Words of appreciation

I have known Shantanu Mohan Puri and SMA LEGAL since 2008 when I had just started with my assignment in Mumbai. Since then I have had numerous occasions to seek SMA LEGAL’s counsel and Shantanu’s advice and assistance on matters ranging from recovery of amounts due to Swiss Companies, Tax advice, Incorporation of companies, Project structuring, Intellectual Property Rights, Banking laws, Due Diligence, Indian Company Law, Mergers and Acquisitions to name a few.

I have always found the advice rendered clear, concise, well researched and sound and the work done reflecting excellent quality, a high sense of expertise, integrity and honesty.
