Running a business in India means dealing with legal challenges regularly — vendor contracts, employee terminations, IP infringement, debt recovery, commercial litigation, POSH complaints, and regulatory notices. But most small and mid-sized businesses cannot afford a full in-house legal team because a full-time in-house legal department in Gurgaon, Noida, or Delhi NCR costs Rs. 12–25 lakh per year in salary alone, before overheads, benefits, and recruitment costs.
Monthly legal retainer services from SPJ Advocates & Co. give you the same legal support at a much lower, predictable monthly cost. You get a dedicated legal team you can reach by phone, email, or WhatsApp whenever a legal issue arises. We've been providing legal retainer services to businesses in Gurgaon, Noida and Delhi NCR for over 15 years. We currently advise 100+ national and international clients on long-term retainer agreements across sectors including manufacturing, IT, NBFCs, logistics, healthcare, hospitality, education, automotive, entertainment, and corporate services.
If you already have an in-house legal team, we support them in three ways: we offer a second expert opinion on complex matters, reduce their workload during busy periods, and provide specialized advice whenever needed.
If you don't have a legal team, we work as your external legal department. We provide practical advice crucial to running your day-to-day activities and resolve your business legal matters — so that you can make business decisions with confidence and clarity.
With a fixed monthly fee, you control your legal costs in advance — no surprise bills, no per-email charges, and no worrying about extra payment every time you need to call your lawyer.
We offer three retainer structures designed around real business needs. All plans include a 24-hour response guarantee on queries received during business hours. Final pricing is customized based on your industry, business size, and specific legal requirements.

What's not included in any plan: Court appearance fees, stamp duty, government filing fees, and major one-off transactions like M&A drafting or large commercial agreements are billed separately — but retainer clients receive preferential rates on all such work.

Over 15+ years, we've built deep familiarity with the legal patterns of specific sectors. Our current retainer clients include:
1. Legal support Is Always Available:
In businesses, legal issues can come up at any time. With a legal retainer, you don't need to search for a lawyer every time. An expert law firm is always ready to advise you or take action whenever you need help.
2. Best choice for small and growing businesses
Hiring a full-time legal team is expensive for small and growing businesses. That's why corporate legal retainer model is a cost-effective solution that provides the legal support without high costs.
3. Better Control over Legal Costs
With a monthly fixed fee, you can analyze your legal expenses in advance and avoid sudden or unexpected bills.
4. Fewer Legal Problems in the Future
Regular legal support helps identify risks at early stage before they convert into disputes, penalties, or expensive court cases.

15+ Years, Trusted by 100+ Active Clients
We've been running corporate legal retainers since before it became a popular model in India. Today we serve 100+ active retainer clients — from Indian SMEs to international corporations, and 17 of our retainer clients have been with us for over 10 years.
A Real Team — Not a Solo Practitioner
Your retainer is backed by a multi-disciplinary team led by Managing Partner Sunita Sharma. You don't lose coverage when one lawyer is in court.
Physical Presence in Delhi NCR
Offices in Gurgaon, Noida, and Delhi mean we can show up in person across the entire NCR — for client meetings, court appearances, registrar visits, or police station support. Most boutique firms can't offer this.
Fixed Monthly Fee. Unlimited Access. Zero Surprises.
In India, lawyers and traditional law firms typically bill either on an assignment basis or by the hour — which creates two problems for growing businesses: unpredictable legal costs and hesitation to ask for help when you need it most. SPJ Advocates solves both with a fixed-fee retainer model designed for Indian growing businesses
Pan-India Litigation Network
For matters outside Delhi NCR, we coordinate with vetted local counsel so you have a single point of contact for legal matters anywhere in India.
