Your Strategic Legal Partner in India, Engineered for the City of London
In the epicentre of global finance and law, the demands on London’s corporations and law firms are relentless. The velocity of transactions, the intricate web of FCA and PRA regulations, and the constant pressure to operate with maximum efficiency create a unique challenge. You need to scale your legal capacity and manage complex cross-border work without compromising the exacting standards of quality and security that define the City. This requires more than an outsourcing vendor; it requires a strategic partner who operates at your frequency. AMLEGALS is that partner. We have engineered a specialized service desk for London, providing seamless, high-calibre legal support in India that is fluent in the language of international finance and regulatory compliance. We function as an integrated extension of your team, allowing you to re-focus your high-value UK talent on strategic advisory and client-facing roles, while we handle the complex, process-intensive legal work with precision and unmatched efficiency.
Our Core Expertise for the London Market
We deliver specialized legal support in the areas most critical to London’s economy.
Financial Contracts & ISDA
The sheer volume of financial agreements is a significant burden. Our team has specific experience supporting the review, negotiation, and management of a wide array of financial contracts, including ISDA Master Agreements, Loan Agreements, Security Documents, and other credit and trading documentation. We help financial institutions clear backlogs, accelerate deal closing, and manage contractual risk with meticulous attention to detail.
Fintech Regulatory Compliance
London is the world’s fintech capital, but innovation is intrinsically linked to regulation. As UK fintechs expand into the vast Indian market, they face a complex regulatory landscape. Our firm provides critical advisory on Indian compliance, including navigating RBI regulations, data localisation requirements, and aligning with the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), ensuring your innovative solutions are built on a compliant foundation.
Data Privacy & GDPR
For any London-based firm, data protection is non-negotiable. We are experts in GDPR and its interplay with Indian law. Our processes are architected for compliance, built around executing robust Data Processing Addendums (DPAs), Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), and conducting Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs). We ensure that any data handling meets the stringent standards of the ICO, giving you complete peace of mind.
Contracts for Multinational Corporations
We provide scalable, sophisticated support for the complex contractual needs of multinational corporations headquartered in London. This includes managing global contract portfolios, drafting and negotiating multi-jurisdictional sales and supply agreements, creating master service agreements (MSAs), and handling intra-group contracts, all while ensuring consistency and compliance across borders.
