Corporate, Transactions & Governance
Corporate mandates rarely end with the transaction itself. They engage ownership, governance, capital, regulation and the allocation of risk across the life of the business. Clavius advises companies, investors, founders, funds and family enterprises on transactions, investments, corporate structuring and governance matters in India and across borders.
Our work spans M&A, private equity and venture capital, investment funds, joint ventures, foreign investment, commercial arrangements and board-level governance. We combine transactional execution with an understanding of the regulatory, employment, competition and dispute risks that can shape a deal or corporate relationship before and after closing.
