The Practice

Our market-leading insurance practice provides the full spectrum of legal services to insurers, reinsurers, intermediaries, investment banks, investors and policyholders. We have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the legal, regulatory and commercial issues faced by the insurance industry in India and regularly act on the cutting edge of Indian insurance work.

Our team regularly advises on complex M&A and PE transactions in the insurance sector, as part of growth, market entry or consolidation strategies (or disposals as investors or partners exiting their investments), regulatory matters, insurance registrations, distribution channels and networks, fund raising (public offerings and debt issuances), restructuring, litigation and digital platforms.

We have been recognised as “a go-to firm for insurance matters” in India by Legal 500, which also cites a number of our partners as market leaders in this sector.

The Execution

We are a trusted adviser to several leading international insurers and reinsurers, private equity and sovereign funds and large Indian corporate groups active in this sector.  We have a demonstrated history of acting on some of the most complicated and diverse insurance engagements. Our expertise includes the structuring and execution of market entry and exit strategies and insurance registration; high-value M&A transactions, including cross-border transactions; private equity transactions (acquisition of controlling stakes as well as minority investments and disposals/ exits thereafter); group reorganisations and restructurings; distribution arrangements, including bank-assurance arrangements and digital platforms; outsourcing arrangements; regulatory issues including liaising with the Insurance regulator; initial public offerings; debt issuances; and high-value litigations / disputes.

The Khaitan Advantage

Our in-depth sector knowledge and understanding of the regulatory dynamics together with our innovative and solution-oriented approach allows us to provide robust, focused, practical and innovative solutions for our clients, distinguishing us from our competition in India. In particular, our clients benefit from the breadth of our transactional, advisory and regulatory experience, which means that we can provide clients with perspective on the most complex issues, and our understanding of our clients’ commercial goals, which enables us to deliver a high-quality and responsive service to help our clients achieve their objectives.
