Important — about the pricing plan ▾
Our page-wise slabs are designed for predictable budgeting. Please note the following before you order:
- The slab is determined by the final page count of the delivered document. If you add pages later, only those additional pages are charged at the applicable rate.
- Express (rush) orders add 25% to the slab price and compress the delivery timeline.
- Post-sign-off addendums are charged at ₹299 per page.
- The final quote may vary for unusual complexity or documents requiring heavy research and negotiation.
- Documents exceeding 50 pages, or containing highly bespoke/unique clauses, are quoted on a custom basis after we review your brief.
- Prices are indicative and exclude applicable taxes (e.g. GST) and any government stamping/registration charges, which are billed at actuals.
- Drafting deliverables do not, by themselves, constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. We confirm scope, page count and timeline before work begins.
How we do it
Each document is lawyer-led, not auto-filled. We capture your context, fix scope and page count, then draft custom, risk-balanced clauses. You get a clean copy plus a redline, negotiation notes and a compliance checklist — and the slab is set by the final page count, so you always know the basis of the price.
Why we price by the page
Page-wise pricing keeps things transparent and fair — you pay only for the pages you actually need, with no bundled padding or hidden fees. It makes budgeting predictable across documents of different complexity, and if you add pages later, only those pages are charged. Post-execution addendums stay a flat ₹299/page.
Every clause. Every comma.
Engineered to protect you.
A bad template costs you the day it breaks. We draft documents that hold up when it matters most — in negotiation, in due diligence, and in court.

Easy Guide to Legal Drafting
Everything you need to understand drafting — from what it is, to clauses that matter, to when you should never DIY.
1. What Is Legal Drafting?
Legal drafting is the art and science of converting business understanding, expectations and rights into clear, enforceable written language. It is the process of:
- Translating facts, intentions and commercial understanding into legal language.
- Structuring a document so rights and obligations are clear.
- Ensuring the document is valid, enforceable and compliant with applicable law.
- Anticipating "what if things go wrong" and building in protective clauses.
2. Why Does Good Drafting Matter?
Prevents misunderstandings & disputes
Most disputes arise from vague terms, missing protections and different interpretations of the same sentence. Clear drafting reduces confusion.
Saves time, money & relationships
A properly drafted contract reduces the chance of going to court, provides clear remedies, and preserves relationships by setting expectations from Day 1.
Protects your position & helps due diligence
Banks, investors, buyers and regulators review your contracts. Well-drafted documents improve credibility and valuation, and make due diligence smoother.
3. Before You Draft — Prepare the Foundation
Drafting never starts with typing. It starts with understanding.
Identify the purpose
Is it to start a relationship, record a transaction, or resolve a dispute? The purpose decides the structure and key clauses.
Identify the parties precisely
Full legal names, registered addresses, registration numbers (CIN, LLPIN, GSTIN) and the relationship between parties.
Understand the commercial terms
- What is being supplied / done / delivered.
- For how much — fees, price, consideration.
- When — timelines, milestones, dates.
- What if — delays, failures, non-performance.
4. Structure of a Well-Drafted Document
Most agreements follow a logical structure:
- Title & Introduction
- Parties and Recitals (Background)
- Definitions & Interpretation
- Scope of Work / Subject Matter
- Commercial Terms (Price & Payment)
- Obligations of Each Party
- Representations & Warranties
- Confidentiality & Data Protection
- Intellectual Property (IP)
- Indemnity & Limitation of Liability
- Term & Termination
- Dispute Resolution & Governing Law
- Miscellaneous / Boilerplate
- Signatures & Annexures
5. Key Clauses — What They Mean
Definitions & Scope
Definitions create a "dictionary" to avoid ambiguity. The scope/deliverables clause is the heart of the agreement — what, by whom, how and when.
Price, Reps & Warranties
State amount, currency, taxes (GST/TDS), due dates and late-payment consequences. Representations are statements of fact that become important if you have to claim breach later.
Confidentiality, IP & Indemnity
With laws like DPDP, data clauses are critical. Clarify IP ownership and licensing. Avoid unlimited, one-sided indemnities and cap liability sensibly.
Term, Termination & Disputes
Define duration, notice periods, for-cause vs without-cause exit, governing law, and whether parties try mediation/ODR before litigation.
6. Language & Style — Draft Clearly
- Use simple, precise language. Short sentences beat long, complex ones. One idea per clause.
- Avoid ambiguity. "Payment within 7 (seven) working days from delivery" beats "payment soon after delivery".
- Be consistent. Use the same defined terms, numbering and headings throughout.
- Use headings. They make the contract readable and easy to navigate in a dispute.
7. Common Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
- Copy-pasting random templates without understanding them.
- Using foreign-law templates for Indian transactions.
- Missing basic details (names, dates, addresses, consideration).
- Leaving undefined or vague terms.
- One-sided terms the other party will never accept.
- Ignoring mandatory laws (labour, consumer, data protection, company law).
- Not aligning the agreement with actual business practice.
8. Step-by-Step Drafting (5-Step Cycle)
Step 1 — Information Collection
Understand the deal, speak to the people involved, review supporting documents.
Step 2 — First Draft
Create the outline, then fill in core commercial terms (scope, fee, timelines).
Step 3 — Risk & Protection Layer
Add confidentiality, IP, indemnity, limitation of liability and dispute resolution; check compliance.
Step 4 — Review & Simplify
Read it as a layperson; remove duplication and clarify ambiguous parts.
Step 5 — Finalisation & Execution
Incorporate comments, prepare the final version, ensure correct signing and stamping.
9. Drafting for Specific Use-Cases
Startups & Businesses
Founders' Agreements, ESOPs, vendor contracts, SaaS terms, privacy policies, term sheets, SHA & SSA.
MSMEs
Service agreements, supplier & distribution contracts, credit/payment terms, retainers.
Individuals
Rent agreements, loan/guarantee documents, settlements, family arrangements, employment contracts.
Property & Real Estate
Sale agreements, lease deeds, leave & licence, builder-buyer agreements with RERA-compliant clauses.
Openings & Legal Notices
We draft standard notice and reply templates which comply with statutory guidelines.
10. When You Should NOT Draft Alone
Avoid "DIY" drafting in situations involving:
- High-value transactions (property, investments, M&A).
- Complex regulatory aspects (FEMA, DPDP, SEBI, RBI, tax-heavy deals).
- Senior-level employment contracts.
- IP/technology-heavy deals (licensing, assignments, SaaS).
- Settlement of serious disputes (family, business, investor exit).
11. Role of Professional Platforms / Experts
A professional legal drafting service typically provides:
- Custom drafting based on your situation, not just templates.
- Risk analysis and red-flagging of problematic clauses.
- Negotiation strategy — what to insist on, what to accept.
- Multi-disciplinary input (law + tax + compliance).
- Fast turnaround with version tracking and summaries.
This saves you from signing blindly, underestimating long-term risk, and missing hidden traps.
12. Final Takeaways
- Treat every document as a tool to protect you, not just a formality.
- Spend time to understand what you're signing.
- Use clear language and structured clauses.
- Ensure compliance with law and alignment with actual business.
- In important matters, invest in professional drafting support.
