Why Legal Compliance Is No Longer Optional for Growing Businesses.
Today, in the context of the dynamic business environment in which we live , compliance is no longer an event but is essential to succeeding as a business. As a new venture or mature organization, if you do not have an understanding for when and how to comply with your obligations those consequences will be expensive fines, loss of reputation for you and your business, and in some cases criminal liability.
What is Legal Compliance?
●
Adherence to the Companies Act,
2013 for incorporation and business management
●
Meeting SEBI and FEMA regulations
if you are a company involved with investments or foreign investment
●
Lodging statutory financial
reporting and annual returns properly and in a timely manner
●
Adherence to labour laws, to tax
obligations, to environmental laws, and sector-specific laws
All four of these can get complicated
quickly. That’s where corporate
lawyer services come in.
Why do businesses need corporate
lawyers and compliance experts?
●
A corporate
lawyer will draft, review and negotiate your business contracts
●
They deal with mergers,
acquisitions, investor's agreements and regulatory filings
●
A compliance
lawyer means you'll be ready for an audit and won't be involved
in unnecessary litigation or penalties
For instance, an inadequate disclosure
under SEBI could involve a penalty of lakhs - which is completely avoidable
with proper legal expertise
