Hire a Contract Lawyer in India · Online, Pan-India
Hire a contract lawyer for drafting, review, or negotiation. Bar Council-enrolled advocates work with startups, businesses, and enterprises in every Indian city, fully online. Fixed fees from ₹3,499, and standard contracts are ready in 24 to 48 hours.
Need a contract drafted under Indian law, an agreement reviewed before you sign, or a negotiation handled? Share the details and a contract lawyer from our team will reply with a clear fixed quote and timeline. No obligation.
A contract decides who gets paid, who is liable, who owns what, and what happens when something goes wrong. My Legal Pal gives startups, SMEs, and enterprises across India a team of contract lawyers to draft, review, and negotiate their agreements. Every contract is handled by an advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of India, and each one is written for the facts of your deal.
You do not need to be in the same city as your lawyer. The work is done online, so a founder in Pune, a manufacturer in Ludhiana, and an agency in Kochi hire us the same way: share the details, get a fixed quote, and receive the contract in days. This page is for hiring a lawyer for drafting, review or negotiation. If you only want to understand the law first, start with our guide to commercial contracts in India.
Four steps, all online, from any Indian city. No meetings needed.
Tell us what you need, or send the agreement you were given, from any city in India. It takes a few minutes, by form or WhatsApp.
A contract lawyer reads your request and replies within 2 hours with a fixed fee and a timeline.
Your contract is drafted, reviewed, or negotiated by a Bar Council-enrolled advocate, with a plain-language note on the key risks.
You get revisions until the contract reflects the deal. We also advise on stamp duty and execution for your state.
A template is written for no one in particular. An AI draft can read well and still be wrong for India: a liability cap that does not cap what you think, an indemnity that runs the wrong way, a dispute clause that names the wrong court or arbitration seat, or too little stamp duty, which keeps the document out of evidence in an Indian court until the duty and penalty are paid. A contract lawyer finds the risks you did not discuss, decides who should carry each one, and writes clauses that put the risk in the right place.
A contract written for Indian law and your state’s stamp rules costs less than the problem it prevents. If you are still deciding whether you need one, read how to hire a contract lawyer and what a contract lawyer does.
Every contract we draft meets the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and avoids clauses Indian courts treat as void, such as most post-employment non-competes under Section 27. We also plan for the practical side: the right stamp duty for your state, which is why we answer the common question of whether a contract is valid without stamp paper, and dispute clauses that can be enforced when you need them. For the full legal framework, see commercial contracts in India.
Each sector has its own contract risks under Indian law and regulation. We draft for them.
Founders agreements, SAFEs, ESOPs, and the shareholder papers a raise needs. See our startup lawyers in India.
Subscription terms, MSAs, SLAs, and data terms, with caps on liability and clear data ownership. See lawyers for SaaS companies.
Partner, lending, and payments agreements that sit alongside RBI and SEBI rules. See fintech lawyers in India.
Seller, vendor, and platform agreements and consumer terms. See e-commerce lawyers in India.
Statements of work, MSAs, and consultant contracts with a clear scope, payment terms, and IP clauses.

Service agreements that fix scope, payment, and IP ownership.
If the other side in India has not paid, has delayed, or has broken the agreement, the first step is usually a legal notice under Indian law. We handle a legal notice for breach of contract, a legal notice for non-payment of dues and a wrongful termination or unpaid salary notice, and our business dispute mediation and negotiation service covers settlement outside Indian courts. Most disputes trace back to a clause that was missing, vague, or copied from a template, so a good contract is the cheapest fix.

Longer or higher-value agreements, such as investment documents or multi-party deals, are quoted after a free assessment. That fee covers revisions and your questions, so you can ask freely.
