What is Shareholders Agreement Drafting CA?

What We Deliver

Completed MCA filing with official acknowledgment and Certificate (where applicable). Drafted constitutional documents, resolutions, and compliance certificates. Post-registration compliance checklist with due dates for the first year. Digital copies of all filed forms and supporting documents. Ongoing compliance calendar and advisory support.

Our Process

Step 1: Requirement analysis and entity structure advisory. Step 2: Document collection and verification. Step 3: Form preparation, DSC coordination, and MCA filing. Step 4: Follow-up with ROC until certificate/approval. Step 5: Post-completion compliance setup.

Our dual qualification as both Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary means we handle both financial and corporate governance compliance under one roof.

Yes. While we have physical offices in Chennai, Bangalore, and Mumbai for in-person meetings, most company law filings are handled digitally through the MCA portal. Documents can be shared securely via email or our client portal.
What needs review before I agree to these investment, sale or shareholder terms?
Review the economics: the price, the pre- and post-money valuation, the ESOP pool, adjustments for debt and working capital, and any earn-out. Review the rights: liquidation preference, anti-dilution, board seats and reserved matters, drag-along and tag-along, rights of first refusal, and founder vesting and non-compete terms. Review the regulatory steps: FEMA pricing and reporting for foreign investors, Companies Act approvals and valuation, stamp duty and the tax on any sale. Finally, check the diligence findings against the warranties and indemnities you are asked to give or receive. We review the numbers and compliance and explain the consequences; your advocate drafts and negotiates the legal documents.
