Through this synergy with Alpha Partners, we see an opportunity to further build on this foundation and move towards offering a truly 360-degree corporate practice. Alpha's established strengths in corporate structuring, cross-border work, and M&A transactional advisory complement our existing capabilities, enabling us to provide clients with a more comprehensive and seamless corporate offering. This collaboration is aimed at creating a more holistic platform where clients can access end-to-end support across the entire lifecycle of their business and transactions. Additionally Alpha's presence in Dubai will give our cross-border clients greater comfort for assisting them with their legal requirements in UAE.”

Speaking about the synergy, Akshat Pande, Managing Partner at Alpha Partners, said: “At Alpha Partners, we have consistently focused on building a well-rounded and future-ready practice that responds to the evolving needs of our clients. While we have a strong foundation in M&A, corporate and cross-border advisory, this alliance with Aretha Legal allows us to significantly deepen and diversify our litigation and disputes practice and strengthen our South India practice with Prashant, Santosh, Krishnan and Ahaan. Aretha's established strength and credibility in contentious matters, particularly in high-stakes disputes and regulatory litigation, led by Ray Vikram Nath and Aanchal Tandon, bring an important dimension to our overall offering. This synergy enables us to provide a more balanced and integrated legal solution, ensuring that our clients benefit from both robust transactional expertise and a strengthened disputes capability under one collaborative platform.”
