Our Wide Range of Corporate Law Services Include:

Business Divestiture Framework Design

Divestiture operating models play a critical role in creating value for companies. For organizations involved in divestiture, eliminating underperforming subsidiaries or divisions poses challenges that buyers and sellers often aren’t fully prepared for. This includes disentangling a commingled business, establishing international legal entity structures, assessing tax implications, reconciling fragmented financial records, and managing system impacts on operations and reporting. RNC helps clients address these challenges and accelerate transactions by developing and leveraging a Divestiture Operating Model Toolkit, enabling efficient and smooth closures.

Mergers & Amalgamations

In today’s interconnected world, companies often turn to acquisitions and consolidations as a rapid growth strategy. At RNC, we proactively identify potential integration challenges and provide solutions that address them effectively. Our experienced professionals are committed to helping clients manage the tax aspects of these transactions and ensure they benefit from a seamless integration process.

Overseas Direct Investment under Corporate Structure

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a key driver of economic growth and is actively promoted by the Indian government. However, companies looking to invest outside India must navigate a well-structured setup to understand the correct investment route, identify prohibited sectors, and manage regulatory limits. RNC offers dynamic support to Indian businesses wishing to invest abroad, ensuring compliance with all required regulations and obtaining necessary approvals.

Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)

Employee Stock Options have become an integral part of compensation packages. However, their offering is often limited in young, emerging companies. RNC ensures that companies offering stock options as part of their compensation strategy do so efficiently and in compliance with regulations. We focus on providing value-driven solutions that help clients achieve their goals while keeping costs manageable.

Incorporation Services

Forming the right legal entity is the cornerstone of a business. Our team helps clients understand the various business structures available and the regulatory obligations attached to them. We provide guidance on setting up private companies, public companies, limited liability partnerships, and Section 8 companies. From pre-incorporation planning, document preparation, and filing of various e-forms with the ROC, to liaising throughout the process until the entity is established, RNC offers comprehensive support to ensure smooth and efficient incorporation.

Post-Incorporation Services

Once a business is incorporated, directors and shareholders must be well-versed in the legal compliance requirements that follow. RNC offers a wide range of post-incorporation services to help businesses maintain their legal standing. This includes guidance on statutory registers, adoption of common seals, appointment of auditors, filing for the commencement of business certificates, and more. We keep our clients updated and compliant to avoid penalties and ensure smooth operations.

We provide comprehensive reports with actionable insights that help clients make informed decisions, particularly in mergers, acquisitions, and other significant corporate transactions.

Compliance Management Services

Our compliance management framework helps organizations identify and address compliance gaps. RNC provides assistance in reviewing existing processes, creating compliance manuals, monitoring adherence, and reporting regularly to the Board of Directors. Our structured approach ensures thorough and continuous compliance management.

Regulatory Approvals & Representation

Navigating the complex landscape of regulatory approvals is essential for businesses operating in India. Whether it’s a change of registered office, name changes, or company conversions, RNC helps clients obtain the necessary approvals and represents them before regulatory bodies like the ROC, Regional Directors, and the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

Winding Up

When companies face challenging economic conditions, tough competition, or resource scarcity, the decision to wind up may become inevitable. RNC assists clients in evaluating the financial profitability of their businesses and determining the viability of closure. We provide end-to-end support in the winding-up process, including identifying the best exit route, assisting with documentation, and obtaining regulatory approvals for business cessation.

Financial Restructuring

In today’s globalized market, financial restructuring is often necessary for companies dealing with cross-border transactions. RNC provides expert advisory services related to inbound and outbound investments, foreign exchange management, capital structure optimization, and legal issues surrounding cross-border capital raising and restructuring.

RNC provides advisory services to help companies establish a robust governance framework that aligns with stakeholders’ interests and adheres to social, regulatory, and market contexts.
