Every successful acquisition rests on a detailed understanding of the target’s contractual framework. Contracts determine not only revenue streams but also future liabilities and operational flexibility. Our Contractual Due Diligence focuses on evaluating the legality, enforceability, and commercial impact of the target’s agreements under Indian law.
Our team reviews all key contracts including vendor, distribution, consultancy, franchise, technology, service, employment, and financing arrangements. We pay special attention to clauses on termination, assignment, change of control, indemnities, limitation of liability, exclusivity, and dispute resolution. We ensure each contract complies with the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and the Specific Relief Act, 1963, and that no critical obligation is overlooked.
In India’s complex regulatory environment, many industries such as telecom, defense, and healthcare require third-party or government consent for contract transfer. Our review identifies such obligations early, helping prevent closing delays.
Our team also examines whether any contracts are under dispute or contain financial penalties or contingent liabilities. We assess the target’s performance record to ensure compliance with service standards and delivery timelines.
With extensive experience in negotiating and reviewing high-value commercial agreements, our team provides clients with a clear understanding of contractual exposures and integration challenges. This enables acquirers to negotiate effectively and secure long-term commercial stability after acquisition.
