Founded in 2019, local boutique SD Partners is active in the financial and corporate space and has offices in Gurgaon and Mumbai.
The firm is
recognised for its M&A team, which regularly advises clients on transaction structuring and negotiations. The team is experienced in sectors including information and technology,
defense and manufacturing. The firm also has strengths in restructuring and insolvency, which often acts for insolvency professionals and advises on matters such as distressed acquisitions and disposals.
In restructuring and insolvency, the firm acted
as the
administrator on a deal involved assistance in claim verification, including claims related export promotion capital goods scheme, drafting of the process documents and review of the resolution plans submitted by 6 bidders in the process.
Simultaneous negotiation with 6 bidders was extremely challenging.
This is also a peculiar case where the plan approval application was reserved for orders and then de-reserved as one of the members of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) was transferred. The plan approval process was once again reinitiated before a new bench of NCLT.
