IFLR1000 is delighted to announce the shortlists for the inaugural IFLR1000 India Awards.
The IFLR1000 India Awards caps off months of research into the Indian market and its most defining and innovative transactions, along with the individuals and teams behind them.
This is the inaugural IFLR1000 India Awards and compliments the latest IFLR1000 India rankings. The transactions shortlisted in the awards showcase the most notable deals out of the market that closed between May 31 2019 and May 31 2020. The awards recognise legal innovation in setting market precedents, interpreting new legal frameworks and introducing the tools and instruments that will develop practice and facilitate investment.
Winners will be announced on September 2, 2020.
There will be no physical event for this year’s awards due to issues created by COVD-19 but winners will be announced online and we will be producing digital content analysing award winners. For more details please contact: Anicette Indiana - anicette.indiana@euromoneyasia.com
