Overview
A well-drafted contract is the cheapest insurance policy a business will ever buy. We draft, redline and negotiate agreements that allocate risk with precision — using clear language, layered remedies and exit mechanics that survive courtroom scrutiny.
Our drafting desk works alongside our litigation team — meaning every clause we draft is informed by what gets fought over in Delhi High Court and beyond. Boilerplate is treated with the same seriousness as commercial terms, because that is what gets fought over.
We work with founders, listed companies, MSMEs and overseas counterparties. Whether you need a single MSA reviewed by tomorrow morning or a complete contract template suite for your Indian operations, our turnaround discipline is among the firm's strongest.
Agreements We Routinely Draft
- Master Services Agreements (MSA), SaaS & technology licensing
- Shareholder Agreements (SHA), Share Purchase Agreements (SPA), Joint Ventures
- Distribution, franchise, agency, vendor & supply contracts
- Employment, ESOP, consultancy & confidentiality agreements
- Real-estate transaction documents — agreements to sell, conveyance, leave & licence
- Cross-border services and outsourcing contracts with India-specific carve-outs
- Construction, EPC and project finance documentation
Our Drafting Philosophy
We use plain English where it works, technical precision where it must. Each clause carries an internal annotation noting its purpose, risk and litigation history. Boilerplate is treated with the same seriousness as commercial terms — because that is what gets fought over. Our redlining playbook layers risk allocation, remedies, indemnity caps and dispute resolution into clauses that survive courtroom scrutiny.
Review & Redlining
- Risk heat-maps with red/amber/green flags
- Negotiation playbook tailored to your bargaining position
- Indemnity caps, limitation of liability and insurance alignment
- Compliance with Indian Contract Act, Specific Relief Act, FEMA & sectoral rules

Industry-Specific Templates
- Tech & SaaS: data processing addendums, SLAs, IP carve-outs, source-code escrow
- Manufacturing: supply, distribution, franchising with anti-competition compliance
- Healthcare: clinical trial agreements, DPDP Act compliance, telemedicine
- Real estate: JDA, area-sharing, RERA-compliant agreements to sell
- Media: licensing, cinematographic acquisition, music publishing
Cross-Border Drafting
We routinely draft contracts where one party is Indian and the counterparty foreign. Key issues: governing law (Indian Contract Act vs. foreign law), dispute resolution (Indian arbitration vs. SIAC/ICC), FEMA-compliant payment mechanics, and stamp duty under the Indian Stamp Act and applicable State Schedules. We coordinate with foreign counsel where needed.
