Practice focus · Indian law
Corporate & Commercial Advisory
Contracts, founder arrangements, governance and business documentation under Indian law.
Commercial contracts
A new customer relationship, outsourced service or vendor appointment often needs a clear written agreement. We draft, review and support negotiation of commercial agreements, service agreements, vendor arrangements, confidentiality agreements and other business documents. The output may be a draft agreement, a marked-up version with comments, or a note explaining obligations, liability, payment and termination terms.
Founder and shareholder arrangements
When founders establish or change a business relationship, ownership alone may not resolve how decisions will be made. We advise on roles, responsibilities, ownership arrangements, reserved decisions and exit provisions. Work includes discussing the intended arrangement and documenting it, with a draft founder or shareholder agreement or an issues note as the agreed output.
Corporate governance and ongoing advisory
Businesses may need legal input on internal decisions, contractual obligations or recurring operating questions. We review the relevant documents, identify legal risks and assist with governance documentation. Outputs can include a draft document, a response to a defined legal query or a note setting out matters for management’s consideration.
Business structuring
A proposed business or change in commercial arrangements can raise questions about legal structure, responsibility and contractual relationships. We examine the intended activities and available documentation and explain relevant Indian legal considerations. A structuring note or draft commercial documents may follow. Accounting, tax certification and other professional work require separately engaged professionals where needed.
Transaction-related support
Where a business is considering an investment or other transaction, our scope may include reviewing specified documents, identifying contractual risks and supporting commercial documentation. Outputs may be a document review note, an issues list or draft terms. Financial, valuation, certification and specialist regulatory work require separate professional input where relevant.
