Policy and Regulatory Affairs

Combining our legal expertise with sector-focused knowledge, we take pride in remaining part of the policy discourse that shapes effective lawmaking, especially within the financial services sector. We frequently make representations to financial sector regulators, including the SEBI, the RBI, IRDAI, and the IFSCA, bringing industry insight to the knowledge of the regulators to serve the interest of the industry and bring the viewpoints of a variety of stakeholders into the regulator’s consideration.

 

Members of our team have experience working in industry, government or within leading financial regulators. We bring invaluable insights to our clients into the internal workings of the regulators, the underlying policies which shape their approach and the sensitivities of dealing with financial institutions.

Senior members of our team serve on committees constituted by regulators to conceive, draft and implement new laws.
