We take pride in working with a growth-oriented approach, committed to understanding your business requirements, goals, and objectives in-depth to provide customised solutions.
Starting a business is an exciting journey, but navigating the complex legal landscape can be daunting for startups. We specialise in providing tailored legal solutions to help startups succeed. We begin by guiding founders through the critical process of business incorporation, ensuring compliance with Indian regulations and selecting the optimal entity structure, whether a private limited company, LLP, or any other form. From founders’ agreements to investment term sheets and strategic partnership contracts, we provide legally robust documentation that safeguards business interests and minimizes potential disputes.
As your startup scales, we provide strategic legal solutions for funding rounds, regulatory adherence, and dispute resolution. Whether you’re raising capital through angel investors, venture capital, or crowdfunding, our firm ensures your interests are protected with investor-friendly yet founder-conscious agreements. With our deep understanding of the challenges startups face, we act as partners in your journey, helping you focus on innovation while we handle the legal complexities.
Investing in startups presents lucrative opportunities but comes with legal complexities and risks. Sequitur provides comprehensive legal support to help investors make informed and secure decisions. We conduct thorough due diligence to assess a startup’s financial, legal, and operational health, ensuring compliance with Indian regulatory requirements and mitigating potential risks. Our expertise extends to structuring investment agreements, including term sheets, shareholder agreements, convertible debentures, and notes, ensuring clarity on equity distribution, governance rights, and exit strategies. We also advise on tax-efficient investment structures to optimize returns while complying with Indian tax laws.
Beyond the investment, we offer ongoing legal support to help investors navigate disputes, monitor compliance, and manage exits such as buyouts and public listings. Our proactive approach ensures investors remain protected throughout the investment lifecycle.
