Corporate law is what keeps a business legally sound as it grows — from choosing the right structure at incorporation, to the contracts it signs, to the compliances it must file each year, to the disputes it eventually has to resolve.
Most corporate problems are documentation problems that surfaced late: a shareholders’ agreement nobody drafted, a vendor contract with no termination clause, a filing missed for three years running. A corporate lawyer’s real value lies in preventing those.
Tap a matter to see the lawyers who handle exactly that, not just the broad area.
Setting up a private limited, LLP or OPC and its founding documents.
Drafting and negotiating the commercial contracts a business signs.
Buying, selling or merging a business, from term sheet to closing.
Annual ROC filings, board processes and regularising past defaults.
Oppression and mismanagement petitions before the NCLT.
Examining a target company’s legal position before you invest.
Term sheets, SHAs, ESOPs and investor documentation.
Corporate insolvency and recovery proceedings under the IBC.
Structuring a partnership between two businesses, and its exit.
Resolving a commercial dispute outside court, under the contract’s clause.
If any of these describe your situation, it is worth speaking to a lawyer early.
Private limited, LLP or OPC — the structure decides your liability, your tax and your ability to raise money.
A vendor, client, employment or distribution agreement worth reading properly before it binds you.
Term sheets, due diligence and shareholders’ agreements shape control long after the money arrives.
Oppression and mismanagement petitions lie before the NCLT.
Recovery through arbitration, a commercial suit, or proceedings under the IBC.
ROC penalties accrue daily, and directors of a persistently defaulting company can be disqualified.
Bringing these to the first consultation saves a hearing later.
Every matter differs, but most follow roughly this sequence.
The lawyer establishes the commercial objective first — what the business actually wants — and only then the legal route to it.
Agreements are drafted or reviewed. For a transaction, a diligence report flags the risks that are worth negotiating on.
Documents are executed, stamped and, where required, filed with the ROC or the relevant regulator within the statutory time.
Notice, followed by arbitration or proceedings before the NCLT or a commercial court, depending on what the contract provides.
An LLP is cheaper to run and has lighter compliance, which suits a services business with stable partners. A private limited company is almost always necessary if you intend to raise external investment, issue ESOPs, or bring in shareholders who are not managing the business.
Especially then. It settles vesting, exit, deadlock and what happens if one of you leaves — questions that are easy to agree on today and impossible to agree on later.
Late fees accrue per day of delay with no upper cap for most forms, the company can be struck off, and directors of a company that defaults for three consecutive years are disqualified from all boards for five years.
It is usually faster and private, and the parties choose the arbitrator. It is not cheaper. And it only applies if your contract contains an arbitration clause — one more reason to have a lawyer read the contract before you sign it.
Fees vary by the lawyer and the complexity of your matter. Each lawyer lists their consultation fee on their profile, so you can pick one that suits your budget before reaching out.
Yes. Browsing profiles and contacting lawyers is completely free. You only pay the lawyer directly for their consultation or case work.
