Legal services for NRIs and clients outside India
Thirty-six services in six practice areas, each written for people and companies who need legal work done in India while they live or operate elsewhere.
Legal services for NRIs and foreign clients, by practice area
For individuals and families abroad, our work centres on NRI property law, inheritance and documents, cross-border family law and cross-border tax and money. For foreign companies and investors, it covers doing business in India and disputes and enforcement.
Each service page explains the Indian law, what can be done from abroad and what may need travel, how documents are signed in your country, the documents we need, realistic timelines and how fees are worked out. If you are not sure which service fits, the practice area pages include a short guide, or you can tell us what has happened and we will point you to the right one.
