New Delhi-headquartered law firm PSL Advocates & Solicitors has opened a representative office in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, making it one of the first Indian law firms to establish a physical presence in the world’s most populous country.

This six-partner PSL currently has full-service offices in Mumbai and Chandigarh, in addition to the Delhi headquarters.

The Hangzhou office, which is expected to hire a local lawyer soon, will focus on India-inbound investment advisory and international disputes work. It will offer no advice related to Chinese law.   

The new office will be headed by PSL’s managing partners, Sameer Jain and Sandeep Bajaj.

PSL was launched in November 2017, following the merger of Delhi-based boutique Pamasis Law Chambers and Mumbai firm SanAd Legal. Pamasis was set up in 2012 by Jain, Bajaj, Siddharth Jain and Manju Jain.
