Regulatory Advisory
Globalization and liberalization have impacted Corporate India tremendously. Companies have undertaken cross-border transactions involving foreign investments and formed trade councils, leaving no stone unturned to make their presence felt globally. This dynamic environment is entwined in a complicated legal and regulatory labyrinth requiring compliance at every step. Our team helps clients focus entirely on their business growth while we handle the complexities of ensuring absolute compliance.
We assist our clients in examining proposed actions or strategies vis-à-vis the Indian regulatory environment. Our experts from varied service verticals work together to provide clear advice on matters concerning the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Company Law, Direct and Indirect taxes, labor matters, and Special Economic Zones (SEZ).

We help meet statutory requirements such as drafting and maintaining statutory records like minutes of meetings (Annual, Shareholders, Board), managing appointments and resignations of key personnel, and handling capital adjustments. We also organize office infrastructure and manpower during the transitional setup phase, including acting as nominee resident directors.
