Trilegal
Trilegal is a full
service law firm advising on all aspects of corporate and commercial
law in India. Including the partners, the
firm currently has over 100 lawyers across their offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
The firm provides legal advice in a wide variety of practice areas
including infrastructure, energy, oil and gas, water, general corporate
advice, technology and IT enabled services, mergers and acquisitions,
banking and finance, media and entertainment, telecoms, employment,

The firm was established in 2000 and,
despite its recent mutual referral arrangement with Magic Circle Firm -

of its early days. Most lawyers in the firm are below 40 years of
age and there is an almost 50:50 balance between men and women.
