Corporate & Transactions
From incorporation through fundraising, M&A, and exit, Vectis Law advises technology companies on the corporate and transactional structures that define their trajectory. We bring deep experience in venture capital and private equity transactions, startup incorporation and governance, and the full spectrum of M&A – from acqui-hires to strategic acquisitions. Our approach is commercially pragmatic: we structure deals that protect your interests while maintaining the speed and flexibility that technology markets demand. We understand cap tables, liquidation preferences, anti-dilution mechanics, and the downstream implications of early-stage decisions on later exits.

Regulatory Landscape
Corporate and transactional work for technology companies in India is governed by the Companies Act 2013, FEMA regulations covering outward and foreign direct investments, SEBI regulations for listed entities or companies approaching an IPO, and the Competition Act 2002 for merger control. The Income Tax Act 1961 impacts transaction structuring, while RBI regulations govern external commercial borrowings and downstream investments. We help clients navigate this multi-regulatory environment to structure transactions that are legally sound and commercially efficient.
Who We Serve
Our corporate and transactions practice serves early-stage startups incorporating and raising first capital, growth-stage companies raising Series A through C rounds, companies exploring or executing M&A as buyer or target, PE and VC funds conducting legal due diligence, and founders navigating exits or secondary transactions. We work with clients across the full corporate lifecycle.
