SNG & Partners Launches GIFT City Office, Marking Strategic IFSC Expansion
The prominent full-service law firm in India, SNG & Partners, is pleased to announce the launch of its GIFT City office, located at Unit No. C-110, 4-Seater Cabin, Ground Floor, NILA SPACES, Plot No. T1-T4, Road 1A, Block 11, Zone 1, SEZ-PA, GIFT City, Gandhinagar – 382355.
With an already established footprint across Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, the announcement of the GIFT City office showcases the firm’s continued investment in building a future-ready national platform, aligned with the evolving needs of domestic and international clients. It also marks the Firm’s presence in a region where regulatory innovation, global capital, and institutional business are converging rapidly.
Over the years, SNG & Partners has steadily built a strong multi-office, multi-disciplinary practice, marked by deliberate and sustained growth rather than rapid acceleration. The Firm has consistently focused on deepening capabilities, strengthening long-term client relationships, and expanding leadership across practices and geographies, while preserving the sophistication and partner-led attention that define its reputation.
While the Firm established its early reputation through a highly regarded Banking & Financial Services practice, it has significantly broadened its corporate law offering over the years, building strong complementary practices across securities law, private equity, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, dispute resolution, private clients, intellectual property, and broader corporate advisory services.
Today, GIFT City represents a natural extension of this strategic growth, offering its established practice services to entities engaged in the financial services and fintech ecosystem. The presence in GIFT City places the Firm at the heart of India’s only International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), where banking assets have grown more than sevenfold in five years, with close to 40 banks now operating from GIFT IFSC. The region continues to attract leading Indian and global institutions and corporates, driven by regulatory clarity, tax efficiency, and the growing maturity of the ecosystem.
Commenting on the development, Rajesh Narain Gupta (Founder and Chairman), along with Amit Aggarwal(Managing Partner – Non-Contentious and Corporate Practice Group), jointly stated:
“For us, this expansion is less about adding one more pin on the map and more about deepening our commitment to being present where our clients need us most. GIFT City has rapidly evolved into one of the most compelling destinations for banks, financial institutions, fund platforms, insurers, and corporates establishing India-facing international operations. Many of our clients have established their IBUs or presence, and it is natural for us to be present there. Our presence here is to ensure our continued connectivity with our clients and to help them undertake their business activities.”
Speaking further, they added,
“As a Firm, we believe our role is to invest ahead of demand so that clients experience continuity, confidence, and immediate access to senior legal judgment. This move is not driven by economics alone, important as those are. It is equally a response to a strong pull from our clients, banking relationships, institutional connections, and cross-border partners who have consistently expressed the need for trusted, on-ground legal counsel capable of delivering sophisticated, business-sensitive advice.”
This expansion follows the announcement of the Firm’s dedicated Japan Desk (in 2024), which services Japanese institutions and cross-border investors, as well as its exclusive referral arrangement with RK Dewan & Co., a Pune-based intellectual property firm, enabling SNG & Partners to offer an integrated advisory platform (in 2025).
The GIFT City office will focus on advising clients across a range of practice areas, including cross-border banking, fund structuring, financial services regulation, fintech, inbound and outbound investments, and international commercial arrangements.
With this launch, the Firm now has a presence in four cities and eight offices, led by 30 Partners.
The launch of the GIFT City office underscores SNG & Partners’ continued commitment to expanding its footprint in key financial hubs and strengthening its ability to support clients in India’s rapidly evolving financial and regulatory landscape.
