Corporate Law Is Where Business Decisions and Legal Obligations Meet

Every company — from a newly incorporated private limited to a listed public entity — operates within a dense web of legal obligations under the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI regulations, RBI guidelines, and sector-specific rules. Most of the time, this framework is invisible. It only becomes visible when something goes wrong: a shareholder dispute, a regulatory inquiry, a board deadlock, a failed acquisition, or an oppression complaint before the NCLT.

Adv. Shailendra Singh’s corporate law practice is built on deep familiarity with that framework — both in advising clients how to operate within it and in representing them when disputes arise out of it.

Our Corporate Law Practice Areas

  • Company Formation and Governance — Incorporating companies, drafting Memorandum and Articles of Association, advising on board composition, board procedures, and statutory compliance obligations under the Companies Act.
  • Shareholder Disputes and Minority Protection — Oppression and mismanagement petitions under Sections 241-244 of the Companies Act before the NCLT, shareholder agreements and their enforcement, and disputes over dividend rights, board representation, and share valuation.
  • Mergers, Acquisitions, and Restructuring — Legal due diligence, structuring of acquisitions, share purchase and business transfer agreements, scheme of arrangement filings under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, and post-merger integration support.
  • Director and Officer Liability — Advising directors on their fiduciary duties, liability exposure, and available defences — including in situations involving SFIO investigations, SEBI actions, or proceedings under the Companies Act for disqualification or removal.
  • Regulatory Compliance — Advising on Companies Act compliance, annual return filings, board meeting requirements, related party transactions, and regulatory submissions to the Registrar of Companies (RoC).

NCLT Practice in Corporate Matters

The National Company Law Tribunal handles a wide range of corporate matters beyond insolvency — including winding-up petitions, oppression and mismanagement, scheme approvals, and restoration of struck-off companies. Adv. Shailendra Singh regularly appears before the NCLT Delhi Bench and the NCLAT in these matters.

His dual expertise in corporate and insolvency law means he can navigate the overlapping jurisdictions that frequently arise — for example, where a creditor is simultaneously pursuing insolvency under IBC and a shareholder is filing an oppression petition for the same set of facts.

Have Any Questions?

The Articles of Association govern the internal management of the company and are a public document. A shareholder agreement is a private contract between shareholders that deals with governance, exit rights, and other matters that parties may not want in the public record. Both need to be carefully aligned.

A minority shareholder holding at least 10% of the issued share capital (or 10% of members in a company limited by guarantee) can file an oppression and mismanagement petition under Section 241 of the Companies Act if the affairs of the company are being conducted in a manner prejudicial to their interests.

Yes. An application for restoration can be filed before the NCLT under Section 252 of the Companies Act within 20 years of the strike-off, subject to satisfying the Tribunal that the restoration is just and equitable.
