Juris Corp is one of India’s most established independent law firms, with a particularly strong reputation in banking, finance and financial services regulation. As the firm approaches its silver jubilee, it continues to build on a platform that combines transactional, regulatory, contentious and restructuring expertise, enabling it to advise clients across the full lifecycle of complex financial and commercial matters. The firm’s multidisciplinary team includes lawyers with backgrounds in law, finance, accounting and company secretarial practice, allowing it to deliver commercially focused advice on sophisticated domestic and cross-border mandates.

Over the past year, Juris Corp has continued to strengthen its position in the financial services market through its involvement in several of India's most significant financing, refinancing and restructuring transactions. The firm's banking and finance team remains a cornerstone of its practice, advising leading domestic and international banks, financial institutions, export credit agencies, investment funds and corporate borrowers on large-scale syndicated financings, external commercial borrowings, structured finance transactions, aviation financings and securitisations. Its deep familiarity with Indian banking regulations, foreign exchange laws and cross-border financing structures continues to make it a trusted adviser on complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions.

Alongside its traditional banking strengths, the firm has seen continued growth in aviation finance, an area in which it has become increasingly active through its involvement in aircraft acquisition and leasing transactions involving GIFT City structures, international lenders and major aviation stakeholders. The practice has also benefited from the firm's longstanding expertise in regulatory and financial services matters, particularly those involving evolving frameworks governing cross-border lending, financial products, derivatives, foreign exchange controls and emerging market structures.

Juris Corp has also continued to expand its capabilities in capital markets, dispute resolution and restructuring and insolvency. The firm regularly advises on debt capital markets transactions, securitisation structures and market-standard documentation initiatives, while its disputes team is increasingly involved in high-value shareholder, insolvency and cross-border commercial disputes. At the same time, its restructuring and insolvency practice remains active on significant creditor-side mandates, distressed asset restructurings and insolvency proceedings before the Supreme Court of India, NCLAT and NCLT.

A defining feature of the firm's practice is its ability to bring together lawyers from different disciplines to address complex mandates that span financing, regulatory, insolvency and contentious issues simultaneously. This integrated approach has enabled Juris Corp to remain at the forefront of many of the most sophisticated transactions and disputes in the Indian market, while continuing to deepen its relationships with leading financial institutions, corporates and market participants both in India and internationally.
