Global Law Experts is pleased to announce the enrollment of Ramakant Rai, Partner at Trilegal, as an Exclusive Member. Based in New Delhi, Ramakant brings a highly regarded banking, restructuring, and corporate finance practice, shaped by complex debt funding, insolvency resolution, and public sector advisory mandates delivered across India.

Ramakant Rai’s membership reflects exactly the kind of substantive, high value legal capability Global Law Experts aims to showcase. His work is defined by both breadth and precision. He advises financial institutions, corporates, and government entities on matters that demand not only legal accuracy, but also an ability to understand commercial pressure points, regulatory expectations, and enforcement realities. In a market where banking and finance frequently overlap with restructuring, insolvency, and public sector considerations, his perspective is particularly valuable for clients navigating challenging outcomes.

Ramakant’s legal education at the National Law Institute University, Bhopal, and his admission to the Bar Council of Delhi form the foundation of a career that has grown over more than fifteen years at Trilegal. Over time, he has assumed a leadership role within the firm’s Corporate and Banking practice. His experience spans M and A, project finance, debt restructuring, and insolvency matters, giving him a rare mix of transactional insight and advisory depth. For clients dealing with complex financing and recovery scenarios, this combination is a key part of the value he delivers.

As an Exclusive Member, Global Law Experts looks for lawyers who consistently demonstrate strong practical judgment, deep subject matter knowledge, and the ability to advise across sophisticated mandates. Ramakant’s practice aligns closely with these expectations. His work does not sit within a single phase of a transaction or a single side of the market. It includes lender facing and borrower facing issues, along with engagements involving public sector institutions and multilateral bodies. This range allows him to assess banking matters with a well rounded understanding of risk allocation, enforcement strategy, and commercial outcomes.

In banking matters, his work in India covers a full spectrum of financing and recovery issues. He advises on syndicated loans, project finance, structured credit, debt workout arrangements, enforcement, and security creation. He also handles inter creditor questions, a critical area where multiple lenders must coordinate their rights and remedies. These assignments require both legal rigor and commercial awareness, especially when financing structures are complex and the stakes are high. In an environment where lenders and borrowers must respond to evolving regulatory requirements and shifting market dynamics, Ramakant’s ability to structure, negotiate, and implement solutions that work in practice is especially important.

His banking practice is closely linked to restructuring and insolvency, where he regularly advises under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. He represents resolution applicants, creditors, and resolution professionals in corporate insolvency resolution proceedings. This exposure to the different interests that come into play in distressed situations is significant, because insolvency matters often require careful alignment between legal process and practical deal making. A lawyer in this space must be comfortable with creditor dynamics, the integrity of procedure, and the realities of preserving value in businesses under stress. Ramakant’s work reflects precisely that kind of balanced approach.

He also supports mergers and acquisitions where financing complexity or distressed assets are involved. In those scenarios, legal questions rarely remain confined to a single workstream. Financing arrangements, security structures, creditor concerns, and insolvency related risks may all need to be addressed at the same time. His cross disciplinary background in banking and restructuring enables him to engage with overlapping issues and strengthen the counsel he provides in transactions that require a wider strategic lens.

A further standout feature of his practice is the variety of clients and counterparties he advises. His experience includes work for central government departments and major public sector undertakings, as well as mandates involving multilateral lenders. The firm’s cited engagements include the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management, the Ministry of Railways, Power Finance Corporation, NTPC Limited, REC Limited, the IFC, and the World Bank. This mix of clients highlights the policy dimension of his practice and the level of trust placed in him for large scale, high complexity matters.

That public sector dimension is an important distinguishing factor. Banking and finance work involving government departments, public sector undertakings, and policy linked institutions often requires more than conventional transactional capability. It calls for familiarity with public processes, structured coordination across stakeholders, and sensitivity to operational and governance constraints that shape decision making. Ramakant’s experience in this area makes him well suited to mandates where commercial objectives must be aligned with public interest considerations and institutional procedure.

This is also why his profile fits the Global Law Experts standard so well. Exclusive Members are expected to bring recognized capability, supported by a consistent body of relevant work, to clients facing sophisticated legal challenges. Ramakant’s practice spans core banking transactions, distressed debt situations, insolvency proceedings, and public sector advisory work, each requiring strong competence and judgment. Just as importantly, he operates in a context where decisions can affect lenders, borrowers, infrastructure sponsors, public bodies, and multilateral institutions at the same time.

His contribution to restructuring and insolvency in India is also notable for how it connects financial law with wider commercial and institutional realities. Insolvency and distressed debt matters frequently involve a combination of negotiation, enforcement, and turnaround considerations. Ramakant advises across these settings, bringing practical experience to questions involving creditor recovery, resolution processes, and financing issues. The ability to manage both legal frameworks and the commercial implications of stress situations is central to effective advisory work, and that is clearly reflected in his practice.

In project finance and banking linked infrastructure matters, his experience is particularly relevant for clients operating in sectors where long term capital deployment and layered security arrangements are common. Infrastructure, power, and public sector transactions often demand financing solutions that are durable, coordinated, and carefully documented. His work with entities such as Power Finance Corporation, NTPC Limited, and REC Limited indicates strong familiarity with the large scale financing environment where discipline, precision, and stakeholder alignment are essential. For clients in these sectors, legal support must be able to keep pace with project realities while ensuring financing and enforcement structures remain robust.

Ramakant Rai is also active in thought leadership. He authors commentary on insolvency law, banking regulation, bankruptcy norms, and judicial developments affecting compliance and creditor remedies. He has participated in panels and academic forums focused on corporate law, banking regulation, and insolvency practice, engaging with regulators, in house counsel, and financial institutions on emerging trends and reforms. This engagement shows a practitioner who is not only responsive to current legal developments, but also attentive to how the landscape is evolving, helping clients receive advice that remains current and forward looking.

His profile further stands out for the way it integrates lender side and debtor side perspectives. Many financial disputes require counsel to understand incentives and constraints on both sides. His experience across banking, debt restructuring, and insolvency allows him to approach matters with that wider understanding. Whether the issue involves negotiating security packages, coordinating inter creditor arrangements, or assessing enforcement pathways, he is positioned to deliver guidance that is both commercially pragmatic and firmly grounded in law.

This blend of public sector advisory experience, lender representation, debtor facing work, and insolvency expertise makes his practice especially relevant for banks, NBFCs, infrastructure developers, and government agencies. These clients often face situations where refinancing, recovery, or privatization goals intersect with regulatory and policy constraints. Having counsel who can move confidently across these dimensions is a major advantage, and Ramakant’s career has been built around that capability.

Global Law Experts welcomes Ramakant Rai as an Exclusive Member in recognition of a practice that is both technically strong and commercially relevant. His work in banking, restructuring, and public sector advisory matters in India demonstrates the depth, discipline, and versatility that international clients and counterparties value in specialist counsel. With extensive experience across complex debt funding, insolvency resolution, structured finance, and government linked mandates, he brings insight that can make a meaningful difference in high stakes legal and financial matters.

His addition strengthens the network with a lawyer whose practice is anchored in sophisticated banking work and expanded through significant experience in restructuring, insolvency, and public sector advisory. For clients seeking guidance in India on matters involving finance, distress, recovery, and policy sensitive transactions, Ramakant Rai offers a strong and integrated platform of legal support. His career at Trilegal, his leadership within the Corporate and Banking practice, and his sustained involvement in high value matters further underscore the value of this membership.

Global Law Experts is proud to recognize Ramakant Rai, Partner at Trilegal, as an Exclusive Member and to welcome his contribution to the network’s international community of leading legal professionals.
