FAQ

What documents do I need to start an M&A or Joint Venture?

You’ll typically need your mandate, shareholding (cap) table, financial statements, key contracts, list of intellectual property, licences, record of ongoing disputes, access to a data room, and promoter declarations.

How long does a mid-market deal usually take?

If everything is well-prepared and only standard approvals are required, most deals close within 6–12 weeks from signing the term sheet. Timelines may extend if sector-specific approvals are needed or if due diligence uncovers issues.

Can you help with FDI and post-deal compliance?

Yes. We handle FEMA/FDI structuring, regulatory filings, and ongoing compliance, including secretarial and governance requirements, so you remain compliant even after closing.

What if negotiations get stuck?

We work to get the deal moving by re-balancing risk, suggesting practical trade-offs, or pausing to resolve diligence issues. If needed, we also prepare fallback dispute resolution strategies to protect your interests.
