Dinesh Singh Law Associates (DSLA) is a full-service Indian law firm delivering sophisticated cross-border legal consultancy on Indian as well as international jurisdictions to foreign corporations, multinational enterprises, global investors, high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), non-resident Indians (NRIs), diaspora families, and international institutions.
DSLA’s international practice operates on a consultancy-led model. The Firm advises clients on how Indian law interacts with foreign legal systems, international commercial standards, and regulatory regimes. By combining deep Indian legal expertise with comparative jurisdictional analysis—including English, EU, US, and Model Law frameworks—DSLA enables global clients to structure transactions, manage regulatory exposure, and resolve cross-border issues with clarity and predictability.
While DSLA maintains strong litigation and arbitration capability, its primary focus remains on preventive legal structuring, regulatory compliance, and strategic advisory, ensuring that disputes are minimized and, where unavoidable, effectively managed.
Our Core Approach: Cross-Jurisdiction Legal Consultancy
DSLA provides structured legal consultancy that examines:
- Application of Indian law in cross-border transactions
- Interaction between Indian and foreign legal systems
- Comparative regulatory and compliance frameworks
- International contract structuring and risk allocation
- Enforcement and execution implications across jurisdictions
This approach ensures that international clients receive advice not only on Indian legal requirements, but also on how those requirements align with their home jurisdictions and global operations.
