Due Diligence

CEERA assists in a detailed investigation or audit of a potential transaction or product to confirm the facts and circumstances, highlighting potential risks and safeguards to be ensured while effecting the same. The Scope of Due Diligence includes the review of Contractual arrangements of an entity, its financial records, employee data and level of compliance.

Time is valued in terms of money. Every minute spent in a transaction without due diligence is every minute wasted. The team from CEERA comprising of Advocates, Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries conduct the due-diligence in such manner that not just every minute of our client, rather, every rupee is not just saved, rather, earned.

General Commercial Transactions

Every Activity in the nature of a commercial transaction is to be engaged in a manner that maintains the interest, integrity, and obligations of the parties, thereof. The brunt of non-documentation of a commercial transaction is realized only at the time of a dispute, that only leaves the party and the transaction in disdain.

The legal and accounting minds of CEERA protects its clients from heaps of hassle, by drafting and vetting of their contractual documents including the transfer of property, thereby protecting their business as well as personal interests.

Board Room Strategy & Corporate Governance

Corporate Strategies and Succession are essential for effective management of the Company. The Roles and Responsibilities of Parties need to be clearly defined, for the success of every business. Stories of the Corporate World Good, Bad, and Ugly, are all an outcome of the Strategy that they chose to implement. Board Room Strategies are necessary to prevent and manage a hostile or stale venture.

CEERA supports its clients to deploy the best Board-room practices and tactics towards enhancing Corporate Governance, thereby protecting their investments and securing their control, in the best available means.

Corporate Representation & Dispute Resolution

Invested in a company in India, but unable to keep track of the same?? An interest or dispute that needs redressal?

Team-members from CEERA represent their clients in the meetings of the company as their Authorised Representative as a Nominee Director or Standing counsels, thereby voicing the opinions of their clients stricto sensu at various forae

Intellectual Property Protection & Management

In a world of technocrats, technical superiority is appreciated and rewarded. Technical Superiority lies in the innovative means and methods that are implemented by the business in its products or manner of service, thereby giving it a greater outreach and recognition.

CEERA enables its clients to understand the best practices towards the protection and management of their intellectual property by providing registration services, follow-up services and having a strict-documentation policy to prevent the breach of any confidential data of the clients.

Private Equity Investment & Venture Capital Funding

Investments are the key to the success story of every business, and the protection of Investment Funds, and ensuring safeguards for the vision of the Founders of the business would remain oblivion unless documented.

The team from CEERA comprising of Advocates, Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries protect their clients’ money and their rights by a comprehensive contractual process involving the drafting and vetting of Transaction Documents including Non-Disclosure Agreements, Due- Diligence Reports, Share Subscription and Share Holders Agreements.

Company Secretarial Compliances

Companies Act, 2013, along with the Make in India Initiative act as a spur for transparency and accountability in corporate governance. The team from CEERA ensures that secretarial compliances do not derail, an otherwise successful business venture.

Pro-Bono Public Spirited Actions

Our vision is not just to assist the justice delivery system, but also to ensure that justice is not denied to the needy, who on grounds of Income Status, are left unheard. We devote a small, yet significant portion of our practice to engage in pro-bono litigation, thereby upholding the cause of nobility in the Legal Profession, that has been passed on and inculcated in us by different luminaries.
