"A corporate lawyer is not just a defender in court but a guardian of business integrity and a facilitator of commercial growth."
The perception of lawyers as merely litigators is outdated in the corporate world. Today, corporate lawyers in India are integral to the decision-making process. They act as the bridge between commercial intent and legal reality. Their role encompasses a broad spectrum of activities designed to protect the company's interests and maximize its value.
One of the primary functions is Risk Management. Every business decision, from hiring an employee to signing a vendor contract, carries inherent legal risks. Our lawyers meticulously analyze these risks and implement safeguards—such as robust contracts, compliance protocols, and insurance strategies—to mitigate potential liabilities.
Another critical aspect is Regulatory Navigation. India's regulatory framework is vast, involving multiple authorities like the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), and various industry-specific regulators. Navigating this maze requires specialized knowledge. We ensure that your business stays on the right side of the law, avoiding penalties and reputational damage associated with non-compliance.
Corporate law in India is governed by a complex web of statutes, regulations, and judicial precedents. Understanding this framework is essential for any business operating in the country.
The backbone of corporate legislation, this Act regulates the incorporation, governance, and dissolution of companies. It mandates corporate social responsibility (CSR), enhances auditor accountability, and protects minority shareholders.
The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policies regulate cross-border transactions and foreign investments, crucial for international businesses and startups raising foreign capital.
These laws govern the validity and enforceability of commercial contracts. A well-drafted contract under these acts is the best defense against business disputes.
A game-changer in the Indian corporate landscape, the IBC provides a time-bound process for resolving insolvency, maximizing asset value, and promoting entrepreneurship.
Our team stays abreast of the latest amendments and judicial interpretations of these laws to provide you with up-to-date and effective legal counsel.
We offer a full spectrum of legal services tailored to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. Our expertise covers every stage of a company's journey.
Choosing the right business entity is the first step towards success. We assist in incorporating Private Limited Companies, Public Limited Companies, One Person Companies (OPC), Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP), and Section 8 Companies. We advise on the optimal capital structure, draft the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA), and handle all filings with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
Contracts are the lifeblood of business relationships. We draft, review, and negotiate a wide variety of commercial agreements including Shareholder Agreements, Co-founder Agreements, Vendor Contracts, Distribution Agreements, Franchise Agreements, and Employment Contracts. Our focus is on clarity, enforceability, and protection of your commercial interests.
We provide end-to-end support for M&A transactions. This includes conducting legal due diligence, structuring the deal, drafting term sheets and definitive agreements (SPA, SHA), and obtaining regulatory approvals. Whether you are acquiring a competitor, merging with a partner, or selling your business, we ensure a smooth and legally sound transaction.
Compliance is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. We act as your extended legal department, handling annual filings, board meeting minutes, statutory register maintenance, and compliance with changing regulations. We help you avoid the severe penalties and disqualification of directors associated with non-compliance.
Protecting your brand and innovation is crucial. We assist in the registration, prosecution, and enforcement of Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, and Designs. We also draft IP licensing and assignment agreements to help you monetize your intellectual assets securely.
Startups operate in a high-velocity environment where agility is key. However, ignoring legal formalities can be fatal. We have a dedicated practice for startups, offering affordable and scalable legal solutions.
Clear agreements between co-founders regarding equity split, roles, vesting schedules, and exit clauses are essential to prevent future conflicts that could derail the venture.
We guide startups through Seed, Angel, and VC funding rounds. We review Term Sheets, negotiate Share Subscription Agreements (SSA), and ensure that the rights of the founders are protected against excessive dilution.
Attracting talent is a challenge for startups. We help structure and implement Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) that incentivize employees while complying with the Companies Act and tax laws.
We assist eligible startups in obtaining recognition under the 'Startup India' initiative, unlocking benefits like tax holidays, self-certification compliance, and easier public procurement norms.
We believe in transparency and efficiency. Our engagement model is designed to provide you with clear deliverables and timelines.
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your business model, objectives, and legal requirements. We assess the current compliance status and identify potential risks.
Based on the assessment, we create a tailored legal strategy. Whether it's a roadmap for incorporation or a plan for M&A due diligence, we outline the steps, timelines, and costs involved.
Our team executes the plan with precision. We handle all drafting, filing, and liaison with government authorities. We ensure that every document is legally robust and error-free.

A corporate lawyer in India plays a pivotal role in guiding businesses through the complex legal landscape. They handle a wide array of legal matters including company incorporation, regulatory compliance, contract drafting and vetting, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), intellectual property protection, and dispute resolution. Their primary objective is to ensure that the business operates within the legal framework, minimizing legal risks and facilitating smooth commercial operations. They act as strategic advisors, helping companies navigate the Companies Act, 2013, FEMA regulations, SEBI guidelines, and other sector-specific laws.
Startups in India face a unique set of legal challenges, from choosing the right business structure (Private Limited, LLP, etc.) to ensuring compliance with labor laws and tax regulations. Hiring expert corporate lawyers ensures that the foundation of your startup is legally sound. They assist in drafting founder agreements, protecting intellectual property, managing funding rounds with proper term sheets and shareholder agreements, and ensuring compliance with the 'Startup India' initiative benefits. Early legal intervention prevents costly litigation and regulatory penalties down the line.
A Private Limited Company in India must adhere to several mandatory compliances under the Companies Act, 2013. These include holding the first board meeting within 30 days of incorporation, appointing an auditor, holding at least four board meetings annually, conducting an Annual General Meeting (AGM), and filing annual financial statements (Form AOC-4) and annual returns (Form MGT-7) with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Additionally, companies must comply with TDS returns, GST filings, and PF/ESI regulations if applicable. Our corporate lawyers provide end-to-end compliance management to ensure you never miss a deadline.
AMA Legal Solutions offers comprehensive legal support for Mergers and Acquisitions. Our team conducts thorough due diligence to assess the legal health of the target company, identifying potential liabilities and risks.

Yes, we specialize in assisting foreign companies with their India entry strategy.

Our corporate lawyers handle the entire incorporation process, assist with RBI reporting (FC-GPR), and ensure compliance with FDI policies. We also provide ongoing legal support for day-to-day operations, employment contracts, and commercial agreements to help international businesses establish a strong foothold in the Indian market.
Due diligence is a critical risk assessment process in any corporate transaction, be it an investment, acquisition, or partnership. It involves a comprehensive investigation into the legal, financial, and operational aspects of a business. Legal due diligence uncovers hidden liabilities, pending litigation, non-compliance with laws, and issues with intellectual property ownership. Identifying these risks beforehand allows you to negotiate better terms, adjust the valuation, or even walk away from a bad deal. Our corporate lawyers conduct rigorous due diligence to safeguard your investment.
Corporate disputes can disrupt business operations and damage reputation. We prioritize alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms like negotiation, mediation, and arbitration to resolve conflicts efficiently and cost-effectively. However, when litigation is unavoidable, our seasoned litigators represent clients before the NCLT, NCLAT, High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India. We handle shareholder disputes, oppression and mismanagement cases, breach of contract claims, and insolvency proceedings under the IBC with a strategic and aggressive approach.
Absolutely. Drafting robust commercial contracts is the first line of defense against future disputes. Our corporate lawyers have extensive experience in drafting, vetting, and negotiating a wide range of contracts including Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), Vendor Contracts, Franchise Agreements, Employment Contracts, and Software Licensing Agreements. We ensure that every clause is precise, legally enforceable, and aligned with your commercial interests, minimizing ambiguity and potential legal exposure.
Corporate governance refers to the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. Good corporate governance fosters transparency, accountability, and ethical business practices, which builds trust among stakeholders, investors, and customers.
