A-List 2026: Dr. Martin Imhof Once Again Among the 100 Leading International India Experts

Dr. Martin Imhof, Partner at HEUKING, has once again been recognized as one of the world's leading specialists in India-related transactions. The India Business Law Journal has recognized him in its prestigious International A-List for another year, honoring his extensive expertise and longstanding experience in the Indian market. The annual International A-List comprises the top 100 India experts worldwide.

"I am very pleased about this renewed recognition and the trust placed in us by our Indian clients and colleagues," says Imhof. "India is one of the most dynamic economies in the world. A deep understanding of local markets, regulatory developments, and cultural nuances remains key to successful and sustainable investments and transactions."

Economic relations between Germany and India have continued to strengthen in recent years. Topics such as energy cooperation, hydrogen technology, digitalization, and skilled workforce exchange are particularly in focus. Companies and governments from both countries are increasingly pursuing partnerships to capitalize on opportunities in a rapidly evolving market environment. The conclusion of the free trade agreement between the EU and India—the "mother of all deals"—underscores the excellent economic and political relations and offers German and Indian companies of all sizes new opportunities and privileged access to the second- and fourth-largest economies in the world.

To compile the International A-List, the India Business Law Journal surveys hundreds of lawyers in India as well as numerous international in-house counsel each year. The final selection combines these nominations with the editorial team's more than 30 years of market observation.

The current edition of the A-List is published in the India Business Law Journal and is available online at law.asia.
