Corporate Advisory

Our corporate work is shaped by our litigation practice: we draft shareholder agreements, joint venture terms and commercial contracts knowing which clauses are fought over later. For foreign companies entering India, we work through the entry structure, the agreements and the registrations in one place.

When disputes arise between shareholders or partners, we act before the National Company Law Tribunal and in arbitration.

What we handle

• Contracts Supply, distribution, franchise, services and technology agreements.
• Shareholder and joint venture agreements Rights, exits, deadlock and dispute clauses.
• Setting up in India Entry structure, incorporation and registrations for foreign companies.
• Oppression and mismanagement Petitions under Sections 241 and 242 of the Companies Act, 2013 before the NCLT.
• Due diligence Legal review of companies, contracts and litigation before an investment.
• Retainers Ongoing advice to businesses on contracts, notices and disputes.
