India

Pinsent Masons' association with India originates with one of our founding partners, Ralph Mason, who was a partner in a Calcutta law firm in the 1940s. Since the early 1990s, we've had a specialist group dedicated to working and understanding how to do business in India. We are comfortable operating in the linguistic and cultural environment.
