    Legal & Documentation.

    Commercial agreements decide who pays, who carries risk and what happens when plans change. We draft and review vendor and client contracts, NDAs, MOUs and shareholders', loan, franchise and lease agreements from a commercial, tax and corporate-law standpoint, and manage stamp duty and execution. Novarthaa is a CA and CS firm, not a law firm; matters needing legal representation or litigation are referred to advocates.

    How it works

      We prepare a first draft or a marked-up review, with notes explaining each significant clause.

      We work through the other side's comments, typically over one to three rounds, and keep a clear record of changes.

    4. 4

      Execution formalities

      We confirm signing authority, stamp duty under the state stamp law by e-stamping, franking or stamp paper, and registration under the Registration Act, 1908 where it is compulsory.

      Follow-through

      We complete related corporate filings and give you a summary of obligations, dates and renewal triggers.

    1. Vendor Agreement Drafting

      A vendor agreement sets out what you are buying, at what price, to what standard and with what remedies if things go wrong.

    2. Client Agreement Review

      Before you sign a customer's contract, it pays to know what you are agreeing to on payment terms, liability, indemnities, intellectual property and termination.

    3. NDA Drafting

      A non-disclosure agreement protects business information you share with a prospective partner, investor, vendor or consultant.

    4. MOU Drafting

      A memorandum of understanding records what two or more parties have agreed in principle before a detailed contract is signed, whether for a joint venture, distribution tie-up or collaboration.

    5. Shareholders Agreement

      A shareholders' agreement governs how a company's owners work together: board seats, decisions needing everyone's consent, funding, share transfers and exits.

    6. Loan Agreement Drafting

      A loan agreement records the amount, interest, repayment, security and default terms of a loan, and it is the document lenders, auditors and tax officers will ask to see.

    7. Franchise Agreement

      A franchise agreement lets a franchisee run a business under your brand and system in a defined territory, in return for fees and adherence to your standards.

    8. Lease Deed Vetting

      Leasing an office, shop or warehouse commits you to rent, deposits, escalations and lock-in periods for years.
