India

Jenner & Block’s India Practice is uniquely positioned to partner with Indian clients and law firms on complex disputes and investigations. Over the past few years, we have significantly invested in growing our capabilities for clients in India, and we regularly represent Indian clients in the United States and overseas in high stakes matters.

Our team has extensive experience in international arbitrations throughout the world; litigation proceedings (both in the United States and the United Kingdom); high-profile criminal and regulatory investigations by global authorities, including the US Department of Justice, US Securities Exchange Commission, and UK Serious Fraud Office; and enforcement and vacatur proceedings in relation to arbitration awards and court judgements.

What sets us apart is not merely our substantive knowledge of the various disputes and investigative areas in which we practice, but the client-centric approach we bring to everything we do. We immerse ourselves in our clients’ business to move beyond being merely a legal advisor to playing the role of true strategic partner.

With team members who have lived and worked in India and are India-qualified, we bridge legal expertise with a deep understanding of the Indian legal and business landscape. We have many close relationships with Indian counsel, recognizing that many clients prefer their domestic and foreign counsel to work closely together. We travel to India multiple times a year and are active participants in Indian legal organizations.

A Leader in Litigation

As a recognized leader in litigation, Jenner & Block brings over a century of principled and effective advocacy to complex, novel, and high-stakes disputes. Our team of nearly 400 trial lawyers, including 9 fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, has a proven track record in state, federal, and English courts, as well as global arbitration tribunals. Driven by a commitment to integrity and professionalism, Jenner has the credibility and trust essential for effectively defending and advancing our clients' interests in contentious matters worldwide.

A Trusted Authority in Investigations and Compliance Matters

Jenner & Block is a recognized authority in investigations and compliance matters, assisting companies and their leaders through critical and sensitive challenges. Our expertise includes Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and corruption; culture risk and sensitive investigations; data privacy and cybersecurity incidents; fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes; antitrust violations; sanctions and export controls; national security issues; and much more.

Our cross-border team, which includes partners across the United States and in our London office, has experience working on investigations spanning many continents and jurisdictions. Our team includes the former Associate Attorney General of the United States, the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the US Department of Justice, nearly 20 former Assistant United States Attorneys and US Department of Justice prosecutors, as well as former members of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the White House Counsel’s Office, and other government entities. This experience at the highest levels of government gives our lawyers the credibility necessary to effectively and confidentially resolve the most serious criminal and regulatory issues our clients face. We also offer compliance counseling to help clients embed ethical values and strengthen integrity programs to protect and promote long-term business success.

Navigating Government Controversies for Global Corporations

Our Government Controversies and Public Policy Litigation team navigates existential, bet-the-company crises for global corporations, managing legal strategy, government relations, and communications relating to investigations involving US state attorneys general, the US Congress, and legislatures around the world. We have teams dedicated to state attorneys general investigations, congressional investigations, and other state and federal enforcement actions.

Recognizing that, increasingly, our clients face simultaneous legal threats—often facing civil litigation and regulatory actions, on the same subject that Congress, state attorneys general, and other legislatures around the world are examining. It is imperative that businesses and institutions approach these different forums with a consistent voice and a 360-degree worldview: any daylight or disparities can quickly undermine critical strategic objectives. Against this backdrop, Jenner provides clients with a comprehensive strategy to address the issues across proceedings. In the last year alone, we have prepared for public hearings and forums in the US Congress, and across North America, Europe, South Korea, and Australia.
