Law

The instruments this practice works under, and what each one does. Written in our own words, with the operative provisions quoted where they carry the obligation.

A page here states what an instrument does and who it binds, as at a stated date. It is not advice on any matter, and it says nothing about what the outcome of a matter under that instrument would be. Where a provision is quoted, the words are reproduced as printed and the primary text on India Code is linked beside them.

Instruments with a page

  • The Companies Act, 2013

    The Act that constitutes a company in India, states what its board owes it, and sets the consequences of default. It governs the organs of the company and the conduct of the people who run it rather than the bargains the company strikes.

    Boardroom and corporate, Capital markets, Civil disputes, Insolvency, PMLA, Projects and land, Transaction advisory, White-collar and cyber defence

  • The Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999

    The Act that governs dealings in foreign exchange and cross-border holdings of Indian residents. It replaced a criminal regime with a civil one, and it divides the field into current account transactions, which are largely permitted, and capital account transactions, which are permitted only as the rules and regulations under it allow.

    PMLA, RERA and real estate, Transaction advisory, White-collar and cyber defence

  • The Indian Contract Act, 1872

    The Act that decides when a promise is enforceable in India and what a party may recover when one is broken. It sets the conditions every commercial agreement has to meet rather than the terms any particular agreement carries.

    Banking, SARFAESI and DRT, Boardroom and corporate, Civil disputes, Contracts and procurement, IP and licensing, Projects and land, Technology, data and product, Transaction advisory
