Nixon Peabody has launched a new 23-lawyer South Asia practice.
The practice will advise the firm’s South Asian clients on banking & capital markets, mergers & acquisitions, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, intellectual property, and labor & employment.
Anjali Chaturvedi will lead the group from the firm’s Washington office.
Chaturvedi says the group includes a number of people of South Asian ancestry, which gives the firm a unique advantage in terms of language and cultural sensitivities to the region.
In January, the firm launched an Israeli practice.
Nixon Peabody LLP 
is one of the largest law firms in the United States, with offices in 17 cities in the United States and one in London, and more than 700 lawyers in 25 major practice areas.
