Practice Category: Insurance & Finance

Banking law is the broad term for laws that govern how banks and other financial institutions conduct business. Banks must comply with a myriad of central, state and even local regulations. We have provided services to various banks, Insurance Companies, and financial institutions in all kinds of transactions and regulatory compliances. TYJ has a team that keeps an eye on emerging changes in the laws, be it the banking sector, insurance sector, or finance. We represent many Government entities, private entities and listed entities with respect to their advisory related work, which includes subject matters like SEBI, FEMA, FDI, FATF, CAG, PMLA, SFIO, ED, CBI, and advising our clients in an ordinary course along with various litigation in the said parameters.

We work alongside leading financial institutions to meet the challenges of a constantly evolving regulatory landscape, relating to lending, distressed debt and increasing complexity of financial services regulation. We advise a broad range of stakeholders including domestic and international banks, private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, institutional investors, non-banking financial companies, multilateral institutions, speciality funds, asset reconstruction companies and corporate borrowers.
