    Most companies do not need a full legal team. They need one lawyer who knows the whole business.

    Every growing company in India hits the same problem. A vendor contract needs review this week. A key hire needs an employment agreement next week. There is a data-protection question under the new DPDP Act, a trademark to file, a co-founder issue brewing, and an unpaid invoice that needs a demand notice. Each one goes to a different lawyer, none of whom knows your business, and you re-explain yourself every time.

    A corporate lawyer solves that. Instead of a different specialist for every problem, you have one legal partner who understands your company from the inside and handles the full range of what a business actually needs, drafting, negotiation, corporate structuring, intellectual property, employment, compliance, and disputes. As your company grows, your legal needs grow with it, and having one partner who has been there since the start is worth far more than a stack of one-off engagements.

    That is what My Legal Pal is built to be. We act as your outsourced corporate legal function, available across Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and the rest of India, entirely online. You get the coverage of an in-house legal team without the cost of hiring one, on a retainer starting at ₹10,000 a month.

    All of the above on tap, for a fixed monthly fee from ₹10,000, so you have a corporate lawyer whenever you need one without hiring in-house.

    Engage a corporate lawyer on retainer, from ₹10,000 a month.

    Hiring an in-house lawyer in a metro costs lakhs a year in salary alone. Most growing companies do not have that much legal work to justify a full-time hire, but they have too much to keep paying one-off fees and re-briefing a new lawyer each time. A retainer is the answer: you engage us, not employ anyone, and get end-to-end corporate legal support for a predictable monthly fee.

    What a retainer covers

    Ongoing contract drafting and review, employment and HR documents, compliance support, IP filings and management, legal notices, day-to-day legal questions answered quickly, and priority turnaround. Larger matters like an acquisition or a funding round are scoped and quoted on top, at preferential retainer rates.

    How the plans work

    Plans start at ₹10,000 per month for early-stage companies and scale with the volume and complexity of work you need. You get a defined scope, a single point of contact who knows your business, and the flexibility to increase or pause as your needs change. For a closer look at how this compares to hiring, see our guide on fractional general counsel versus a law firm, or our startup legal retainer service.

    You do not need to employ a legal team. You need to engage one, on tap, for the price of a small fixed fee each month.

    A legal partner who stays, not a lawyer you call once.

    Most companies collect lawyers the way they collect SaaS subscriptions, one for trademarks, one for contracts, one for that dispute last year, none of whom talk to each other or remember your business. Every new matter starts from zero.

    We work the opposite way. When you engage us, we learn your company from day one, your structure, your contracts, your risks, your plans. So when the next thing comes up, and in a growing business it always does, you are not explaining your company to a stranger. You are talking to a corporate lawyer who already knows it. That continuity is the difference between legal work that slows you down and legal work that lets you move faster.

    A three-state commercial hub spanning Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida, with a broad mix of enterprises, manufacturing, and services needing everything from employment to disputes.

    Hyderabad

    A fast-growing IT, pharma, and life-sciences centre, where data protection, technology contracts, and regulatory work are increasingly central.

    What clients say

    We were juggling three different lawyers. Moving everything to one retainer meant one team that actually knows our business, and it cost less than what we were paying piecemeal.
    Rohan M.SaaS Founder · Bangalore
    They handled our acquisition due diligence, the share purchase agreement, and the employment transfers together. Having it all in one place made the deal far smoother.
    Sneha K.Director · Mumbai
    From DPDP compliance to a demand notice to our vendor contracts, one point of contact for all of it. The retainer pays for itself.
    Arjun R.Operations Head · Hyderabad
    As a growing company we did not want to hire a full-time lawyer yet. Engaging them on retainer gave us exactly the coverage we needed at a fraction of the cost.

    Frequently asked questions about corporate lawyers in India

    What does a corporate lawyer do?
    A corporate lawyer handles the full range of legal work a company needs: contracts, mergers and acquisitions, corporate structuring and shareholders’ agreements, intellectual property, employment, data protection, regulatory compliance, and commercial disputes. Instead of a different specialist for each, you get one legal partner who knows your whole business.
    How much does a corporate lawyer cost in India?
    It depends on the model. One-off matters are quoted as fixed fees. For ongoing support, our retainer plans start at ₹10,000 per month and scale with the volume and complexity of work, which is a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house lawyer in a metro.
    What is a legal retainer and how does it work?
    A retainer means you engage us for ongoing corporate legal support for a fixed monthly fee, rather than employing a lawyer or paying one-off fees each time. It covers day-to-day contracts, compliance, HR documents, IP, notices, and quick legal questions, with larger matters scoped separately at preferential rates.
    Do you work with companies outside the major metros?
    Yes. We act as a corporate lawyer for companies registered anywhere in India, entirely online. We have particular depth in Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune, but your location does not limit the service.
    Can you handle a specific one-off matter, not just a retainer?
    Absolutely. You can engage us for a single contract, an acquisition, a compliance question, or a legal notice on a fixed-fee basis, with no obligation to take a retainer. Many clients start with one matter and move to a retainer once they see the value of a partner who knows their business.
    Do you handle mergers, acquisitions, and fundraising?
    Yes. We handle due diligence, share and asset purchase agreements, term sheets, shareholders’ agreements, and the employment and IP transfers that go with a deal, on both the buy side and the sell side, as well as fundraising documentation.
    Are you a law firm or a legal service?
    Your work is handled by qualified advocates enrolled with the Bar Council of India, led by our founder Prakhar Rai. We deliver corporate legal services online, which lets us offer the coverage of a firm at a lower, more predictable cost.
    Do you cover data protection and the new DPDP Act?
    Yes. We advise on Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 compliance, including privacy policies, consent frameworks, and data processing agreements, which is increasingly essential for any company handling personal data in India.
