Agreements and Contracts

Although often used interchangeably, “agreement” and “contract” have different legal meanings under Indian and international law. It is important to understand the difference to ensure enforceability and manage risk in business relationships.

 

What Is an Agreement?

An agreement is a shared understanding between two or more parties that outlines their respective roles, responsibilities, and expectations. It may be oral or written and does not always carry legal enforceability.

 

What Is a Contract?

A contract is a legally binding agreement that meets all the essential elements prescribed under law, particularly the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The contract is legally binding and can be upheld in court if either party fails to fulfil its obligations.

Types of Agreements & Contracts

Agreements serve as the groundwork for defining intent, protecting interests, and creating the foundation for future contractual relationships. Here are the primary types of legal agreements we offer:

Non‑Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

NDAs safeguard your confidential information, trade secrets, and IP when dealing with third parties. We draft both mutual and one-way NDAs that are compliant and enforceable.

Shareholder & Founders’ Agreements

These agreements define ownership rights, governance mechanisms, profit-sharing terms, and exit clauses. They’re essential for startups and private companies to avoid internal disputes.

Joint Venture & Collaboration Agreements

Ideal for strategic alliances, these agreements outline capital contributions, operational roles, profit allocation, and control rights between partnering businesses.

Licensing & Franchising Agreements

Protect your intellectual property and brand assets with tailored agreements defining usage rights, royalty terms, and territorial restrictions.

Intellectual Property (IP) Agreements

We help protect innovations such as patents, trademarks, and software through agreements that set terms for ownership, licensing, and enforcement.

Lease, Rent & Property Agreements

These agreements cover commercial or residential properties and include rental terms, payment conditions, maintenance duties, and legal compliance with stamp duty and tenancy laws.

Types of Contracts

Contracts are legally binding arrangements that clearly define each party's rights and obligations. Our drafting ensures enforceability, regulatory compliance, and business alignment.

Service Agreements

These contracts define the work involved, expected results, cost terms, quality standards, and project timelines. They are important for defining the client-service provider relationship.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

SLAs detail key performance indicators (KPIs), turnaround times, uptime guarantees, and penalties. They are especially relevant in IT, SaaS, and managed services.

Employment Contracts

We draft employee contracts that include job roles, compensation, notice periods, confidentiality clauses, and labour law compliance.

Contractor Agreements

These contracts clarify the scope, project duration, payment, liability, and IP rights for freelancers, consultants, and external collaborators.

Vendor & Supplier Contracts

Used to manage procurement and supply chain operations, these contracts define quality standards, delivery schedules, pricing, and liability.

Distribution Contracts

Distribution agreements establish rights to market and sell products, territory coverage, sales targets, pricing models, and termination clauses.

Agreement & Contract Drafting Process

1. Discovery & Requirement Analysis

We begin with a detailed discussion to identify your objectives, stakeholders, risk exposure, and specific operational needs. This ensures a firm legal foundation based on your real-world requirements.

 

2. Draft Preparation

Utilizing industry best practices and applicable legislation, we prepare a draft contract aligned with your goals. Expect precise clauses, clear definitions, and a logical flow of rights and responsibilities.

 

3. Feedback & Negotiation

We welcome your input and support in negotiations with stakeholders. With each round of revisions, we narrow down complexities to produce a final, mutually agreed-upon version.

 

4. Execution & Formalities

Once finalized, we assist with stamping, notarization, and any required registration. You’ll receive the completed contract in both digital and physical formats for your records.

 

5. Ongoing Review & Support

Need contract renewals, amendments, or help to enforce a term? We offer continued legal support so that your agreements remain effective and adaptive to future changes.
