Business & Corporate Law
At M&H Legal Associates, we provide comprehensive corporate legal solutions designed to support your business at every stage—from inception and structuring to daily compliance, contracts, mergers, and conflict resolution. In a dynamic and competitive business environment, having a trusted legal partner is essential for making informed decisions, minimizing risks, and securing long-term success.
Whether you’re a startup, SME, or large enterprise, our corporate law team offers practical, strategic, and cost-effective legal guidance tailored to your business goals.

Business Formation – Laying the Right Legal Foundation
Starting a business is more than an idea—it requires a strong legal structure. We assist entrepreneurs and organizations in forming and registering businesses that are compliant, scalable, and protected.
- Choosing the Right Entity – Assistance with LLP, Private Limited, Public Limited, Sole Proprietorship, or Partnership structures.
- Registration & Documentation – Drafting Articles of Association, MOA, partnership deeds, and filing with authorities.
- Licensing & Regulatory Approvals – Navigating through industry-specific licenses and statutory requirements.
- Startup Legal Advisory – Legal strategies for fundraising, IP protection, and compliance from day one.
Case Example: A group of tech entrepreneurs approached us to set up their SaaS startup. We advised them to register as a Private Limited Company, helped draft their founders’ agreement, and ensured they had IP protection clauses in place before onboarding investors.

Mergers & Acquisitions – Seamless Transitions
Mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring require careful legal analysis, risk mitigation, and compliance with corporate and securities laws.
- Legal Due Diligence – Examining contracts, liabilities, assets, and corporate governance documents.
- Transaction Structuring – Legal support for buyouts, share transfers, joint ventures, and amalgamations.
- Drafting M&A Agreements – Share Purchase Agreements (SPA), Asset Transfer Agreements, Non-Compete Clauses.
- Post-Merger Integration – Ensuring smooth corporate, HR, and compliance integration post-transaction.
Real-World Example: We represented a manufacturing firm during its acquisition by a foreign investor. Our team conducted thorough due diligence, identified pending litigations and unrecorded liabilities, and negotiated favorable terms before closing the deal.

Corporate Governance & Compliance – Keeping Your Business Legally Aligned
Corporate governance isn’t just about internal rules—it’s about transparency, accountability, and long-term trust. Our legal team ensures your business complies with national and local corporate laws, reducing liability and building credibility.
- Company Law Compliance – Filing of annual returns, board resolutions, ROC compliance, and shareholder meetings.
Drafting Board & Shareholder Documents – Clear and enforceable resolutions, notices, and minutes. - Regulatory Filings & Disclosures – Support with SEBI, RBI, MCA, FDI, and FEMA regulations.
Code of Conduct & Ethics – Developing ethical frameworks and whistleblower policies to prevent internal disputes.
Real-World Example: A mid-sized retail chain failed to file its annual returns, leading to penalties and director disqualification notices. Our firm stepped in, filed all pending ROC documents, and implemented a compliance calendar to ensure future adherence.

Intellectual Property (IP) Protection – Safeguarding Your Business Assets
Your ideas, brand, and creations are among your most valuable assets. We help you protect, register, and enforce your intellectual property rights, ensuring competitive advantage and brand security.
- Trademark Registration & Protection – Brand name, logo, and slogan protection under national IP laws.
- Copyright & Design Protection – Safeguarding original content, software, product designs, and creative work.
- Patent Advisory & Filing – Guidance on invention disclosures, provisional filings, and patent infringement matters.
- IP Enforcement & Litigation – Taking action against unauthorized use or IP theft, including cease-and-desist, negotiation, and court representation.
Real-World Example: A branding agency found a competitor using their trademarked slogan. Our legal team filed a cease-and-desist notice, initiated legal proceedings, and successfully secured damages for infringement.

Contract Drafting & Review – Ensuring Your Agreements are Air-Tight
Contracts are the backbone of business transactions. Poorly drafted or ambiguous contracts can result in disputes, losses, and legal complications. We offer:
- Custom Contract Drafting – Legally sound, customized contracts aligned with business objectives.
- Review & Risk Identification – Spotting loopholes, liability clauses, and compliance gaps.
- Key Agreements Covered:
-
Vendor Agreements
-
Franchise & Licensing Agreements
-
Employment & NDA Agreements
-
Distributor/Agency Agreements
-
Shareholder & Partnership Agreements
Real-World Example: A logistics company faced a ₹50 lakh loss due to a vaguely worded contract clause. After our team redrafted their vendor agreements, they saw a 70% drop in contract-related disputes over the next year.

Corporate Dispute Resolution – Resolving Conflicts Without Disruption
Business conflicts are inevitable. Our team helps resolve them efficiently and discreetly through litigation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques.
- Shareholder & Partner Disputes – Mediation or legal action for issues over profit sharing, mismanagement, or exits.
- Contract Breach Litigation – Enforcement or defense in breach of business contracts.
- Employee & Executive Disputes – Legal resolution of HR, severance, or misconduct issues.
- Arbitration & Mediation – Fast and cost-effective alternatives to lengthy litigation processes.
