Company Formation & Incorporation

Company incorporation involves obtaining Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), Director Identification Number (DIN), name approval through RUN (Reserve Unique Name), drafting Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA), and filing incorporation documents with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). We handle the entire process including post-incorporation compliances such as PAN, TAN, and bank account opening.
You need identity proof (PAN card, Aadhaar), address proof, passport-size photographs, proof of registered office address (rent agreement/ownership documents), and utility bills. For foreign directors, passport and overseas address proof are required. We assist in preparing all necessary documents.
With proper documentation, company incorporation typically takes 7-15 working days. The timeline includes name approval (1-2 days), SPICe+ filing (5-7 days), and post-incorporation procedures. Delays can occur if documents need revision or clarification from ROC.
LLP offers limited liability with partnership flexibility, requires minimum 2 partners, has lower compliance requirements, and is suitable for professional services. Private Limited Company has separate legal entity status, can raise equity funding, has stricter compliance requirements, and is better for businesses seeking investment or planning expansion.

ROC Compliance & Annual Filings

Private limited companies must file annual returns (Form MGT-7) within 60 days of AGM, financial statements (Form AOC-4) within 30 days of AGM, conduct minimum 4 board meetings, hold Annual General Meeting within 6 months of financial year-end, maintain statutory registers, and comply with income tax and GST filings. We provide complete annual compliance management.
Delayed ROC filings attract additional fees and penalties proportional to delay period. Extended non-compliance can lead to director disqualification, striking off the company name, and legal prosecution. We help regularize delayed filings and restore compliance status.
Yes, dormant companies must still file annual returns (Form MGT-7A) and financial statements. Alternatively, companies can apply for dormant status under Section 455 to reduce compliance burden. Even dormant companies must maintain statutory registers and conduct minimum board meetings.

Intellectual Property & Trademarks

Trademark registration typically takes 12-18 months in India. The process includes trademark search (1-2 days), filing application, examination by trademark office (6-8 months), publication in trademark journal for opposition (4 months), and registration certificate issuance. We provide complete portfolio management throughout the process.
Yes, you can use your trademark with the ™ symbol once application is filed. However, you can only use the ® symbol after registration certificate is issued. Using ™ indicates you've claimed rights to the mark and filed for protection.
Trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of application filing. It can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods by filing renewal application 6 months before expiry. We provide trademark renewal reminders and filing services.
Register your brand name as a trademark and logo as a design/trademark. Conduct comprehensive trademark search before filing to avoid conflicts. Register across relevant classes of goods/services. Monitor for infringements and take enforcement action when necessary. We provide complete brand protection strategies.

Media & Entertainment Law

Yes, written contracts are essential for artists and influencers to protect their rights, define compensation, specify deliverables, address intellectual property ownership, and prevent disputes. Contracts should cover usage rights, exclusivity, payment terms, and termination clauses.
Production agreements should cover copyright ownership, distribution rights, revenue sharing, credits, delivery schedules, budget and payment terms, insurance, termination rights, dispute resolution, and liability clauses. We draft comprehensive production agreements protecting all parties' interests.
Copyright clearance involves obtaining permissions for using third-party content including music, images, footage, or literary works. This requires identifying copyright owners, negotiating licensing terms, obtaining written permissions, and maintaining clearance documentation. We handle complete copyright clearance and rights management.

Legal Agreements & Contracts

Written agreements provide legal clarity, prevent disputes, define rights and obligations, offer legal recourse in case of breach, protect intellectual property, and demonstrate professionalism. They're essential for employment, partnerships, service arrangements, and commercial transactions.
Employment contracts should include job title and description, compensation and benefits, working hours, probation period, confidentiality clauses, intellectual property assignment, non-compete provisions, termination terms, notice period, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
NDAs are needed when sharing confidential business information, trade secrets, or proprietary data with employees, contractors, potential investors, business partners, or vendors. They should be signed before disclosure discussions begin to ensure legal protection.
