India-UK FTA may see spurt in law firms crossing borders
Mint Kolkata
|July 31, 2025
The India-UK free trade agreement (FTA) is expected to open the doors for law firms to practise in each other's country, particularly in areas such as commercial contracts and international arbitration, said legal experts and practitioners.
Enhanced bilateral trade and investment following the FTA will likely increase the volume of cross-border transactions, driving demand for legal services in mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property and international dispute resolution, they said.
The deal signed on 24 July won several waivers for Indian exporters to the UK while protecting India's interests.
