Founded in 2019, AP & Partners is a New Delhi-based law firm with seven partners, including senior partner Anand Prasad and managing partner Moksha Bhat. The firm is recognised for its work in corporate and M&A, private equity, and restructuring and insolvency, with a particular focus on the technology sector.
Highlights
Recent examples of the firm’s deal work include advising Info Edge, a significant shareholder, following the acquisition of a controlling 52% stake in Greytip Software by Apax Partners. This transaction was a key deal in the HR-tech space, reflecting the growing trend of private equity investment in the sector.
In another key mandate, the firm advised Ashiana Housing on securing IFC debt financing through a listed Non-Convertible Debentures (NCD) issuance for an affordable housing project. This transaction was complex due to its structure, a venture-style investment into a publicly listed company, which required navigating stringent compliance and governance requirements.
