Nishith Desai Associates

Strong on substance, light on commercial pragmatism

NDA gave us a beautifully reasoned memo on a tech regulatory question, easily the most thorough I've seen. The trouble was it read more like an academic treatise than actionable guidance, and we had to push hard for a clear recommendation. Excellent analysis, but I wanted them to just tell us what to do.

Phenomenal on a cross-border tax dispute

Nishith Desai Associates represented us in an international tax matter and the command of the subject was breathtaking. They cited precedents the opposing side hadn't even considered and the strategy was watertight. This is the firm you want when the question is genuinely hard.

Research-driven advice that actually adds value

Nishith Desai Associates structured our cross-border fund and the depth of thinking was extraordinary. They didn't just answer the question we asked; they anticipated tax and regulatory issues we hadn't even considered. The research papers they shared made our investors more comfortable too.
