Corporate/Commercial Advisory and M&A
Corporate/Commercial Advisory and M&A are one of the core areas of practice at Dhir & Dhir Associates. The last two decades have seen Indian businesses emerge from traditional slow organic growth to a much faster inorganic growth on the back of a flurry of acquisitions, takeovers, mergers and amalgamations. This has been facilitated by successive liberalization of the economy, unshackling of business from regulatory and government control, increasing access to domestic and foreign capital and other supportive government policies.
