Corporate & Commercial Law

Private Equity & Venture Capital

Legal advisory for PE/VC fund managers and portfolio companies on fund structuring, investment documentation, and exit transactions.

Overview

The Indian PE/VC ecosystem demands counsel that understands both the commercial dynamics of deals and the regulatory matrix — SEBI AIF regulations, FEMA FDI rules, RBI guidelines, and the tax implications of each structure. Corpus Juris Legal advises fund managers, LPs, and portfolio companies at every stage of the investment lifecycle.

Key Service Components

  • AIF fund structuring and SEBI registration
  • Term sheet review and negotiation
  • SHA and Investment Agreement drafting
  • Anti-dilution, liquidation preference, ROFR documentation
  • ESOP pool documentation
  • CCPS / OCPS instrument structuring
  • Board representation and information rights
  • Secondary transactions and liquidity events
  • Exit documentation — IPO, M&A, secondary sale

Why This Matters for Your Business

PE/VC documentation sets the financial and governance rules for years. Weak anti-dilution provisions, poorly drafted information rights, or ambiguous exit waterfalls create disputes at the worst possible time.
