Lawyers for company formation:who you actually need.

Many UK founders assume they need a law firm to form an Indian company. In practice, incorporation filings are usually handled by Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries, while lawyers are needed for specific documents: shareholder or joint venture agreements, contracts and regulated sectors. We incorporate, and coordinate with lawyers where needed.
