The law firm with which U.K. firm Osborne Clarke has a special relationship in India has added a new office in New Delhi – a move taking place at a time when there is a rising concern over protectionism in the Indian legal market.

Mumbai-based Business Transaction Group Legal launched a third office in Delhi with partners Vikram Jeet Singh and Sidhartha Barua.

Singh is a corporate lawyer specialising in cross-border mergers and acquisitions of digital businesses. He relocates to New Delhi from BTG Legal's Mumbai office, where he was based for two years. Previously, Singh practised at local firms Poovayya & Co. and S&R Associates in New Delhi.
