Our Expertise

Avyakta Law covers corporate, transactional, and regulatory work for global corporations, financial institutions, and promoter-led businesses.

We work across practice areas to identify where regulatory, corporate and legal risks intersect—so that a solution in one area does not create exposure in another. Explore our core competencies below.

Practice Overview

We advise clients across the full lifecycle of corporate transactions, from initial structuring through to completion and post-closing integration. Our team brings commercial pragmatism to share and asset acquisitions, restructurings, and reorganisations, ensuring that each deal is executed efficiently and in line with our clients’ strategic objectives. We work closely with boards, promoters, and investors to anticipate risk, resolve deadlocks, and close transactions on agreed terms.
Our M&A practice advises domestic and multinational clients through every stage of the deal, whether a competitive auction, a bilateral negotiation, or a public takeover. We handle transaction structuring, negotiation and drafting of definitive agreements, regulatory clearances, and completion mechanics. Drawing on sector experience across industrials, financial services, and technology, we help acquirers and sellers protect value and manage the legal, commercial, and reputational dimensions of a transaction.
We advise on the formation, operation, and unwinding of joint ventures, structuring arrangements that balance the interests of each participant while preserving commercial flexibility. Our work spans shareholders’ agreements, governance frameworks, funding and exit mechanics, and the contractual architecture that underpins a working collaboration. Where disputes arise between partners, we help clients resolve them or, where necessary, exercise their contractual exit rights.
Our corporate advisory practice acts as ongoing counsel to companies, boards, and management teams on strategic and operational matters. We advise on capital structuring, group reorganisations, shareholder arrangements, and corporate housekeeping. Clients use us when they need a considered view on a problem before committing to a course of action.
We help overseas investors enter and expand within the Indian market, and assist domestic businesses in attracting and structuring inbound capital. Our advice covers entry strategy, sectoral caps and conditions, government approvals, and compliance with the foreign investment framework under FEMA and RBI regulations. We work to close the gap between regulatory requirements and commercial deal timelines.
Our regulatory advisory practice helps clients understand and comply with new regulations without disrupting operations. We advise on sector-specific regulations, including Indian securities laws and SEBI compliance, engage with regulators on approvals and clarifications, and design compliance frameworks that anticipate regulatory change.
We advise boards, committees, and senior management on corporate governance and compliance. Our work includes designing governance frameworks, advising on directors’ duties and board processes, and implementing policies that meet statutory and listing obligations. We help clients build compliance systems that work in practice—not just on paper.
We advise lenders, borrowers, and sponsors on the structuring and documentation of cross-border financing arrangements. Our experience spans term loans, working capital facilities, external commercial borrowings, and multi-jurisdictional security packages. We ensure that financing documents are bankable, security is properly perfected under Indian law, and regulatory conditions are met before drawdown.
Our due diligence practice scopes each investigation to the transaction, identifying material issues, quantifying exposure, and setting out findings in a format that feeds directly into deal negotiations. We separate what affects price from what affects structure, so clients know where to push.
We help promoters, founders, and investors plan and execute exits—whether through a trade sale, secondary transaction, or public offering. Our advice covers exit structuring, preparation of the business for sale, negotiation of terms, and management of the associated legal and regulatory steps. We focus on ensuring that the transaction closes on the agreed terms and timeline.
