Is your company planning on or already doing business in India? If so, you need to familiarize yourself with the latest business, political, and regulatory issues affecting your business and your employees when entering this promising but challenging and diverse market. In this complimentary webinar, a panel of K&L Gates partners with vast experience working with companies who are doing business in India, will address a range of legal issues to give you a comprehensive grasp on the business operating environment in India. The purpose of this webinar is to provide international legal and business context. The information in this webinar should not be considered legal advice on Indian law or otherwise. Like all non-Indian law firms, K&L Gates does not practice Indian law and we work with a network of counsel in India on Indian law issues as necessary in any given situation.
