Why Businesses Choose Corpus Juris Legal
A commercial contract is only as valuable as its enforceability in a dispute. Contracts drafted using templates, adapted from foreign precedents, or assembled by non-lawyers carry hidden risks: ambiguous payment terms, unenforceable penalty clauses, inadequate limitation-of-liability provisions, and IP ownership clauses that do not reflect Indian law. Corpus Juris Legal drafts agreements from first principles — understanding the commercial intent, mapping the risk allocation, and producing documents that reflect Indian law and Indian commercial practice. We handle agreements from straightforward NDAs to complex multi-party technology and infrastructure contracts.
- Commercial agreements — master service agreements, framework contracts
- Vendor and supplier contracts — Indian and cross-border
- Technology agreements — SaaS, software licensing, API terms
- Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements (India-specific)
- Distribution, agency and franchise agreements
- Shareholder and joint venture agreements
Frequently Asked Questions
Are liquidated damages clauses enforceable in India?+
Under Section 74 of the Indian Contract Act 1872, liquidated damages are enforceable only to the extent of "reasonable compensation" — courts do not automatically award the contracted amount. Penalty clauses should be calibrated to actual anticipated loss and supported by evidence of loss calculation methodology.
What governing law and dispute resolution should we use with an Indian counterparty?+
For domestic contracts, Indian law governs and disputes may be resolved through Delhi-seated arbitration (DIAC or ad-hoc) or commercial court litigation. For cross-border contracts with foreign parties, Singapore seat, Singapore law, and SIAC arbitration offer neutrality and international enforceability.
How should technology agreements handle IP ownership in India?+
IP ownership requires explicit assignment language — Indian courts do not imply an assignment from a work-for-hire arrangement except in employment contexts. Custom development contracts must include express assignment of all IP created, including code, improvements, and derivative works.
