Burges Salmon supports Indian law firm Khaitan & Co on deal
Burges Salmon has supported Indian law firm Khaitan & Co, part of Burges Salmon’s International Preferred Firm Network, in advising its client Firstsource Solutions UK Limited, a London-based business process services firm and a wholly owned subsidiary of Firstsource Solutions Limited (India), on its acquisition of Scotland-based Ascensos Limited.
In collaboration with Khaitan & Co, who led the transaction on behalf of Firstsource and otherwise provided advice on matters pertaining to Indian law, Burges Salmon’s corporate and M&A team advised on the UK aspects of Firstsource’s acquisition with a team led by partner Malcolm Donald and senior associate Scott Fyfe.
Mr Donald said: “Doing business in the UK for the first time is as exciting as it is complex, and it’s been a pleasure to support Khaitan & Co and Firstsource on this significant acquisition. The transaction demonstrates our commitment to nurturing relationships with our Preferred Firm Network and we’ve enjoyed working with the whole team at Khaitan & Co to service its client’s global needs and help it fulfil its ambitious expansion plans into new markets.”
