Legal Counsel Without the Retainer.
Practical, business-focused legal support for the day-to-day operational needs of foreign subsidiaries in India, without the overhead of a full in-house legal team.
Why Operational Legal Support Is Hard to Get Right
Unfamiliar Contract Frameworks
Indian commercial contracts operate under the Indian Contract Act and specific sectoral regulations that differ significantly from common law and civil law jurisdictions. Template contracts from your home jurisdiction rarely hold up.
Complex Employment Regulations
India's labour laws vary by state and are undergoing significant reform with the new Labour Codes. Managing employee contracts, terminations, and POSH compliance requires continuous legal attention.
Dispute Resolution Delays
Indian courts are notoriously slow, with commercial disputes often taking years to resolve. Knowing when to litigate, when to arbitrate, and when to negotiate requires strategic legal judgement.
Our Advisory Approach
Legal Needs Assessment
We review your current contracts, policies, and legal exposure to identify gaps, risks, and priority areas that need immediate attention versus ongoing management.
Template and Policy Development
We create India-specific contract templates, employee handbooks, workplace policies, and standard operating procedures that comply with applicable laws and align with your global standards.
Ongoing Contract Review
Our legal team reviews and negotiates commercial contracts, vendor agreements, lease deeds, and partnership arrangements on an ongoing basis as your business operations require.
Dispute Prevention and Resolution
We provide early-warning dispute assessment, pre-litigation negotiation support, and coordination with litigation counsel when formal proceedings become necessary.
Quarterly Legal Health Review
We conduct quarterly reviews of your legal risk register, contract renewals, regulatory changes, and pending matters to keep your leadership informed and operations protected.
