"Most deals don't fail because of bad lawyers. They fail because the legal, financial, and governance layers were never talking to each other. We fix that — before the term sheet hits the table."
— The Startup Gig Advisory Philosophy
We don't hand you off between departments. Every vertical feeds into the others — so your term sheet, cap table, governance, and compliance all move as one.
We negotiate, structure, and close. Term sheets, SHAs, secondary transactions, and venture structuring — with partner-level involvement from first call to final signature.
Ownership is the only asset that matters in a startup. We model dilution scenarios, design vesting structures, and build liquidity pathways that keep founders aligned through Series D and beyond.
Bad governance at seed creates a mess at Series B. We structure decision rights, founder protections, and board dynamics — so control stays where it should.
Legal, CA, and CS — unified. Entity structures, FEMA/FDI compliance, corporate secretarial, and cross-border setups. One team, one thread, zero gaps.
When the round is live, speed matters. We run legal, financial, and tax diligence, build the data room, and prepare valuation reports — so investors have no reason to pause.
For foreign businesses and investors entering India. We handle entity setup, regulatory mapping, local governance, and ongoing compliance — so you operate with certainty from day one.
We don't serve everyone. We serve founders, investors, and global businesses who are past the "just get it done cheap" stage — and into the "get it done right" stage.
You've raised — or you're about to. The term sheet is on the table and the stakes are real. You need someone who's been across that table before.
You're deploying capital into India's venture ecosystem. You need trusted counsel on your side of the table — not a firm that also represents the founder.
You're setting up in India and you need one firm that handles entity structure, regulatory compliance, and local governance — without juggling five vendors.
"Before we move documents, we align incentives. We negotiate from position, not pressure. And we stay at the table for every decision that matters."
Most firms hand you a draft and disappear. We stay involved through negotiation, structuring, and close. Partner-level attention. Focused client roster. No volume game.
Legal, financial, tax, and governance — handled as one unit. Not four firms. Not four invoices. One thread.
You talk to decision-makers. Not associates. Not juniors. From the first call to the final signature.
We don't scale through volume. We stay close to the companies and investors we advise. That's how we stay useful.
We don't start drafting until the strategy is clear. Alignment first. Documents second. That's how deals close clean.
India, Singapore, Dubai, US, UK. Cross-border structuring is not a side offering — it's core to how we advise.
We don't count clients. We count outcomes — rounds closed, structures that held up, and founders who kept control when it mattered.

Continuous advisory
since 2015
No discovery forms. No 20-question intake. A structured conversation to understand the deal, the dynamics, and where we can add the most leverage.
We listen to the deal context — the stage, the players, the pressure points. No sales pitch. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
We map the legal, financial, tax, and governance layers. Then we identify where the deal is vulnerable — and what needs to happen before documents move.
Before drafting a single clause, we align expectations between founders, investors, and co-parties. Negotiation happens here. Not in markup.
Documents, diligence, filings, and compliance — handled as one coordinated push. No loose ends. No surprises. Deal closes clean.
Most firms in this space optimise for one dimension.
We combine the advisory depth of a top-tier firm with the proximity of a founder's trusted counsel.
