About

Founded in 1999 in Bengaluru, Krishnamurthy & Co. (K Law), has become a major player in the Indian legal market today. The firm is one of the premier full-service law firms in India providing top-notch, comprehensive legal and regulatory advisory, transactional legal services, and dispute resolution support across a broad spectrum of practice areas and sectors. K Law has, in a relatively short spell of just over two decades, transformed itself into a national player with a rapidly expanding practice footprint in mergers and acquisitions, private equity, banking and finance, dispute resolution, intellectual property, projects, media and entertainment and real estate. The firm now has a strength of 85+ accomplished and committed lawyers across offices in Bengaluru, Mumbai, New Delhi and Chennai. Since its inception, the firm has grown exponentially into a full-service law firm, rendering exceptional legal services to its clients. K Law assists its clients by advising in structuring commercial transactions (both domestic and cross-border), obtaining governmental and regulatory approvals, drafting and negotiating transaction documents and implementing transactions in India. The adroit team of lawyers assists several national and international clients in dispute resolution proceedings while representing them in diverse fora including courts, tribunals and other judicial authorities across India. The prime motive of the firm is to nurture relations while delivering quality services to its clients. It is ensuring an edge over its peer organisations with the unmatched level of partner attention and involvement in each matter. Integrity, assurance, confidence, experience and an overarching sense of service are some of the key elements that are the foundation of K Law. The firm’s approach is client-centric, solution-oriented, service-driven and aimed at value-optimization through high partner-attention. The motto of the firm is “nurturing relations, delivering quality”. As such, its competitive advantage lies in its unmatched level of partner attention and involvement in each matter, which when complimented by its client-centric, solution-oriented, commercial approach towards service delivery and high standards of integrity and professional ethics, are difficult to replicate. What really differentiates the firm from the crowd is its relentless focus on relationships as opposed to transactions. The firm focuses on relationships not transactions. The focus is on service, walking the talk and ensuring integrity every step of the way. The high level of partner involvement and attention, the commercial perspective, the client-centric approach and value optimization that are at the heart of the firm’s foundation allows us to ensure that nothing but the highest quality of services are rendered to the clients each and every time. ### Languages - English - Hindi (and several Indian regional languages)
