Private Equity
Private equity investments require careful planning from the outset, with the commercial and legal framework established at the time of investment often determining the success of the transaction and the eventual exit. Our Private Equity practice advises domestic and international private equity funds, venture capital funds, family offices, institutional investors, promoters and portfolio companies across the entire investment lifecycle.
Overview
We advise clients on a broad range of investment transactions, including growth capital investments, minority and control acquisitions, co-investments, strategic investments, buyouts and secondary transactions. Our team works closely with investors and investee companies to structure transactions that balance commercial objectives with effective governance, regulatory compliance and appropriate risk allocation.
Our lawyers advise on every stage of the investment process, including transaction structuring, legal due diligence, negotiation and drafting of term sheets, share subscription agreements, shareholders’ agreements, share purchase agreements and other transaction documents. We also assist clients in obtaining regulatory approvals, implementing investment structures and navigating sector-specific regulatory requirements.
Experience
Our team regularly advises investors and portfolio companies on the rights and obligations that govern private equity investments, including governance arrangements, reserved matters, board representation, information rights, transfer restrictions, anti-dilution protections, liquidation preferences and exit mechanisms.
We have experience advising on investment transactions involving private equity funds, venture capital funds, institutional investors and promoters, including minority investments, control transactions, secondary transactions and strategic investments. Our lawyers also advise on regulatory considerations arising under the Companies Act, 2013, FEMA, FDI regulations, SEBI regulations and other applicable legal frameworks. By combining transaction experience with an understanding of investor protections and commercial objectives, we assist clients in structuring investments that provide clarity on rights, obligations and exit pathways throughout the investment lifecycle.
