India’s legal market is shifting as boutique law firms gain traction, offering specialized services and a more agile approach than traditional full-service firms. Often founded by lawyers from top-tier practices, these firms provide cost-effective, tailored solutions with high partner involvement. As regulatory frameworks evolve and foreign investment increases, they are emerging as strong competitors in a rapidly changing legal landscape.

For this reason, in its March/April 2025 issue, ALB India is spotlighting a list of Firms to Watch for India. These are firms that are small but are already making waves, and either challenging (or with the potential to challenge) much larger law firms for their share of the work.

While submissions are not absolutely necessary—we will combine our stock of industry knowledge with news reports, the general buzz around some firms and publicly available information to select some of the firms on the list—firms are still welcome to send in submissions for consideration.

Only firms with 10 partners or fewer will be considered. The deadline for submissions is Monday, February 10, 2025. Please send submissions to bingqing.wang@thomsonreuters.com.
