OVERVIEW

Legal consultation involves an initial review of a matter to identify the applicable area of law, the relevant procedural framework, and the range of options available before any formal steps are taken. This typically includes examining the facts presented, reviewing relevant documents, and identifying the statutes, rules, or precedents that apply to the situation — whether the matter falls under family law, civil or criminal procedure, property and consumer law, corporate and commercial law, intellectual property, cyber and employment law, immigration, or matters requiring engagement with government authorities. Depending on the nature of the matter, a consultation may result in advice on procedural next steps, an assessment of applicable limitation periods under the Limitation Act, 1963, or a recommendation on whether the matter is better resolved through litigation, arbitration, or negotiation.

Legal and contract drafting services cover the preparation, review, and revision of agreements, notices, and other legal documents to ensure they accurately reflect the terms intended by the parties and comply with applicable law under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and relevant sector-specific legislation. This can include drafting of commercial agreements, employment contracts, property-related documents such as sale deeds and lease agreements, partnership and shareholder agreements, and notices required under specific statutes — such as a legal notice preceding a civil suit, or a notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 in cases involving dishonoured cheques. Drafting work generally also involves ensuring that documents satisfy applicable stamp duty and registration requirements under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, and the Registration Act, 1908, where relevant.
