Foreign investment and cross-border structuring advisory

Foreign Investment & Cross-Border Structuring

Cross-border transactions bring together different regulatory regimes, tax systems and commercial expectations, often within a single deal. GLOBE LAW & CO LLP advises multinational corporations, family offices, foreign investors, private equity and venture capital funds, and high-net-worth individuals on structuring investments and operations that hold up across jurisdictions.

Our practice covers the full lifecycle of an international investment — from initial entry strategy and regulatory approvals, through deal documentation and financing, to ongoing compliance, restructuring and eventual exit.

Foreign Direct Investment Advisory

We help foreign investors structure their entry into India and Indian businesses plan outbound investment, working across both the automatic and government approval routes. This includes sector-specific advisory, compliance and approval support, and structuring across multiple jurisdictions where a single investment touches more than one regulatory regime.

Cross-Border Corporate Structuring

We design holding company structures, set up overseas subsidiaries and branches, and structure joint ventures and global expansion plans. Where businesses are reorganizing existing cross-border operations or relocating, we advise on the structuring and regulatory steps involved.

International Fund Raising & Capital Transactions

Our team supports clients raising foreign capital and structuring offshore investment vehicles, including private equity and venture capital rounds, investor documentation, cross-border debt financing and security creation across jurisdictions.

FEMA & RBI Regulatory Advisory

We advise on FEMA compliance, Overseas Direct Investment (ODI), External Commercial Borrowings (ECB), capital account transactions and the broader foreign exchange regulatory framework, including representation before the RBI where approvals are required.

International Tax & Asset Structuring Support

For clients holding assets or wealth across borders, we coordinate structuring that accounts for cross-border holding patterns, family office requirements, succession planning and asset protection strategy.

Market Entry & Global Expansion

We guide foreign corporations entering India and Indian businesses expanding overseas, including licensing structures, distribution and agency arrangements, strategic partnerships, and risk assessment for new markets.

Infrastructure & Strategic Investments

We advise on foreign investment into infrastructure, renewable energy, real estate, manufacturing, technology and public-private partnership projects.

Private Equity, Venture Capital & Family Office Advisory

We work on the full range of investment transaction documentation — share subscription and shareholders' agreements, investor protection structures, exit planning — and advise family offices on their international investment structures.

Cross-Border Dispute Prevention & Risk Management

Good structuring reduces the likelihood of disputes later. We help clients build sound international commercial contracts, assess cross-border risk, put compliance frameworks in place, and draft arbitration and investment protection provisions suited to a multi-jurisdiction footprint.

International Wealth Preservation & Succession

For families with assets and members across multiple countries, we coordinate wealth preservation structures, work alongside international trustees, and help build governance frameworks for succession and legacy planning.

Industries We Work With

Technology and artificial intelligence, fintech and digital banking, manufacturing, renewable energy, real estate and infrastructure, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, logistics and global trade, hospitality and tourism, family offices, and private equity and venture capital funds.

Why GLOBE LAW & CO LLP

Cross-border deals fail more often from structuring gaps than from bad commercial terms. Our Foreign Investment & Cross-Border Structuring practice helps clients navigate overlapping regulatory frameworks while keeping investment structures efficient, compliant and built for the long term — whether that's a single foreign investment or a full international restructuring.

We advise multinational corporations, sovereign investors, family offices, institutional investors, promoters, high-net-worth individuals and emerging enterprises on transactions ranging from individual cross-border deals to large-scale global expansion.
