Legal Risk & Advisory

The cheapest matter is the one that doesn't happen. Our advisory practice maps your enterprise risk surface, runs the audits that find the cracks, and writes the playbook that closes them, before the cracks become claims, regulatory notices, or board-level surprises.

What We Handle

Scope of Work

  • Cross-functional compliance health-checks (legal, finance, HR, IT, data)
  • Risk register design with severity scoring and executive escalation paths
  • Regulatory mapping: Companies Act, FEMA, SEBI, GDPR, DPDP, sectoral regulators
  • Vendor, counterparty, and supply-chain risk reviews
  • Crisis-response retainers: regulatory raids, employee actions, data-breach response
  • Board-level risk reporting and audit-committee support
  • Annual playbook updates with quarterly review cadence
  • M&A buy-side risk diagnostics for acquirers and sponsors

Frequently Asked

Legal Risk & Advisory, in Plain Answers.

The questions enterprise buyers, GCs, and procurement teams ask most before engaging on this practice.

What does a Legal Risk & Advisory engagement include?

A diagnostic phase (30-day risk-surface mapping with stakeholder interviews and document sampling), a findings memo with prioritised gap list and severity scores, a playbook with SOPs, document templates, and an ownership map for every control, and an ongoing retainer for quarterly review and on-call counsel.

Who in the company is the typical buyer?

Boards, GCs, CXOs, and audit-committee chairs of mid-market and large enterprises with cross-border footprints. Listed companies under SEBI continuous-disclosure obligations. Acquirers diligencing targets ahead of close.

How is this different from an external audit?

External audits look back; risk advisory looks forward. We map the regulatory, contractual, and operational risk surface, score and prioritise the gaps, write the SOPs to close them, and stay engaged on the retainer to fix them in motion. Auditors find the leaks; we fix the plumbing.

What regulators / frameworks do you cover?

Companies Act, FEMA / RBI, SEBI, EU GDPR, UK GDPR, India's DPDP Act, sectoral regulators (telecom, fintech, healthcare, ed-tech), plus contractual obligations across vendor, customer, and channel-partner agreements.

How is the engagement priced?

Diagnostic phase is fixed-fee scoped to portfolio size (typically four to eight weeks). The follow-on retainer is monthly or quarterly with a defined scope of work, on-call counsel, and an annual playbook refresh.
