Supporting innovation & start-ups
Many of the most exciting technologies in India today are being developed in start-ups. Entrepreneurs leading these ventures need legal partners who can simplify complexity and support growth.
Our start-up practice offers a one-stop legal solution for founders, covering:
- Early-stage capital raising and founders’ arrangements
- Employment law and intellectual property strategy
- ESOPs, licensing, privacy, distribution and franchising
- Outsourced product and content development
- Dispute resolution
With extensive in-house legal experience, we understand the role of a general counsel, and we deliver that level of support to early-stage companies.
Employment & People Strategy
People are at the heart of every successful business. As the economy transitions to a knowledge-driven model, attracting and retaining talent is more critical than ever.
We regularly advise clients on:
- Hiring and compensation structures
- ESOP design and implementation
- Employment policies and practices
- Employee welfare and regulatory compliance
- Discipline and terminations
A Holistic Perspective for Investors and Promoters
Our experience across technology, start-ups, employment, IP, and commercial law allows us to provide comprehensive legal representation to promoters, investors and acquirers. We address:
- Regulatory and compliance requirements
- Techno-legal considerations and sectoral nuances
- Disputes and risk management strategies
We also work closely with a select group of angel, seed and venture capital investors on investments in technology start-ups.
Giving Back
We believe in supporting the broader technology ecosystem. As part of our pro bono initiatives, we advise an Indian technology-focused think tank that works to build a thriving entrepreneurial environment in India.
