Corporate Law Advisory

As a full-service provider for all aspects related to corporate compliance and secretarial work, we provide complete assistance throughout the process, including assisting with incorporation of new businesses (Companies or LLPs), the conversion of existing structures into Companies or LLPs, the filing of all necessary documents electronically with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and updating secretarial records.

We also prepare and hold all board and shareholder meetings, as well as committee meetings, as needed to meet all compliance requirements for time and place. If a business has to appeal to ROC, Regional Directors, NCLT, or other agencies for any reason, our attorneys have the experience and expertise to assist clients in resolving these issues efficiently and effectively. Additionally, we can assist with all aspects of winding up and dissolving both Companies and LLPs.

Our services as advisors to corporations include an evaluation of how the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI regulations will affect your company's business activities. We provide expert legal advice regarding various commercial laws, as well as foreign exchange management act (FEMA) regulations, employment legislation, and recent changes in the regulations that may affect businesses in India.

In addition, we are available to assist with the negotiation, formation, and completion of complex corporate transactions, including: mergers; amalgamations; joint ventures; takeovers; external restructurings; and cross-border collaborations. The goal of our corporate transaction advisory work is to ensure that each corporate transaction is compliant (i.e., it conforms with the relevant laws, regulations and practices) and meets the client's long-term business objectives.

Well-drafted legal documents provide the foundation of a sound legal structure for any corporation. Therefore, we draft, review and negotiate various types of agreements related to commercial relations, many of which involve corporations and individuals. We can provide support to clients with the following types of agreements:

• Shareholder agreements
• Joint venture agreements
• Foreign collaboration agreements
• Real estate acquisition and disposal documentation
• Documents relating to employment and human resources, including: contracts for employment; employee handbooks; employee codes of conduct

In addition to our expertise in the preparation of the above types of documents, our lawyers will also conduct a full review of any potential risks associated with an agreement, and provide practical solutions to mitigate those risks to protect the company's business interests.

To support businesses in establishing and maintaining an effective compliance program that supports long-term governance, we provide guidance on the development of a compliance framework, conducting compliance audits and implementing internal controls that ensure compliance with all relevant statutes. In addition, our advisory practice provides guidance with respect to IPRs, such as the registration and renewal of trademarks; the negotiation of royalty agreements; and the enforcement of these rights.

Corporate law advisory consults ensure that your company is compliant with state law, operates according to good corporate governance, and is prepared for the future. Due to the rapid growth of the regulatory compliance environment and the continuously evolving legal landscape, utilizing a corporate law advisory allows you and your management team to minimize risk, increase operational transparency, and make prudent business decisions.
