Legal services

We work across three core areas — corporate advisory, IP and compliance, and litigation and due diligence. Engagements are scoped on a fixed-fee or monthly retainer basis after a discovery call, so you know what you're getting and what it costs before we begin.

Corporate advisory

Setting up, fundraising, and the contracts that hold the business together.

• Entity & structuring. Incorporation, conversion between entity types, holding structures, DPIIT/Startup India registration and founder shareholding setup.
• Fundraising & investment. Term sheets, SHA, SSA, SAFE notes, convertible instruments and FEMA/RBI compliance on inbound capital.
• Contracts & commercial. MSAs, NDAs, SaaS agreements, vendor and channel contracts — drafted and negotiated per matter, not from templates.

IP, employment & compliance

Protecting the brand, the team and the licence to operate.

• IP & brand protection. Trademark search and filings, copyright registration, IP assignment from founders and consultants, and trade-secret protection.
• Employment & HR legal. Offer letters, PIIAs, ESOP scheme design and grant documentation, POSH compliance and HR policy drafting.
• Regulatory & compliance. DPDP Act readiness, GST structuring, RBI/FEMA advisory, Shops & Establishments, and periodic legal health checks.

Litigation, disputes & due diligence

Representation in Bengaluru courts and tribunals, plus deep-dive diligence on contracts and property.

• Bengaluru litigation. Commercial litigation, injunctions and dispute resolution before the Karnataka High Court, City Civil Court, NCLT Bengaluru, consumer forums and arbitration tribunals.
• Property due diligence. Title verification, encumbrance certificate review, RERA checks, khata and land conversion status, and acquisition risk reports.
• Contract due diligence. Systematic contract review for M&A, fundraising or vendor onboarding — risk flags, red-lined drafts and summaries for non-lawyers.
