He has worked on some of the most high-profile European and Asian financings involving senior, TLA/TLB, second lien, mezzanine, PIK, and unitranche/super-senior structures. He also has in-depth knowledge of fund financing matters, routinely acting for both sponsor clients as well as financiers on subscription line financings, NAVs, GP financings, management company financings and hybrids. In the last two years, he has advised on funds finance matters exceeding US$6 billion in value.

Soumitro spearheads the Hogan Lovells India desk and advises international clients on India-related opportunities and Indian clients on their offshore matters. He frequently travels to India on business-related matters and has excellent contacts in the Indian business and legal community.
