Financial and corporate

Founded in 2000, Juris Corp is active across the financial and corporate space with banking and finance being the firm’s key strength area. The firm has offices in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru. 

The firm’s flagship banking practice has expertise in an array of matters such as regulatory compliance, merger and acquisition, and leveraged, trade and structured finance.

The corporate team acts on mergers, acquisitions and fundraising, and is often active in the technology sector. On the restructuring side, the firm is often engaged by bondholders. 

 

Highlights  

In a landmark banking mandate, the firm advised a large American bank acting through its offices located globally, including, inter alia, India on Indian law aspects in relation to a first-of-a-kind revolving, uncommitted, true-sale account receivables purchase program of Cisco Systems, acting through its offices located globally, including, inter alia, India. Such a cross-border assignment process is a rarity in the market.  

Recent examples of the firm’s project finance work include advising Bank of Baroda in relation to the external commercial borrowing of up to USD 550 million for part refinancing of an existing external commercial borrowing. The transaction was unique as the refinancing was considered as a fresh European Central Bank. 

In restructuring and insolvency, the firm advised and represented a Bank in a petition under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, against a Corporate Debtor and the Corporate Guarantor in National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi and National Company Law Tribunal, Principal Bench. The matter was complex and a very distinctive case before the NCLAT which raised important and complex issues concerning application of the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993.
