Dentons Link Legal successfully advised and supported the Indian leg of a complex global acquisition for client Ryan International. The acquisition involved Ryan International acquiring the property tax business division of Altus Group, a publicly traded Canadian company. The division operates in Canada, the USA, UK and India. 

Dentons Link Legal's employment law team played a critical role in ensuring a smooth transition for the 52 employees in India who would be transferred to Ryan International. This included navigating Indian employment and labor laws throughout the entire acquisition lifecycle, from pre-acquisition due diligence to post-acquisition integration. The transferred employees represent a mix of tech/developer roles, property tax support for US operations, and back-office administrative positions. 

This complex, multi-jurisdictional acquisition spanned several countries and time zones. Dentons Link Legal's team collaborated seamlessly with an international team from Dentons, as well as other leading global law firms such as Kirkland & Ellis and Stikeman Elliott. This collaborative approach ensured a comprehensive and efficient legal strategy across all jurisdictions involved.

Dentons Link Legal team was led by our Partner Gyanendra Mishra. Gyanendra was assisted by Bulbul Tiwari (Senior Associate), Shawaiz Nisar (Associate) and Maruti Nandan (Trainee Associate).
