Touchstone Partners is a law firm based in India that provides legal services to international and domestic clients. The firm specializes in various practice areas and serves major international firms for transactional mandates.

Touchstone Partners

Touchstone Partners (formerly Platinum Partners) is the preferred counsel in India for many Fortune 500 corporations, sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors and financial sponsors, and has advised them on some truly ground-breaking transactions. 

With an overwhelming majority of international institutions as our clients, we are rated by Chambers and Partners for cross-border transactional expertise. We take pride in being specialists in our core practices of Corporate / M&A, Private Equity / Venture Capital, Structured Finance, Fund Formation and Competition / Antitrust. We also handle high stakes contentious matters including regulatory and internal investigations with the support of empanelled counsels on our roster.

Our ability to deliver value lies in our deep understanding of the cross-border transactional ecosystem and our experience of analysing risk for international institutions as they seek to navigate the regulatory and taxation framework that underpins their investments in India. We staff our matters with the optimum mix of lawyers who through a combination of individual initiative, sound judgement and collective teamwork are able to, time and time again, assist our clients in meeting their objectives.

In October 2023, the Supreme Court delivered a judgement in relation to group captive generating power plants set up by companies, which provided much needed clarity about the criteria to be fulfilled by C&I group captives with respect to both ownership/shareholding and electricity consumption requirements. The attached infographic provides a brief recap of the main aspects of the judgement.

Many ambiguous aspects of the new Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act need to be clarified by way of rules that have been forthcoming for some time but now seem like they will only be finalised after the general elections this summer. In this Touchstone Take, we identify four specific areas where the rules need to provide more detail for both domestic and global stakeholders to prepare themselves for the new data regime.

A warm welcome to Anirudh and Pranay as we strengthen our partnership.

Our recent Touchstone Partners team meeting introduced researched theories that indicate a direct correlation between reading realistic fiction and building 'EQ' - emotional intelligence, through learning from simulated experiences in fictional texts that mirror real life scenarios. Applying theory to practice supports our ability to analyze people and understand organizational dynamics in building a cohesive culture. Critical conversations such as this emphasize our beliefs, commitment, and accountability for our roles in building an accomplished team, profound purpose at Touchstone, and the far-reaching impact we come to bear.
