Bracket Legal

Our Practices

/01

Startup Advisory

Most legal problems at startups are not legal problems. They are cap table mistakes, handshake deals that were never documented, and ESOPs designed by someone who had never seen a liquidation waterfall. We fix those — and make sure they do not happen in the first place.

From your first term sheet to your Series B, we sit on your side of the table. We speak founder, we speak investor, and we know exactly where the two stop agreeing. Our job is to get you to closing — clean, fast, and without surprises buried in the schedules.

What We Do

  • Company incorporation and structuring
  • Co-founder and shareholder agreements
  • Term sheet and investment round negotiation
  • CCPS, CCD, and convertible instrument documentation
  • ESOP design and implementation
  • FEMA and RBI compliance for foreign investment
  • Ongoing statutory and compliance advisory

/02

Corporate & Commercial Law

A contract is only as good as what it says when things go wrong. We draft for that moment — not the signing dinner.

Bracket Legal advises companies on the agreements that hold their businesses together — and on the governance structures that keep them from falling apart. If your counterparty has good lawyers, you should too.

What We Do

  • Corporate governance and board advisory
  • Commercial contract drafting and negotiation
  • Joint ventures and strategic partnerships
  • Founders' agreements and buy-sell arrangements
  • Regulatory compliance and secretarial advisory
  • Group restructuring and reorganisations

/03

Mergers & Acquisitions

Deals fall apart in the gap between what was agreed and what was documented. We close that gap. Whether you are buying, selling, or merging, we bring the diligence, speed, and commercial judgment to get transactions done right.

We have advised on transactions across sectors — from early-stage acqui-hires to complex multi-party acquisitions. We understand the business logic of every deal we work on, not just the legal mechanics.

What We Do

  • Buy-side and sell-side M&A advisory
  • Due diligence and risk assessment
  • Transaction structuring and SPA drafting
  • Representations, warranties, and indemnity negotiation
  • Post-merger integration support
  • Cross-border transaction structuring

/04

Arbitration & Litigation

When commercial relationships break down, you need advocates who understand both the law and the business at stake. We represent clients before courts, tribunals, and arbitral forums — with precision, preparation, and a clear focus on outcomes.

Our approach is tactical. We assess the merits honestly, advise on settlement where it makes sense, and pursue disputes aggressively when it does not.

What We Do

  • Domestic and international arbitration
  • Commercial litigation before High Courts and trial courts
  • Shareholder and investor disputes
  • Regulatory enforcement proceedings
  • Interim relief and injunction applications
  • Pre-dispute risk assessment and strategy

/05

Real Estate & Infrastructure

Real estate transactions are only as clean as the title behind them. We conduct rigorous diligence so our clients know exactly what they are acquiring — and what they are not.

From commercial leases to large-scale infrastructure contracts, we advise developers, investors, and occupiers on transactions where the details matter most.

What We Do

  • Title due diligence and search reports
  • Sale, purchase, and development agreements
  • Commercial and residential lease negotiation
  • Real estate investment structuring
  • Infrastructure project contracts and concessions
  • RERA compliance and regulatory advisory

/06

Intellectual Property

Your brand, your technology, and your creative output are assets. We help you protect them, enforce them, and extract value from them — whether through licensing, litigation, or strategic IP structuring.

We advise startups building IP-heavy products, as well as established businesses looking to commercialise or defend their portfolios.

What We Do

  • Trademark registration and enforcement
  • Copyright advisory and licensing
  • IP audits and portfolio management
  • Technology transfer and IP assignment agreements
  • Confidentiality and non-compete structuring
  • IP due diligence for transactions

/07

Employment Law

Employment relationships are governed by more rules than most businesses realise — and the costs of getting them wrong compound over time. We help companies build compliant, well-documented employment frameworks from the ground up.

We also advise on sensitive situations: exits, severances, workplace disputes, and the legal exposure that comes with them.

What We Do

  • Employment contract drafting and review
  • HR policy frameworks and employee handbooks
  • POSH compliance and internal committee setup
  • Senior executive exits and settlement negotiations
  • Labour law compliance for startups and SMEs
  • Employment diligence in M&A transactions

/08

Taxation

Tax is not an afterthought. The way a transaction is structured can mean the difference between an efficient outcome and a costly one. We integrate tax thinking into every deal and advisory mandate from the start.

We advise on both direct and indirect tax matters, working alongside clients' finance teams and chartered accountants to deliver coordinated, commercially informed advice.

What We Do

  • Transaction tax structuring
  • Direct tax advisory for businesses and investments
  • GST advisory and compliance
  • Cross-border tax and transfer pricing guidance
  • Tax due diligence in M&A
  • Representation in tax disputes and assessments

/09

Insurance

Insurance policies are written by insurers, for insurers. When a claim arises, the language that seemed routine at the time of purchase becomes the entire battlefield. We advise policyholders and intermediaries who need clarity on what their policies actually cover.

We also advise on regulatory matters affecting insurance companies, brokers, and distribution arrangements under IRDAI's evolving framework.

What We Do

  • Insurance policy review and interpretation
  • Claims advisory and dispute resolution
  • D&O, E&O, and professional indemnity matters
  • IRDAI regulatory compliance
  • Insurance structuring for transactions
  • Reinsurance arrangement advisory
