Financial and corporate

Established in 1962 by the Late Mr. S. N. Gupta, SNG & Partnersis a second-generation full-service law firm and a consistent performer across the banking and finance and capital markets practice areas. The firm maintains offices in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bengaluru. 

The firm is known for its focus on banking, project finance and capital markets, acting for clients such as issuers, underwriters and lenders on domestic and cross border financings, and debt and equity offerings. The firm has worked across a plethora of sectors including banking and financial services, real estate, energy, transport, and oil and gas. 

 

Highlights  

In a landmark mandate, the firm advised the promoters of Stirrup, India's leading Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) communications firm, on the sale of a strategic stake to Singapore's Xcelerate platform. The transaction marks India's first control deal in the ESG consulting sector. It set a precedent by adapting legal documentation to reflect modern ESG governance expectations within Indian corporate law. 

The firm also advised HDFC Capital on a Non-Convertible Debenture (NCD) investment in Eldeco. The transaction was highly complex due to its multi-layered security structure. It required creating and cross-collateralising security interests across numerous project-specific Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). This ensured robust risk mitigation for the investor while enabling large-scale deployment in emerging real estate markets.
