India has also achieved\nremarkable economic development since pursuing an economic liberalization\npolicy in the 1990s. As a result, it is now seen as the most promising market\nfor the world\u2019s companies, including Japanese businesses, and this trend is\nlikely to become even stronger into the future. On the other hand, the fact\nremains that developing a business in India could certainly not be described as\na simple task. The reasons for this vary, including some very complex\nregulations that still remain in force, differences in culture, customs,\ntraditions, negotiating tactics, and inconsistency in the quality of Indian\nattorneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitahama\nPartners\u2019 India Practice Team, led by Japanese attorneys with experience\nworking in major Indian accounting and law firms, provides full support for the\ndevelopment of business in India. We have also established strong networks with\na number of local Indian law firms, supporting Japanese companies by partnering\nwith the best local firm for the size and nature of the matter at hand. In\nparticular, we have abundant experience in Indian matters, including assisting\nJapanese companies to establish a presence in India through M&amp;A, joint\nventures with Indian companies, and other means, as well as setting up\nsubsidiaries, commercial agreements, withdrawal, dispute resolution, and conducting\nvarious types of legal research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Major Achievements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>M&amp;A<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Acquisition of and equity investments in Indian\ncompanies by Japanese companies (automotive component manufacturers, medical\nequipment manufacturers, industrial machinery manufacturers, machine tool\nmanufacturers, and many others)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Joint Ventures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Joint ventures by Japanese companies (automotive\nmanufacturers, processed food manufacturers, plant manufacturers, industrial\nmachinery manufacturers and many others) with Indian companies<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Establishment\nand Restructuring of Local Subsidiaries, Technological Support Agreements, Etc.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Assistance with establishment of Indian subsidiaries by Japanese companies (automotive components manufacturer and many others)<\/li><li>Assistance with integration and re-organization of multiple Indian local subsidiaries by Japanese company (logistics company)<\/li><li>Advisory for technology assistance agreement with Indian company by Japanese company (apparel company)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Withdrawal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Withdrawal by Japanese company (automotive components\nmanufacturer) from joint venture<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dispute Resolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Assistance with a dispute between a Japanese company\nand an Indian company caused by a violation of duty not to compete<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Legal Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Research into regulations related to the power\ngeneration industry in India<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Assistance obtaining approvals for business subject to India\u2019s foreign capital restrictions by Japanese company<\/li><li>Assistance with establishment of subsidiary in Japan by Indian company<\/li><li>Research into legislation related to Indian company moving into Japan<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":0,"parent":1447,"menu_order":148,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"practice-category":[7],"class_list":["post-1451","practice","type-practice","status-publish","hentry","practice-category-region"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>India - Practices - Kitahama Partners<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kitahama.or.jp\/english\/practices\/1451\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"India - Practices - Kitahama Partners\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In India, the population currently exceeds 1.3 billion and is expected to overtake China and become the world\u2019s largest in the near future.
