Common questions

We are a startup. When should we speak to a lawyer?

Ideally before you sign founder agreements, take investment or enter a major contract. These documents are much easier to get right at the start than to fix later.

Can a foreign company invest in my Indian business?

Often, yes, but foreign investment is subject to FDI rules that vary by sector. We can check what applies to your business.

These answers are general information, not legal advice. Every situation is different. Speak with us about yours.

Not sure where to start?

Tell us what's happening in your own words. We'll help you understand your options.
