Services
The work we take on for companies headquartered outside India, set out the way an engagement letter sets it out.
Market entry and entity setup
INWe help overseas companies choose and establish the right India presence, whether a wholly owned subsidiary, LLP, branch or liaison office. Our team manages incorporation, regulatory registrations and the early governance framework so operations can begin without delay.
Foreign investment and FEMA compliance
IN / EUWe advise foreign investors on India's FDI policy, sectoral caps and permitted entry routes, and on the exchange control rules that govern every inbound and outbound remittance. Our team handles RBI filings, valuation and reporting obligations so an investment stays compliant from funding through to repatriation.
Joint ventures and shareholder agreements
INWe structure and negotiate Indian joint ventures for overseas partners, from term sheet through to definitive documentation. Our work covers board and control rights, reserved matters, deadlock mechanics and exit provisions that hold up under Indian company law.
Commercial contracts and licensing
IN / USWe draft and negotiate the supply, distribution, services and technology agreements that govern your commercial relationships in India. Our team also handles IP and software licensing, with close attention to the cross-border tax, data and enforceability issues that affect US-headquartered groups.
Employment and secondment
INWe advise overseas employers on hiring in India, employment documentation, statutory benefits and termination rules that differ sharply from Western practice. We also structure secondment and assignment arrangements to manage permanent establishment, payroll and social security exposure.
Disputes and arbitration
IN / INTLWe represent overseas clients in Indian commercial litigation and in domestic and international arbitration, whether seated in India or abroad. Our team also advises on enforcement of foreign awards and judgments, and on the interim relief available while a dispute is pending.
