Financial and corporate

Founded in 2000, CSM IndusLaw is well known in the Indian legal market with a diversified financial and corporate practice. The firm has offices in Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi and NCR, Hyderabad and Mumbai.The firm is a CMS member firm since 2025. 

The firm is active in banking and finance, capital markets, M&A, project development and restructuring and insolvency. The firm boasts a particularly strong private equity practice. The firm represents clients across a broad range of sectors including energy, real estate, oil and gas, transport, industrial and manufacturing, technology and telecommunications, retail, and banking and financial services. 

 

Highlights  

A key capital markets mandate saw the firm advise a consortium of six book-running lead managers, including Kotak Mahindra Capital and JP Morgan, on the landmark IPO of Vishal Mega Mart. The offering was one of the largest in India's retail sector, marking a milestone for organised retail with its pan-India network of 611 stores. 

In a separate landmark transaction, the firm advised on the complex corporate restructuring of Groww, a major fintech startup, to shift its domicile from the US to India through a National Company Law Tribunal (NCLTapproved amalgamation. This "reverse flip" which involved converting the US holding company into its Indian subsidiarywas a significant milestone, establishing Groww as one of the largest startups to successfully relocate its legal base to India.
