Corporate & Business Law

Your Shareholders' Agreement probably doesn't protect you the way you think — until the day you need to exit.

Drag-along rights, anti-dilution mechanics, reserved matters — most founders only discover a gap in their SHA when a funding round or acquisition is already on the table. By then, renegotiating costs leverage. A governance health-check catches it early.

Corporate counsel for every stage of the business lifecycle

Lynx Legal Partners LLP is a Mumbai-based corporate and business law practice advising founders, promoters, investors, and enterprises from incorporation through complex M&A, regulatory compliance, and cross-border transactions.

India's corporate law framework is shifting fast — fast-track merger reforms, SEBI's LODR updates, the new Income Tax Act, and an evolving FDI policy. You don't need a full retainer to get current. You need someone to check the two or three documents that matter most right now.

Where most engagements start

A fixed-fee governance & SHA health-check — review of your shareholders' agreement, board resolutions and ROC compliance status, scoped and priced upfront. Clients typically move to ongoing secretarial compliance, M&A support, or an outside-GC retainer.
