Spice Route Legal was formed on a handshake between Praveen Raju (a leading Indian M&A lawyer with a focus on Lifesciences and Energy) and Mathew Chacko (a leading Indian TMT and IP lawyer). True to the expertise brought to the table by the two founders, the firm has evolved into a premier Indian full-service law firm with a focus on Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Lifesciences, and Energy & Renewables.
Today, we are a cross-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary law firm that specialises in providing clients with a 360-degree advisory experience – from assisting with complicated mergers & acquisitions, private equity investments, corporate and commercial queries and navigating regulatory hurdles, to advising on IP and Technology mandates which are both contentious and non-contentious in nature. We pride ourselves in our industry expertise and in devising innovative and practical solutions to complex problems, backed by strategic insights and years of experience.
We frequently advise domestic and international companies, investment funds, regulatory authorities and governments on cutting edge cross-border mandates across practice areas, with a focus on Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Lifesciences, and Energy & Renewables. The firm has established extensive global affiliations, working alongside leading international law firms and regularly advising on deals across some of the best law firms in India.
As a modern Indian law firm, we bring a unique sector focused approach to matters – often working together as a group that brings diverse expertise, practice areas and interest to the table. We limit the number of matters that we advise on and try to focus on matters that demand the attention of our highly sophisticated team of lawyers.
In a relatively short span of time, we have built a reputation that places us amongst the best corporate law firms in India, and amongst the leading technology law firms in India.
