private Equity partner Ferish Patel and the Paul Hastings team as “thoughtful and focused on achieving practical outcomes.”

Paul Hastings has deep and wide-ranging experience advising on India-related mandates across core practice areas, including mergers and acquisitions, regulatory counseling, internal investigations, intellectual property, project finance, tax, employment and national security. Our deep bench of cross-disciplinary India practitioners are uniquely positioned to advise on high-stakes, cross-border matters that cut across industries and regulatory regimes.

“I am delighted that our India practice has once again earned this recognition by the India Business Law Journal,” said partner Ronak D. Desai, who leads the firm’s India practice. “It is a humbling testament to the talent of our lawyers and to the deep trust our clients place in us on their most complex matters between India and the United States.”
