International Client (US-Based) — India Entry & Compliance
Check how we set up a US technology company's Indian subsidiary in just 60 days — including twelve local hires, a signed office lease, and full POSH compliance. No in-house counsel hired, no delays. Just one retainer, one team, and a four-year relationship that's still going strong.
The Client is a US-based technology company setting up its first Indian subsidiary in Gurgaon.
The Problem
- Needed end-to-end legal support for incorporating an Indian entity, hiring local employees, signing office leases, and ensuring ongoing compliance — without setting up an in-house legal function in India.
What We Did Under the Retainer:
- Incorporated a private limited subsidiary with all statutory registrations
- Drafted India-compliant employment contracts and HR policies for 12 initial hires
- Reviewed and negotiated the office lease agreement
- Set up POSH compliance from day one with policy, training, and Internal Committee
- Acted as the local legal point of contact for the US parent company on all India matters
Final Result: The Indian subsidiary was operational within 60 days. The US parent company had full visibility into Indian legal compliance through monthly check-ins, with no need to hire in-house counsel in India. The relationship has continued for over 4 years.
