What We Advise On
Here's what sets a disputes chamber's corporate work apart. When you've spent years watching contracts break in court, you draft the next one differently. You know which clause a counterparty will exploit, which term a judge reads narrowly, and where a standard template leaves a gap.
That's the value of keeping corporate advisory under the same roof as litigation. The person drafting your shareholder agreement has argued shareholder disputes. The person reviewing your contract has enforced one like it. This isn't advice from a precedent bank. It's advice from experience of what happens when the deal goes wrong.

Working Across the Regulators
Corporate work in Delhi means working across several regulators. Company matters run through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Companies Act, 2013. Foreign investment brings in FEMA and the Reserve Bank of India. Listed-company and securities questions involve SEBI. We advise on where a matter sits, what approvals it needs, and how to keep the compliance clean. Delhi NCR sits at the centre of this regulatory machinery, which is one reason a company law firm in NCR is worth having close.
From Formation to Every Contract After
Corporate work follows a business through its whole life, and the early decisions shape everything after. At formation, the structure you choose affects tax, liability, and how easily you can later raise money. We advise on getting that foundation right, so the company is built to grow rather than rebuilt later at cost.
As a business scales, the contracts multiply. Supplier agreements, client contracts, distribution arrangements, employment terms: each carries risk that a careful draft can contain. We review the agreements a company runs on, with attention to the clauses that decide what happens when something goes wrong. Indemnity, termination, and dispute-resolution terms look like boilerplate until the day they're tested, and then they're the whole matter.
Funding brings its own layer. Through investment rounds, we handle the documentation and the compliance that follows, from term sheets to the reporting a new investor expects. Getting this right keeps a round clean and keeps later rounds from inheriting problems. For founders, that means fewer surprises in due diligence when the next investor looks under the bonnet.
Governance runs alongside all of it. Directors carry statutory duties under the Companies Act, 2013, and boards face real consequences for getting disclosure or process wrong. We advise on those duties in plain terms, and help a board keep its compliance framework in order. As corporate and commercial lawyers in Delhi, we sit close to the regulators that matter, which means a company gets advice grounded in how these bodies actually operate.
Who We Act For
We act for startups protecting their first real contract, established companies managing ongoing corporate work, and individuals with an investment or a business decision that needs legal footing. We also act as Indian desk counsel for firms abroad, holding the Indian corporate side of a cross-border matter. Some clients come for a single agreement. Others keep us on as the number they call before signing anything.
FAQ's
The common ones are wrongful or contested terminations, POSH complaints, misconduct and disciplinary disputes, misclassification of contract labour, and compliance gaps on provident fund, ESIC, and the labour codes. Most start small. They become expensive when the paperwork or the process wasn't right at the outset.
Before a problem, ideally. The best points are when setting up HR policies, before a difficult termination, during a restructuring, or the moment a POSH or grievance complaint lands. Early advice keeps a matter out of a tribunal. Late advice usually means defending one.
Mainly employers, including startups and established companies. That said, the advice covers the employee-facing side too, since fair, compliant treatment of staff is what prevents disputes in the first place. Where there's a conflict, we act for one side only on a given matter.
At minimum: proper employment agreements, an employee handbook, a POSH policy, and clear disciplinary and grievance procedures. Confidentiality and non-compete terms matter where relevant. The documents a company skips are usually the ones it needs when an exit turns into a claim.
Through labour courts, industrial tribunals, and, on appeal, the High Courts and Supreme Court. Many resolve earlier through negotiation or a settlement, particularly around exits. We assess whether a matter is better settled or fought, then run whichever route protects the company's position.
