Corporate & Commercial Law
for Businesses That Mean Business
From incorporation and investment rounds to M&A transactions and commercial disputes, SIRI Law LLP provides the legal infrastructure that growing businesses need. We advise founders, boards, and investors on every stage of the business lifecycle — combining deep transactional expertise with AI governance and digital asset structuring advisory.
Overview
Commercial Transactions Demand Precision
Corporate transactions are rarely straightforward. The difference between a deal that closes cleanly and one that unravels — months after signing — often comes down to the quality of legal work done before execution.
SIRI Law LLP’s corporate and commercial practice handles the full transactional spectrum: from entity structuring at the outset to complex multi-party M&A with cross-border dimensions.
We advise clients in technology, manufacturing, real estate, and financial services. Our attorneys understand commercial pressures and structure legal solutions that work in practice.
AI-Era Practice
Technology & AI Business Advisory
As businesses deploy AI, novel legal questions arise: who owns AI-generated outputs? How is liability apportioned when an algorithm causes harm? What contracts are needed between AI vendors and enterprise customers?
We help technology companies structure AI product agreements, draft model licensing terms, and navigate India’s DPDPA, 2023 in the context of AI data use.

Joint Venture – Manufacturing

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a standard M&A transaction take with legal involvement?
A straightforward acquisition with clean due diligence typically takes 6–12 weeks from term sheet to closing. Complex transactions involving regulatory approvals or multiple asset classes can take 3–6 months.
Do we need a lawyer to incorporate a company?
Incorporation on the MCA portal can be done without a lawyer for simple structures. However, shareholding architecture, founders’ agreements, and vesting provisions critically affect fundraising and exit options.
We are deploying AI. What contracts do we need?
At minimum: an AI vendor agreement with IP ownership, indemnity, and data governance provisions; an acceptable use policy for employees; and a DPDPA-compliant data processing framework.
