我们熟悉印度的家族企业文化。我们与这些家族企业的内部法务团队和家族成员携手合作,因应企业的所有权和控制权的情况,向他们提供法律意见,确保他们考虑在海外成立的企业的公司架构以及税务和相关事宜上作出合适安排。
我们的团队积极跟踪相关商业和法律动态,因这些动态可能影响到那些在海外扩张的印度公司以及开展印度相关业务的国际企业。另外,我们的律师经常在各种研讨会议上就印度和国际客户感兴趣的话题发表演讲,涉及的主题包括:印度新颁布的竞争法,与集资活动有关的证券法合规,交易结构设计,国际仲裁替代方案,以及可能影响到投资结构的印度税法动态。
尽管印度经济自由化取得进展,但该国快速发展变化的商业、法律和监管环境仍然相当复杂,给市场参与者——尤其是外国投资者——带来独特挑战。这些挑战包括市场准入壁垒、投资资金汇回限制、离岸贷款限制以及纷繁复杂的投资法规。企业若想在这个市场上取得成功,将需要有一套完备的业务策略,并考虑进复杂的商业、法律和监管环境以及各种微妙的文化差异。我们在印度市场已有数十年的经验,这意味着一旦客户有相关需求,我们已明白他们所遇的基本问题,以致能够高效专注地解决客户的具体需求。
美博致力于公益和社区法律服务。我们知道,印度公司对企业社会责任也有类似承诺。因此美博也不遗余力支持这些企业社会责任计划,方式包括在印度市场提供相关的公益法律服务,以及在印度以外通过我们广泛的办事处网络提供相应支持。
