White & Case Hires M&A Partner Savi Hebbur From Linklaters In London

Savi Hebbur, a Partner at Linklaters, Joins White & Case's India and Global M&A Practices in London.

Hebbur, qualified in England & Wales, India, and New York, specializes in guiding international companies and private equity firms through their Indian transactions, as well as assisting Indian corporations with their international M&A endeavors.

He brings his expertise from Linklaters, where he served as a Partner and spearheaded the corporate offerings of its India group.

"Indian companies remain steadfast in their commitment to outbound M&A activities, buoyed by robust economic growth domestically and solid financial positions. Concurrently, the volume of inbound M&A transactions in India continues to rise steadily," stated John Reiss, Partner at White & Case and Head of the firm's Global M&A Practice.

"Savi's extensive experience in M&A, private equity, and corporate law, coupled with his deep ties to India, will offer invaluable support to both our new and existing clients in navigating their inbound and outbound investments in India," Reiss continued.

“India's economy is on an upward trajectory and projected to be one of the fastest growing among the major economies, driven by strong domestic consumption and an increase in investment,” said White & Case Partner Dipen Sabharwal KC, Head of the India Country Practice and a member of the firm's Global Executive Committee.

“India M&A is expected to mirror this trajectory due to the growing attractiveness of Indian companies in the global arena and an increasing appetite among Indian conglomerates to expand internationally. We are delighted to be strengthening our offering to Indian-based clients and international investors targeting India through the addition of Savi, a highly rated M&A partner in the market.”

Oliver Brettle, Partner and Vice Chair at White & Case, added, “M&A continues to be a priority practice for the Firm and India is a busy and important M&A market for us. We have a number of M&A partners in our offices across the US, London and Asia-Pacific with links to our India Country Practice with whom Savi will work closely. Savi is recognised for his India expertise in corporate and M&A matters as well as projects and energy work, and has led the corporate offering of the India group of his previous firm. In addition, Savi’s sector expertise aligns with and complements our industry focuses, particularly his work with energy companies and private equity sponsors.”
