Irwin Mitchell has been named among the India Business Law Journal’s Top Foreign Law Firms 2025, further cementing its reputation in India-related financial services matters. The firm was described as a “Regional Firm to Watch,” with notable strength in advising on cross-border banking and finance transactions.

This latest accolade marks the continuation of a successful trajectory: in April 2025, Irwin Mitchell’s Banking & Finance partner and Head of India Desk, Akhil Sharma, was listed in IBLJ’s prestigious International A‑List 2025, recognised for driving international transactions and facilitating India’s global engagements.

Under Sharma’s leadership, Irwin Mitchell has advised Indian and international banks on a wide range of financing deals—covering institutional lending, debt structuring, and project finance transactions. The firm has supported clients including MUFG Bank, Axis Bank, Lupin, and the State Bank of India on significant debt financing projects. 

As a Strategic Partner of the Commonwealth Enterprise & Investment Council (CWEIC), Irwin Mitchell plays a proactive role in fostering international trade and investment—particularly within Commonwealth markets. Its global legal reach is strengthened through membership in First Law International and other international networks.
