Restructuring, M&A & Certifications

Restructuring, mergers and the certifications that hold up when the deal closes.

When companies combine, split, acquire or reorganise, the corporate-secretarial work — and the certified filings behind it — has to be watertight. With a practice built around M&A, this is where a decade of that work comes together.

SERVICE 01

Corporate restructuring

Reshaping capital and structure so the company fits its next stage.

  • Capital restructuring — rights, bonus, buy-back and reduction of capital.
  • Internal reorganisation and group-structure simplification.
  • Entity conversion (LLP ↔ company, OPC to private, and similar).
Focus: Capital & structure
SERVICE 02

Mergers & amalgamations

End-to-end secretarial support for a scheme of arrangement, working with counsel.

  • Drafting and support on the scheme of arrangement.
  • NCLT process support — applications, meetings, and orders.
  • Statutory approvals, creditor/member meetings and filings.
  • Fast-track mergers under Section 233 where eligible.
Route: NCLT / fast-track (S.233)
SERVICE 03

Acquisitions & share transfers

The mechanics of a change of ownership, done cleanly.

  • Share purchase and transfer documentation and execution.
  • Board and shareholder approvals, and the resulting filings.
  • Cross-border acquisitions — coordinated with the FEMA/RBI reporting (FC-TRS and more).
Covers: Buy-side & sell-side
SERVICE 04

Due diligence

Knowing exactly what you're buying — or getting your own house in order before you sell.

  • Legal and secretarial due diligence of the target.
  • Red-flag and gap reports with clear remediation steps.
  • Data-room preparation and management (buy-side and sell-side).
  • Pre-transaction compliance clean-up.
For: Investors, acquirers & sellers
SERVICE 05

Certification & pre-certification of forms

Many MCA filings and certificates must be certified by a practising Company Secretary. That certification is a core part of this practice.

  • Pre-certification of MCA e-forms (such as annual and event-based filings).
  • MGT-8 — annual return certification for prescribed companies.
  • Compliance and secretarial certificates required for transactions and filings.
  • Certified true copies and resolutions for banks, investors and authorities.
By: Practising Company Secretary
SERVICE 06

Post-deal compliance & integration

The filings and updates that make a completed deal fully effective on record.

  • Updating registers, records and the MCA position post-completion.
  • Post-merger/acquisition compliance and integration filings.
