Corporate Law

The legal compliances companies need, and the transactions that change them, from mergers and acquisitions to joint ventures and strategic alliances.

Who this is for

Companies, MSMEs and family-run enterprises that want company-law compliance handled and contracts that protect them.

A growing business accumulates obligations quietly: annual filings, board approvals, licence conditions, contracts signed on the other side’s template. We take that load off the founders and the finance team, make sure the documents the business relies on actually say what you think they say, and see transactions through from term sheet to closing.

What we handle

  • Company-law compliance: board and general meetings, statutory registers, ROC filings
  • Compliance reviews against the laws, licences and filings that apply to your business
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Joint ventures and strategic alliances
  • Drafting and review of commercial contracts: supply, distribution, services, franchise, leases
  • Shareholder and partnership arrangements
  • Udyam (MSME) registration and remedies for delayed payments
  • Licences, approvals and replies to show-cause notices from regulators
  • Changes in shareholding, restructuring and closure of entities

Common questions

What does a compliance review involve?
We map the laws, licences and filings that apply to your business, check them against what is actually in place, and give you a prioritised list of gaps with the steps to close each one.
We already have a CA. Why would we need a lawyer for compliance?
The two cover different ground. Filings are one part; the resolutions, agreements and approvals behind them are legal documents. We work alongside your CA so the two line up.
Can you review a contract someone else has drafted?
Yes. We mark up the risks, suggest specific changes and, where needed, negotiate them with the other side.
A buyer has not paid us for months. What can a small business do?
Micro and small enterprises registered under Udyam have a statutory route under the MSMED Act, 2006 to recover delayed payments with interest, including a reference to the MSE Facilitation Council. We assess whether it applies to you and take it forward.
