Tatva Legal enters the rankings this year having made the most of its grand entrance into the market last year. Striving to shed its tag of a breakaway firm in a crowded market, the firm has successfully established a foothold in the corporate work in the country. Clients are impressed with the firm's work ethic and innovation: "I think they're certainly conservative as a whole but they're willing to research opportunities and transactions rather than going with the status quo. If that defines innovative, they would be. It's not that they're risk-takers or have loose advice - they're still conservative but are happy to do the hard work on looking into potential transactions." A high-profile transaction was the firm's representation of Coffee Day Resorts in a round of fund raising from KKR, Standard Chartered Private Equity and New Silk Route Partners. Headed by partner N K Dilip, this deal was valued at $200 million and was completed in 2010.
