Overview
Corporate actions such as mergers, demergers, restructuring, and changes in capital structure require not only procedural compliance but also careful planning, accurate valuation, and alignment with applicable legal provisions.

Transactions of this nature involve multiple stakeholders, regulatory approvals, and documentation requirements. Any gaps in structuring or execution can lead to delays, regulatory observations, or challenges in implementation.

Scope

We provide end-to-end support in relation to:

• Mergers and amalgamations under Sections 230–232 of the Companies Act, 2013
• Fast track mergers under Section 233
• Acquisition and purchase of minority shareholding (including Section 235/236 scenarios)
• Demergers and business restructuring arrangements
• Cross-border mergers and related FEMA compliance aspects
• Reduction of share capital and other capital restructuring actions
• Issue, transfer, and reclassification of securities
• Valuation-related requirements in accordance with applicable provisions

Approach

The engagement begins with understanding the commercial objective of the transaction and evaluating the most suitable structure from both legal and practical perspectives.

The process includes:

• Structuring the transaction in line with applicable provisions
• Coordinating valuation and documentation
• Ensuring compliance with procedural requirements and timelines
• Liaising with regulatory authorities and stakeholders where required

The focus is on ensuring that both documentation and execution are aligned, reducing the risk of delays or objections.
