This is the third consecutive year that Akin Gump has been named a Firm to Watch by IBLJ. In 2018, it highlighted the firm’s “broad range of practice areas” and its India group that “focuses particularly on representing funds investing in India on their fund structuring and transactional work.” Senior counsel Divya Thakur, previously named by IBLJ to its International A-List (click here for more), and partner Prakash Mehta were noted as key members of the firm’s India team.

Akin Gump was also named last year to IBLJ’s list of Deals of the Year 2017 for serving as legal advisor to Tata Power and ICICI Venture Funds Management on international law in a joint investment platform. (Click here to learn more.)
