CORPORATE & COMMERCIAL

At Thistle&Law LLP, our Corporate & Commercial practice is built to support businesses at every stage of their journey, from incorporation and structuring, to strategic transactions, compliance, and beyond. We combine legal insight with commercial practicality, enabling founders, investors, and corporates to focus on scaling their vision while we take care of the legal framework.

We advise on choosing and setting up the right entity for your business, whether in India or overseas. From private limited companies, LLPs, and joint ventures to cross-border holding structures, we ensure your foundation supports scalability, attracts investment, and protects your long-term interests.

Our team assists with the entire deal lifecycle, from structuring, due diligence, and negotiations to documentation and regulatory approvals. We represent both investors and target companies, balancing commercial priorities with risk mitigation to achieve smooth closings.

Whether you’re entering into a joint venture, forming a strategic alliance, or partnering with another business, we craft clear, watertight agreements that align interests, allocate responsibilities, and anticipate risks , building relationships that stand the test of time.

Contracts form the backbone of business. We draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of agreements, including supply, distribution, licensing, franchising, services, technology transfer, and confidentiality contracts. Our focus is on clarity, enforceability, and safeguarding your commercial outcomes.

We advise on regulatory compliance and transactions involving SEBI, IBC, SARFAESI, RBI, and FEMA frameworks. From fundraising to debt restructuring, securities compliance to foreign exchange regulations, we help clients navigate the financial regulatory landscape with confidence.

We conduct thorough legal and commercial due diligence for investors, acquirers, and corporates, identifying red flags, assessing liabilities, and suggesting practical risk-mitigation measures. Our goal is to give you a clear picture before you make critical business decisions.

Our corporate tax practice ensures businesses remain compliant while optimizing their tax structures. We assist with direct and indirect taxes, GST filings, customs duties, and cross-border tax implications, providing solutions that align with evolving regulations.

Increasingly, businesses are expected to operate responsibly. We advise on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks, sustainability reporting, board governance, and ethical business practices, helping clients meet investor, regulatory, and societal expectations.

We guide companies through India’s evolving employment and labour law landscape. From drafting HR policies and employee contracts to advising on labour law compliance, workplace investigations, and employee stock option plans (ESOPs), we ensure your workforce management is both compliant and fair.

At Thistle&Law, we believe corporate and commercial advice must go beyond checklists and compliance. We work closely with businesses to understand their sector, strategy, and growth trajectory, offering not just legal support but a partner’s perspective. Whether you are a startup navigating your first investment round, or a global company expanding into India, our team ensures that your legal framework is robust, compliant, and aligned with your commercial goals.
