Corporate & Contract Advisory
Most commercial contracts are drafted to close a deal. We draft them to survive the deal going wrong.
We advise corporate and institutional clients on day-to-day legal risk, contract strategy and dispute management, and we vet and settle commercial documentation across sectors. Because the same people conduct the firm's disputes practice, every clause is read against the question that eventually matters: how does this look to a judge or an arbitrator, and who has to prove what?
What this covers
Long-form commercial arrangements including scope, service levels, acceptance, rejection, liquidated damages and termination architecture.
Supply chain documentation with attention to quality rejection, delivery failure, price variation and exit.
Confidentiality, exclusivity, and binding versus non-binding distinctions that determine what happens if the transaction dies.
Indemnity architecture, caps and carve-outs, corporate and personal guarantees, and financial security documentation.
Employment documentation drafted with an eye on Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and the limits of post-termination restraint in India.
Seat, venue, governing law, appointment mechanism and escalation: the clauses most often copied and least often thought about.
FEMA and foreign investment advisory, foreign agreements, e-commerce documentation, infrastructure and development project contracts, and credit agreements.
