Follows ‘Foreign Regional Firm To Watch’ Recognition in 2023

Irwin Mitchell partner Akhil Sharma has been recognised by the India Business Law Journal (IBLJ) in its ‘International A-List 2024’ of India specialists around the world.

Akhil, who is a Banking & Finance partner and Head of Irwin Mitchell’s India desk, secured the prestigious ranking based on an extensive nominations process involving lawyers at Indian law firms and general counsel working in firms across the world.

The list also reflects the opinions of India Business Law Journal’s editorial team which has more than 50 years’ collective experience in documenting and analysing India’s legal market.

Akhil Sharma, partner and Head of Irwin Mitchell’s India Desk, said:

“I’m honoured to be included in the IBLJ International A-list 2024 and thankful for the personal endorsements provided by Indian law firms and in-house legal counsel.  Last year, Irwin Mitchell was named by IBLJ as a ‘foreign regional firm to watch for India -related matters’ and collectively these accolades highlight our experience, capabilities and commitment to our India focused clients as the country continues to grow.”
