Corporate Laws Consultants

Advising on Companies Act compliance, FEMA, SEBI regulations and corporate restructuring so decisions taken in the boardroom don't create regulatory exposure discovered only during an audit or a deal.

Quick answer

Corporate laws consulting covers ongoing compliance under the Companies Act, 2013, advisory on FEMA and RBI regulations for cross-border transactions, SEBI compliance for listed or soon-to-be-listed companies, and structuring for mergers, demergers and other forms of corporate restructuring. The work is typically retainer-based for ongoing compliance and project-based for specific transactions or restructuring exercises.

Key components

What corporate laws advisory actually protects against

The exposure that surfaces later if compliance is treated as an afterthought.

📘

Companies Act Compliance

Ensuring board processes, resolutions and filings for key corporate actions meet Companies Act requirements before, not after, the action is taken.

🌐

FEMA & RBI Advisory

Structuring cross-border investment, loans and remittances to stay within FEMA regulations and avoid compounding applications later.

📈

SEBI Compliance

Advisory for companies navigating listing requirements or ongoing disclosure obligations as a listed entity.

🔀

Advising on the legal route and approvals needed for mergers, demergers, and business transfers between group entities.

Why choose us

Why corporate law exposure often surfaces during a deal

What sets our approach apart.

Diligence for a future deal reviews years of past compliance

A missed resolution or filing from years ago frequently surfaces during due diligence for a fundraise or acquisition, when it is far harder and more expensive to fix.

Cross-border transactions have compounding regulatory layers

A transaction involving a foreign party can simultaneously trigger Companies Act, FEMA and tax considerations, and addressing them separately instead of together creates gaps.

Restructuring routes carry very different approval timelines

A merger, demerger or slump sale each involve different regulatory approvals and timelines, and choosing the route without legal input can add months to a transaction.

FAQs

Corporate Laws Consultants questions answered

What people ask before engaging us.

A corporate laws consultant advises on compliance with the Companies Act and related regulations, drafts and reviews board and shareholder resolutions and agreements, and structures transactions such as fundraises, mergers or restructuring exercises to ensure they are legally sound.
No, even early-stage private limited companies need ongoing Companies Act compliance for board meetings, resolutions and filings, and the advisory becomes more involved as fundraising, cross-border transactions or restructuring come into play.
A company secretary typically handles routine statutory filings and compliance administration, while corporate law advisory covers broader legal structuring, transaction advisory, and regulatory strategy across the Companies Act, FEMA, SEBI and related laws; the two roles often work together.
If your company is planning an eventual listing, or has already issued securities in a manner that brings it within SEBI's regulatory scope, early advisory helps structure governance and disclosure practices well before the formal listing process begins.
