Harrison Clark Rickerbys (HCR), a law firm based in the UK’s West Midlands, has entered into a collaboration agreement with boutique outfit India Law Alliance (ILA)  to meeting the needs of their clients in the UK-India corridor.

In a press release, Nicolas Groffman, an HCR partner, said that he was “keen to access new clients and profile in a territory, like India, that is increasingly becoming important for his clients. Adding local legal capability, in a swiftly emerging country, is imperative for full-service firms like ours with a robust domestic and international practice.”

The four-partner ILA, founded in 2004, has offices in Mumbai and Delhi. It primarily focuses on arbitration and dispute resolution, with additional expertise in bankruptcy and corporate commercial work.

Anupam Dighe, ILA’s founding partner, said in the release that he was “looking forward to sharing professional best practices,” and that he was also keen for his team of lawyers, to benefit from training programs to continue their legal education and international exposure.
