Quick answer: Contract drafting and review
A well-drafted contract clearly sets out scope, payment terms, timelines, liability limits, termination rights, confidentiality and a dispute resolution clause (such as arbitration and seat). Reviewing a contract before signing helps you spot one-sided terms, missing protections and risks that are expensive to fix later. Law Chambers of Mridul Jindal handles these matters in Ghaziabad, Noida and Delhi. Call +91-8800669834.
Contracts That Protect You When Things Go Wrong
Most commercial disputes we see in court began with a contract that was copied from a template, left out a key risk, or said nothing about what happens when a payment is late or a relationship ends. A contract is worth most on the day something goes wrong, so it should be drafted with that day in mind.
The Law Chambers of Mridul Jindal drafts, reviews and negotiates commercial agreements for startups, established businesses and professionals in India, and for foreign companies working with Indian partners, vendors or customers. Because we also litigate and arbitrate disputes, our drafting draws on how contracts are actually tested in court.
Work is done online, so we serve clients across India and abroad as easily as those who visit our Indirapuram chamber.
Agreements We Draft and Review
Technology and SaaS: master services agreements (MSAs), statements of work, SaaS subscription agreements, terms of use, privacy policies, data processing agreements and service-level terms.
Confidentiality and IP: NDAs (mutual and one-way), IP assignment and licence agreements, and consultant and contractor agreements.
Company and investment: founders' agreements, shareholders' agreements, term sheets and investment documents, ESOP documents and advisor agreements. See also our startup and corporate advisory services.
Commercial: vendor and supply agreements, distribution, franchise and agency agreements, OEM and manufacturing agreements, and commercial leases.
Employment: appointment letters, employment agreements, confidentiality and non-solicitation clauses, and exit and settlement documents. See our employment disputes page.
What We Focus On in Every Contract
Payment and remedies: clear payment terms, interest on delay, rights to suspend or terminate, and what happens to work, data and money on exit.
Liability and indemnity: caps on liability, exclusions, indemnities and insurance that match the actual commercial risk on each side.
Enforceability under Indian law: for example, under Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, post-employment and many post-contract non-compete clauses are void, so protection is better built through confidentiality and non-solicitation terms. Stamp duty must also be paid correctly, because an unstamped or under-stamped agreement creates problems when it has to be enforced.
Data protection: clauses aligned with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 where personal data is processed or shared.
Disputes: a workable arbitration clause (seat, rules, number of arbitrators), governing law and jurisdiction, which matter especially in cross-border contracts. If a dispute has already arisen, see our commercial arbitration page.
How We Work
Step 1: a short call to understand the deal, the parties and the risks you are most concerned about.
Step 2: a first draft, or a marked-up review of the other side's draft with comments explaining each change in plain language.
Step 3: revisions and, where needed, support during negotiation with the other side, until the agreement is ready to sign. Most commercial contracts can be signed electronically under the Information Technology Act, 2000, with some exceptions, such as wills, powers of attorney and contracts for the sale of immovable property.
Please contact us with the draft or a short note on the deal. This page is general information, not legal advice.
