We understand the complex legal and commercial considerations involved in joint ventures. We strive to protect our client’s interests while facilitating mutually beneficial relationships and successful business ventures.
Our Services:
1. Shareholders Agreement: A shareholder’s agreement is a contract between the company’s shareholders. It sets out the shareholders’ rights, responsibilities, and obligations, as well as the mechanisms for decision-making, ownership transfer, dispute resolution, and other essential matters. The agreement aims to protect the interests of the shareholders and establish a framework for their relationship within the company.
2. Share Subscription Agreement (SSA): A share subscription agreement is a contract between a company and an investor or shareholder. It outlines the terms and conditions under which the investor will subscribe to and purchase shares in the company. The agreement typically covers details such as the number of shares, the subscription price, payment terms, representations and warranties, and other specific provisions related to the share issuance.
3. Business Transfer Agreement: A business transfer agreement, also known as an asset purchase agreement or business sale agreement, is a legal contract that governs the transfer of a business from one party (the seller) to another (the buyer). It includes the terms and conditions of the sale, such as the assets and liabilities being transferred, purchase price, payment terms, representations and warranties, non-compete provisions, and any other pertinent transaction details.
4. Slump Sale: A slump sale refers to transferring an entire business undertaking or a part thereof as a going concern without individually valuing the assets and liabilities being transferred. Slump sale involves transferring the whole business, including its assets, liabilities, contracts, employees, and other relevant elements. The transaction is typically governed by a slump sale agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions of the transfer.
5. Corporate Finance: Our expertise in corporate finance transactions allows us to advise Indian companies on various financial matters, including debt and equity financing, securities offerings, and regulatory compliance. We work closely with our clients to understand their financing needs and provide innovative and effective solutions to help them achieve their business objectives.
