Mergers, Acquisitions and Due Diligence in India
Mergers, acquisitions, and due diligence in India: corporate, commercial, and IP diligence for buyers, sellers, and investors. DuxLegis.
Corporate deals need IP-aware diligence
Mergers, acquisitions, and investment diligence in India should cover corporate records, material contracts, employment, regulatory licences, and intellectual property ownership—especially for technology, pharma, and brand-driven businesses.
DuxLegis supports buyers, sellers, and investors with coordinated corporate and IP due diligence so deal risk is visible before signing.
What diligence typically covers
Share capital and founder history, key customer/supplier contracts, litigation, compliance gaps, patent/trademark portfolios, open-source and contractor IP issues, and post-close remediation plans.
Our IP diligence capability is particularly useful where valuation depends on patents, brands, or proprietary technology.
From diligence to documents
Findings feed into SPA/SSA warranties, indemnities, holdbacks, and conditions precedent. We work with deal counsel or act as Indian counsel alongside foreign firms.
DuxLegis serves clients across India through its offices and representative network in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Indore, Chandigarh, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Ernakulam, Thiruvananthapuram, and Valsad.
Frequently asked questions
Is IP diligence separate from corporate diligence?
It can be scoped separately, but integrating both gives a clearer picture of deal risk and value.
Do you support sell-side diligence?
Yes. Preparing a clean data room and remediating IP/corporate gaps before sale improves process quality.
Can you work with our investment bank or foreign counsel?
Yes. We routinely join multi-advisor deal teams as Indian counsel.
