What it is

Advice for the decisions that shape your company

Some decisions change the shape of a company — bringing in investors, combining businesses, converting to a different form, restructuring capital or closing down. Each has a legal route with its own approvals, timelines and filings.

We help boards and promoters choose the right route, then carry the plan through to completion, keeping every step compliant with the Companies Act, SEBI and FEMA.

What we cover

  • Entity structuring & restructuring
  • Mergers, demergers & amalgamations
  • Takeovers & acquisitions
  • Conversions (Pvt ↔ Public, LLP, etc.)
  • Capital restructuring & buy-backs
  • Winding-up & strike-off strategy
  • ESOP design & cap-table advice
  • Corporate governance frameworks

Frequently asked questions

Have a question that isn't here? Ask us directly — we reply within one business day.

Can you advise on a merger or demerger?

Yes — from structuring the scheme and drafting it, through NCLT approval (or the fast-track route where eligible) to post-merger compliance. We work alongside your tax and valuation advisors.

How do you charge for advisory work?

Advisory work is quoted per project after an initial discussion of scope, or covered under a retainer for ongoing matters.

Do you advise startups on ESOPs and cap tables?

Yes — ESOP scheme design, approvals, grant documentation and keeping the cap table and registers accurate through funding rounds.

Can you help wind up a company cleanly?

Yes. We assess whether a strike-off or a formal winding-up suits your situation and handle the process end to end.
