METHODOLOGY
During September and October 2024, India Business Law Journal extended invitations to numerous in-house counsel both within India and globally.
Additionally, partners at international law firms with a focus on India were also invited to nominate exceptional Indian lawyers across various categories, including those recognised as the upcoming leaders in the country’s legal landscape.
Nominations and testimonials were received from Indian and global companies as well as international law firms and organisations, including, but not limited to, GIC, Goldman Sachs, Government of Republic of Maurtius, Gowling WLG (Canada), Grant Thornton UK, Herbert Smith Freehills, HEUKING, Hill Dickinson, IKEA, Johnson & Johnson, Jones Day, JPMorgan, JSW Infrastructure, JSW Steel, Kedaara Capital, Kroll, Larsen & Toubro, Latham & Watkins, Levis Strauss India, LG Electronics India, L&T Realty, Mastercard, Mahindra & Mahindra, Mankind Pharma, Maruti Suzuki India, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, McGraw Hill India, Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, Nippon India, NOKIA, ONGC, Oon & Bazul, OYO Hotels & Homes, Patanjali Foods, PayPal, PWC India, Procter & Gamble, Reliance Industries, Saregama India, Schneider Electric, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate, Standard Chartered Bank, Shree Cement, Swiss Reinsurance, Tata Power, Tata Realty & Infrastructure, Tata Steel, United Spirits, Urban Company, Vedanta, Welspun Corp, Western Union Services India, WestBridge Capital and WeWork.
The final list of Future Legal Leaders reflects the nominations received and the references provided by those who made nominations, combined with the India Business Law Journal editorial team’s more than 50 years’ collective experience in documenting and analysing 含羞草社区 legal market.
All Indian private practice lawyers who are currently associated with Indian law firms were automatically eligible for inclusion in the nominations process (except for those lawyers who have been named Future Legal Leaders in previous years) and, as always, there were no fees or any other requirements for entry. Senior counsel and independent lawyers’ chambers were not included. Lawyers working at Indian law firms were not permitted to make nominations.
