Advising clients across India
Businesses rarely encounter important decisions within a single legal or regulatory box.
A transaction may involve company law, governance, securities regulation, FEMA, contracts, intellectual property and commercial considerations at the same time.
Our role is to understand the wider matter, identify the issues that matter, coordinate the relevant expertise and help clients move from decision to execution.
With more than a decade of professional experience, CS Arjun Jagannivas advises companies, promoters and boards on corporate governance, corporate structuring, regulatory matters, capital transactions and restructuring.
View ProfileAdv. Gokil Jagannivas brings legal expertise to corporate and commercial matters, contractual issues, intellectual property and dispute-related matters.

Promoter & Family AdvisoryEach practice brings together the corporate, regulatory and legal work a matter actually requires.
Corporate structures designed around the business, its ownership and its long-term objectives.
Advisory and execution support for significant corporate transactions and structural changes.
Navigating the regulatory environment surrounding Indian businesses and cross-border transactions.
Legal support for the agreements, relationships and risks surrounding a business.
Protecting the intangible assets that businesses build over years.
Professional assistance in matters requiring structured regulatory and corporate intervention.
Certain matters require expertise beyond the principal practice areas.
Governance, ownership structures, succession planning and long-term organisation of closely held businesses.

Corporate preparedness around data protection, technology contracts, governance frameworks and emerging regulatory issues.
Corporate governance and regulatory considerations surrounding sustainability and ESG-related requirements.
BIS, ISO and other technical and regulatory frameworks relevant to businesses and manufacturing enterprises.
Promoter-led businesses often evolve from a single operating company into a group of companies, investments, properties, partnerships and family interests. At that stage, informal arrangements become difficult to manage.
The objective is not simply to maintain the existing structure. It is to build one capable of supporting the next stage of the business.
We assist Indian businesses, NRIs, overseas investors and international businesses with corporate and regulatory matters involving India: inbound investment, outbound structures, and the FEMA and RBI requirements that connect them.
A consistent method, whether the matter is a board question or a group restructuring.
We begin with the commercial objective, not merely the form or filing.
We identify the corporate, legal and regulatory issues affecting the matter.
We develop an appropriate route and identify the approvals, documentation and professional inputs required.
We coordinate implementation, documentation, filings and regulatory processes.
Where required, we remain involved beyond the immediate transaction through ongoing governance and advisory support.
Significant matters receive direct senior professional involvement.
Advice considers the commercial objective alongside the legal and regulatory framework.
Corporate secretarial, legal, regulatory and specialist perspectives are coordinated around the matter.
Sensitive corporate, promoter, transaction and dispute matters are handled with confidentiality and professional discretion.
The objective is not merely to identify an issue, but to help clients reach a workable solution.
We build professional relationships that remain valuable as the client's business evolves.
Rather than publishing client names where confidentiality may apply, we present our experience by matter category.
Corporate reorganisations, mergers, demergers, capital restructuring and group-level structural matters.
Rights issues, preferential allotments, private placements and related corporate processes.
Corporate, securities, FEMA/RBI and other regulatory matters.
Board, shareholder and corporate governance matters for closely held and professionally managed businesses.
Trademark portfolio management, prosecution, opposition and brand protection matters.
NCLT-related matters, schemes, regulatory proceedings and complex corporate situations.
Important matters require both judgement and execution.
