DLA Piper global co-chairman Tony Angel is joining Prime Minister David Cameron on his high-profile business delegation to India.
The former Linklaters chief has been invited by the Government to join Cameron on the three-day trade-focused visit this week – the largest single business delegation taken to any country by the UK to date.
The delegation, which comprises more than 100 business figures, education specialists and parliamentarians, includes representatives from KPMG, the London Stock Exchange, Virgin Atlantic and the University of Cambridge as well as the Premier League and the London Underground.
The legal profession is also represented by Amarjit Singh, the head of the India business group at Winchester law firm Dutton Gregory.
Singh, who is also co-chairman of the Solent India Business Network, commented: "The high-level composition and diversity of this historic trade mission demonstrates confidence in India, the level of commitment from government and the desire from UK/India industry to partner together."
The trade delegation has been touted as part of an effort to strengthen the UK's trading relationship with India. Cameron set a target with the Indian Government on his first trip to India as Prime Minister in 2010 to double bilateral trade between the countries by 2015.
The liberalisation of the country's legal market has been long anticipated by UK and international law firms keen to move into the fast-emerging economy, and the Bar Council of India in October 2011 agreeing to set out a timeline to open up the market.
Other senior legal figures to have joined Government-led international trade delegations in the past have included A&O senior partner David Morley and Eversheds managing partner Lee Ranson, who joined a delegation of senior business figures on a trip to Russia with Cameron in 2011.
Meanwhile, former Clifford Chance senior partner Stuart Popham followed Cameron to India in 2010, as well as travelling with former Prime Minister Gordon Brown on trade visits to China and India in 2008.
