Charles Russell Speechlys named a ‘Firm to Watch’ by India Business Law Journal

Charles Russell Speechlys was named as a ‘Firm to Watch’ in the India Business Law Journal’s (IBLJ) flagship survey of leading foreign law firms for India-related work.

The research was further supplemented by public records, news reports, and conversations with in-house counsel and Indian law firms to verify each firm’s standing with Indian clients worldwide.

Its ‘Firms to watch’ category comprises 16 promising firms, including Charles Russell Speechlys, and a further 18 regional contenders.
