Corporate & Commercial Law
Comprehensive corporate legal services for businesses of all sizes, from startups to established enterprises.
Navigating Complexity with Commercial Acumen
When you start a business, acquire a company, bring in a partner, or sign a major contract, you are making decisions that will shape your business for years. Most disputes, losses, and legal problems in business come from agreements that were poorly drafted, structures that were set up incorrectly, or regulatory steps that were missed. At HRU Legal, we make sure none of that happens to you. Whether you are a first-time founder, a growing family business, or an established company going through a merger, acquisition, or amalgamation, we give you legal advice that is built around what you actually need and where your business is headed.
We provide corporate and commercial legal services across every stage of a business's life: company formation, shareholder agreements, joint ventures, commercial contracts, mergers, demergers, amalgamations, regulatory filings, and post-transaction compliance. We do not wait for problems to appear. We work alongside you from the beginning, spotting risks early and making sure every legal step your business takes is sound, timely, and aligned with your goals. When you come to us, the work gets done properly.
Our Process
We view corporate law not as a series of isolated transactions, but as a continuous lifecycle of strategic management. Our process is designed to support your business at every stage of its evolution.

01Consultation and Strategy
Before we advise you on anything, we take the time to fully understand your business. We review your corporate structure, your shareholding arrangements, your existing contracts and their obligations, any pending statutory filings, and any areas of regulatory exposure you may be carrying. We do this without assumptions, because what clients often discover at this stage is that a clause in an old agreement limits their options, a deadline has already been missed, or a structural arrangement creates a risk they were unaware of.
At the end of this stage, you receive a Legal Strategy Note. This is a clear, practical document that tells you exactly where you stand today, what needs urgent attention, and what your legal roadmap should look like over the next one to three years. Every piece of work we do after this is connected back to that note, so nothing falls through the gaps and every legal step serves your business objectives.
This stage also tells us whether what you are planning is achievable right now or whether something needs to be fixed first, such as a structural issue, a regulatory clearance, or a prior obligation that must be resolved. Finding this out at the start saves you far more time and money than discovering it halfway through a transaction.
Domain Mastery
Mergers, Acquisitions and Amalgamations
We manage the complete process for mergers, acquisitions, and amalgamations, from initial due diligence and transaction structuring through to agreement execution, regulatory approvals including CCI notification, and post-closing integration. We provide advisory on company mergers, business acquisitions, asset purchases, demergers, and corporate restructuring across manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and consumer businesses.
Corporate Advisory
We provide ongoing legal counsel to boards and management teams, covering Companies Act 2013 compliance, board meeting requirements, related-party transaction procedures, SEBI LODR obligations for listed companies, and insider trading code maintenance. We attend board meetings, review proposed resolutions, and ensure your company's governance meets the standards that investors, lenders, and regulators expect.
Joint Ventures and Collaborations
We draft and negotiate joint venture agreements that clearly define how the entity is governed, how profits are shared, who owns the intellectual property, how partners can exit, and how disputes are resolved. We advise both Indian companies entering international joint ventures and foreign companies seeking to partner with Indian businesses, including full FEMA and sector-specific compliance.
Corporate Governance
We advise companies on building governance frameworks that satisfy the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI requirements, covering committee composition, board evaluation processes, whistleblower policies, and insider trading code compliance. Strong governance protects directors personally and builds the credibility that institutional investors and lenders require.
Due Diligence
Our due diligence reports are built for decision-makers. We provide a thorough review of title to assets, key contracts, litigation exposure, regulatory licences, intellectual property ownership, labour law compliance, and environmental clearances, presenting findings with a clear risk assessment and the conditions that must be satisfied before the transaction proceeds.
