For Overseas Firms & Businesses

India-Facing Legal Support for International Firms

Paralegal, research, and back-office support for overseas law firms, in-house counsel, and businesses that need a reliable India-based extension of their team.

Who This Is For

A Dedicated Point of Contact in India

If your firm or business regularly encounters Indian law questions, needs documents reviewed under Indian contract terms, or requires on-the-ground coordination with Indian courts, regulators, or counsel, Strive Lex can function as your India desk — a single, responsive point of contact who understands both the local legal landscape and the standards international teams expect.

This is separate from our core Indian litigation and advisory practice. It is structured specifically for foreign law firms and businesses that want dependable support without the overhead of hiring or supervising an in-house India team. Our attorneys appear before the Delhi High Court, District Courts, NCLT, and DRT, with advisory work extending to clients across India.

Common Scenarios

Situations We're Regularly Engaged For

1

Your Client Has an NRI Property Matter

A client with property, inheritance, or a family dispute in India needs on-the-ground coordination — document verification, court appearances through counsel, or liaison with local family members.

2

Your Client's Counterparty Is Based in India

A commercial deal, licensing arrangement, or vendor relationship involves an Indian party, and you need the contract reviewed against Indian law before your client signs.

3

You're Enforcing a Foreign Judgment or Award in India

Your client has a judgment or arbitral award from another jurisdiction and needs it recognised and enforced against assets or a party in India.

4

Your Client Is Facing an Insolvency Matter in India

A counterparty or subsidiary is in financial distress and your client needs to understand or participate in an NCLT insolvency proceeding.

5

You Need Ongoing India Regulatory Visibility

Your client has Indian operations, a subsidiary, or regular India-facing transactions and needs standing compliance and filing visibility, not a one-off answer.

6

You Need Document Review or Diligence Support at Volume

A transaction or dispute requires India-side document review, data room organisation, or research at a scale beyond what a single email exchange can resolve.

Why Strive Lex

Built for Cross-Border Collaboration

Clear, timely updates in English, structured around your deadlines and time zone.

C

Scalable Engagement

Work with us on a single matter, an ongoing retainer, or as your standing India point of contact — structured around what you actually need.

Working With Us

Credentials & Confidentiality

Enrolled Advocate

Every matter is overseen by an advocate enrolled with the Bar Council, appearing regularly before the Delhi High Court, District Courts, NCLT, and DRT.

Confidential by Default

We are glad to work under your firm's own confidentiality or engagement terms, or sign a separate NDA before any documents are shared, as your matter requires.

A Named Point of Contact

You work directly with the advocate handling your matter throughout the engagement — not a rotating queue of case handlers.

How Engagements Are Structured

Three Ways to Work With Us

I

Single-Matter Engagement

A defined scope and deliverable — a research memorandum, a contract review, coordination on a specific filing — scoped and quoted before work begins. The lowest-commitment way to start working together.

II

Standing India Desk (Retainer)

A monthly retainer for ongoing availability and a defined response-time commitment, for firms or businesses with recurring India-touching matters who want a dependable point of contact on call.

III

Document Review & Diligence Projects

Priced per deliverable or document volume rather than an hourly advisory rate — suited to due diligence, discovery support, and research work at scale.

Bar Council rules limit how we can advertise specific fees. Tell us the shape of your matter and we'll come back with a scoped quote promptly.

Frequently Asked

Questions Overseas Firms Ask Us

Can Strive Lex work with clients or law firms outside India?

Yes. Strive Lex regularly supports overseas law firms, in-house legal teams, and businesses in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, and elsewhere on India-facing matters, functioning as a dedicated India desk rather than a one-off local counsel referral.

Will our documents and client information stay confidential?

Yes. We are glad to work under your firm's own confidentiality or engagement terms, or sign a separate NDA before any documents are shared, as your matter requires.

Do we need to already have a matter open in India to reach out?

No. Many firms first get in touch before a matter is confirmed, simply to understand whether India involvement is needed and what it would look like. There is no cost or commitment to an initial conversation.

How is a Strive Lex engagement priced?

Bar Council of India rules limit how legal fees can be advertised, so we do not publish fixed rates. Engagements are structured as a single scoped matter, a standing monthly retainer, or per-deliverable pricing for document review and diligence work at volume — tell us the shape of your matter and we will come back with a scoped quote.

Who actually handles our matter?

An advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of India, appearing before the Delhi High Court, District Courts, NCLT, and DRT — not a rotating queue of junior staff. You work directly with the person handling your matter throughout.
