The Indian Lawyer — Legal Tips

Quick counsel, from our desk to yours.

Practical, bite-sized guidance our lawyers wish every founder and NRI client knew before their first filing.

01

Register your trademark before you launch, not after.

A pending application won't stop a competitor from filing first — early filing is your strongest protection.

02

NRIs: repatriation limits differ by property type.

Sale proceeds from inherited property follow different RBI rules than self-purchased property — check before you transact.

03

A verbal agreement is still a contract in India.

Always follow up verbal business commitments with a written confirmation email — it holds up far better in disputes.

04

GST registration deadlines are stricter than they look.

Cross the threshold mid-month and the registration clock starts immediately, not from the next filing cycle.

05

Foreign directors need a DIN before incorporation, not after.

Apply for your Director Identification Number early — it's often the longest lead time in the setup process.

06

Arbitration clauses should always name a seat, not just a venue.

The "seat" determines which country's courts have supervisory power — get this wrong and enforcement gets complicated.
