Where we come in
Five problems we are often asked to fix.
Each is common, and each is far cheaper to prevent when the contract is written than to argue over later.
Standard forms nobody negotiated
Signing the counterparty's template can leave you with uncapped liability, one-sided termination and indemnities you never priced in.
Handshake arrangements between owners
Without a shareholders' agreement, disagreement between promoters can freeze decisions, and there is no agreed way out.
Unstamped or badly executed agreements
Agreements that are not properly stamped can be inadmissible as evidence until duty and penalty are paid, at the moment you most need to rely on them.
A compliance backlog
Missed annual filings lead to penalties and can risk director disqualification, and they surface in every diligence exercise.
Vague dispute clauses
Contracts without a clear governing law, forum or seat turn a simple payment dispute into an argument about where to argue.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
Which contracts should my business always have in writing?
At minimum: customer and vendor agreements, employment and contractor agreements, confidentiality agreements, and any arrangement between owners. Verbal deals are hard to prove and easy to dispute.
We can review what you have and identify the gaps.
What is the difference between buying shares and buying assets?
A share purchase acquires the company together with its history and liabilities. An asset or business transfer lets you choose what you buy, but each asset must be transferred and consents may be needed.
Tax, stamp duty and regulatory consequences differ significantly, so we advise on structure before the terms are fixed.
Do we need a shareholders' agreement if we have articles of association?
Yes, usually. The articles govern the company, but a shareholders' agreement records the commercial deal between owners: control, transfer, exit and deadlock.
Key rights are often also written into the articles so they bind the company as well as the shareholders.
Can a foreign company invest in or set up in India?
In most sectors, yes. Foreign investment is permitted under the automatic route or with Government approval, subject to sector caps and conditions, and must be reported to the RBI.
We advise on structure, approvals and filings.
How long does an acquisition take?
It depends on size, diligence findings and approvals. A straightforward private deal can complete in weeks, while transactions needing regulatory clearance take longer.
We give you a realistic timeline in the first consultation.
Can you review a contract quickly?
Yes. Send the draft and tell us your deadline and concerns. We turn around a clear list of risks and proposed changes, and can negotiate with the other side.
Contract reviews are available at a fixed fee.
How are your fees structured?
Fixed fees for standard documents and reviews, scoped fees for transactions, and a monthly SIRI Shield retainer for ongoing counsel.
In every case, fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
