Altum Law has opened an office in Guwahati to capitalize on the corporate transaction work that takes place in the northeast region.
“Corporate transaction work is not very widely practised [in the northeast] in the manner we see in the metros,” said Anindita Phukan, co-founder and senior partner at Altum Law.
“Legal practice in the northeast is very chamber-oriented. But there are law firms that are very good.”
Phukan said that being able to open an office in her home state of Assam was a matter of pride, but it was not the only reason. “We have been working there for a while. This is the right time according to us. The clients want the comfort of a local presence. There is a lot of traction in areas such as tea, tourism, handicrafts and unique agricultural products.”
