Commenting on the exclusive alliance Managing Partner of SNG Partners Rajesh Narain Gupta said,

“R&P Partners has a formidable presence and they are truly the pioneers across the southern part of the country. This alliance will help us service our clients located down south with greater bandwidth and expertise. We have been working with the firm for long and formalizing the collaboration was a natural progression to reinforce our trust in each other. The firms have plans for joint expansion – both in terms of practice areas as well as geography, both domestic and international.”

Managing Partner of R&P Partners R Visveswaran added,

“The announcement of an exclusive alliance was only a matter of time, both firms have worked closely enough to be taking this step and we look forward to further fortifying our synergies. For us, this alliance paves way to bolster presence in the national capital (New Delhi) and the business capital (Mumbai), where SNG & Partners is already a key market player. The partners at both firms are perfectly aligned to our collaborative vision of growth.”
