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
