Rajesh Narain Gupta, managing partner of SNG & Partners, told India Business Law Journal that International Law Chambers had attracted its first client: Doha Bank.
Explaining why the firm chose to set up in Doha, Gupta said: “We have been advising certain banks and business houses in Qatar and realized that there is a huge opportunity … There is a substantial India interest in Qatar … There is an expectation of world football taking place in Qatar in 2022, which implies huge infrastructure development including hospitality.”
SNG & Partners has a licence to practice foreign law in Singapore, where it opened an office in July 2014 and has two lawyers. SNG & Partners was formed in early 2013 through the merger of two firms headed by brothers Rajesh and Sanjay Gupta.
