Commercial Contracts
Commercial contracts are the operating system of business relationships. They determine how risk is allocated, how obligations are enforced, and when done well how commercial velocity is maintained.
We draft, negotiate, and advise on the full spectrum of commercial agreements that technology companies encounter, from early-stage vendor agreements through complex enterprise deals and strategic partnerships. Our technology fluency means we understand the operational realities behind contractual terms: SLAs, data handling obligations, integration responsibilities, and the practical consequences of breach. Contracts should protect your position while enabling the deal to close, not the other way around.
What We Do
- Master services agreements (MSAs) and statements of work (SOWs)
- Technology procurement and vendor agreements
- Channel partner, reseller, and distribution agreements
- Joint venture and strategic partnership structuring
- Service level agreements (SLAs) and performance frameworks
- Non-disclosure, non-compete, and confidentiality agreements
- Contract lifecycle management advisory
- Contract dispute analysis and resolution strategy
Regulatory Context
Commercial contracting for technology companies in India is governed by the Indian Contract Act 1872, the Sale of Goods Act 1930, the Information Technology Act 2000, and the Consumer Protection Act 2019. The Specific Relief Act 1963 and the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 provide the enforcement and dispute resolution framework. Indian contract law is flexible but has specific requirements around enforceability, consideration, and remedies that differ from common law jurisdictions. We help clients structure agreements that are commercially pragmatic and legally enforceable in this framework.
Who This Is For
Technology companies at any stage entering into commercial agreements. Enterprise buyers negotiating technology procurement. Platform companies structuring marketplace or vendor agreements. Companies entering joint ventures or strategic partnerships. Businesses reviewing and rationalising existing contract portfolios. If contracts are a regular part of your operations and for technology companies, they always are. This practice covers it.
