Drafting,
where the advice lands.
Three lenses.
Every clause.
When the advisory or consulting engagement produces a document — which it often does — we draft it ourselves. The same practitioner who gave you the advice writes the clause. Every draft passes through three reviews before it is delivered.
Does the clause hold under Indian law? Is it enforceable in the chosen forum? Are limitation, consideration, and capacity correctly addressed? Drafted to survive challenge, not to look complete.
Does the clause reflect the deal? Does it protect the party we represent? Are indemnity caps proportionate, force majeure carve-outs defensible, and dispute resolution chosen deliberately?
What is the accounting treatment? The capital gains hit? The GST trigger? The TDS implication? Reviewed by a CA before delivery — the lens most law firms don't have in-house.
Brief.
Then draft.
Brief call
30 minutes to understand the deal, the parties, the commercial outcome, and the existing context. No template-filling. No draft without the brief.
First draft
Drafted from first principles within agreed timeline — structured for your deal, not adapted from a precedent. Three-lens review before delivery.
Review round
One revision round — commercial changes, not just language edits. We revisit the deal logic, walk you through clauses that carry residual risk.
Final & file
Final document delivered. Short note on clauses that carry commercial risk — what to watch for in execution or downstream events. Filed for retainer clients.
Every document
your business needs.
