--- title: "M&A and PE/VC" date: 2026-06-10 author: "Anandita Ganguly" url: https://acuitylaw.co.in/practice-areas/mergers-acquisitions-private-investment/ --- # M&A and PE/VC ![](https://acuitylaw.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/1.jpg) ### OVERVIEW Mergers, acquisitions, and private investment are the primary instruments through which businesses grow, enter new markets, deploy capital, and reshape themselves. They are also among the most legally demanding transactions a business will undertake, requiring the simultaneous management of corporate, regulatory, tax, employment, and competition obligations across a compressed and often public timeline. Acuity Law’s M&A and PE/VC practice is the firm’s core transactional practice. The team advises acquirers, sellers, financial investors, founders, portfolio companies, and management across the full range of transaction types: share and asset acquisitions, mergers and demergers by court-sanctioned scheme, joint ventures, cross-border investments in both directions, and secondary transactions in the private markets. Clients include Indian and multinational corporations, private equity and venture capital funds, family offices, founders at every stage, and government-owned enterprises. Private equity and venture capital investment in India has grown substantially over the past decade, and the legal requirements of investors and founders have grown with it. The practice advises across all stages of the investment lifecycle. For fund managers and sponsors, that means fund formation, AIF registration, and fund governance. For investors deploying capital, it means term sheet negotiation, investment documentation for equity, convertible instruments, and structured securities, and the governance architecture that protects the investment during the holding period. For founders and portfolio companies, it means navigating investor rights, ESOP design, compliance with FEMA and SEBI regulations, and preparation for exit. The firm’s experience spans financial services, technology, food and beverages, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, manufacturing, and infrastructure, and gives the team a practical understanding of the sector-specific dynamics that shape deal terms and investor expectations. Every significant M&A or private investment transaction sits at the intersection of multiple legal regimes. An acquisition involving a foreign buyer requires FEMA structuring, FDI policy compliance, and tax analysis alongside the core transaction documents. A private equity investment raises questions about instrument classification, FEMA pricing compliance, and SEBI implications where the target is listed or pre-IPO. A merger by court-sanctioned scheme involves the NCLT process, the tax treatment of the arrangement, competition clearance, and employment obligations for the transferred workforce. Acuity Law addresses all of these within a single engagement, drawing on the firm’s tax, FEMA, employment, insolvency, competition, and regulatory practices as a transaction requires. The practice has been recognised by the Indian Business Law Journal as Winner in Mergers and Acquisitions (2025) and Winner in Foreign Direct Investment (2023), by IFLR1000 as Other Notable in both M&A and Private Equity across multiple consecutive ranking cycles, by Legal 500 as Tier 2 in Commercial, Corporate and M&A (2024), and by Venture Intelligence as the top-ranked legal advisor by deal count in the food and beverages sector for M&A in 2023. #### RECOGNITION The practice has been recognised consistently across independent legal and industry rankings: **IBLJ 2025: Winner** **Mergers and Acquisitions** Indian Business Law Journal recognised Acuity Law as Winner in Mergers and Acquisitions at the 2025 India Law Firm Awards. **IBLJ 2023: Winner** **Foreign Direct Investment** Indian Business Law Journal recognised Acuity Law as Winner in Foreign Direct Investment at the 2023 India Law Firm Awards. **IIFLR1000: Other Notable (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023)** **M&A and Private Equity** IFLR1000 has recognised the firm as Other Notable in both Mergers and Acquisitions and Private Equity in its India Rankings across four consecutive years. **Venture Intelligence 2023: Ranked No. 1** **Top Legal Advisor: Food and Beverages M&A** Venture Intelligence ranked Acuity Law as the top legal advisor by deal count in the food and beverages sector for M&A transactions in 2023.     **Legal 500 India Rankings 2024: Tier 2 (Mumbai)****Commercial, Corporate and M&A** Legal 500 ranked the firm Tier 2 in Commercial, Corporate and M&A in its Mumbai rankings for 2024, and Tier 6 nationally in Private Equity and Investment Funds.

We advise in both directions: - India entry structures for foreign investors: wholly owned subsidiaries, joint ventures, branch offices, liaison offices, and project offices, with analysis of the regulatory and tax implications of each. - FDI policy advisory across regulated and restricted sectors, including financial services, insurance, defence, space, pharmaceuticals, media, e-commerce, and real estate. - FEMA structuring for inbound investment: pricing methodology compliance, instrument structuring (equity vs. compulsorily convertible vs. optionally convertible), reporting timelines, and downstream investment implications for multi-tier structures. - Outbound investment by Indian companies and individuals under the Overseas Investment framework, including Overseas Direct Investment (ODI), Overseas Portfolio Investment (OPI), guarantees, and financial commitments in favour of foreign entities. - Cross-border M&A: advising on Indian-law aspects of transactions in which the Indian entity is a target, acquirer, or a party to a cross-border merger or share swap. - Japan-India transactions: the firm’s Japan Desk supports Japanese corporations and investors across all stages of their India M&A and investment activity, from initial entry structuring and joint venture documentation through transaction execution and post-investment governance. The desk provides advice that bridges legal, procedural, and commercial considerations across both systems. #### Distressed M&A and Special Situations Distressed transactions require a different set of analytical tools alongside standard M&A capability. We advise acquirers, lenders, and investors in special situations: - Acquisitions of distressed businesses and assets, including purchases from corporate debtors undergoing CIRP, direct acquisitions of stressed assets from lenders, and acquisitions structured around SARFAESI enforcement. - Structuring and submitting resolution plans as a resolution applicant under the IBC, including Section 29A eligibility analysis, plan structuring, and regulatory approval strategy for the implementation of the plan. - Advising lenders and investors on distressed debt acquisition, the rights acquired in a subsequent insolvency process, and post-acquisition recovery options including enforcement and conversion. - Demergers and business separations by court-sanctioned scheme, including the NCLT process, tax treatment of the demerger, and employment obligations for employees transferring with the demerged undertaking. - Buy-back of securities and capital reduction transactions under the Companies Act, 2013, including the regulatory and tax structuring of each approach. #### **Competition Clearances and Regulatory Approvals** Regulatory clearances are deal-critical in most significant transactions. We manage the regulatory interface from structuring through to closing: - Pre-merger notification filings with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), including jurisdictional threshold analysis under both the asset/turnover thresholds and the deal value threshold introduced in 2023. - Advising on competition risk in M&A transactions, including market concentration analysis, vertical integration concerns, and the structuring of transactions to address potential competition issues. - Liaison with the CCI during the review process, including preparation of responses to information requests and representation in Phase II investigations. - Takeover Code compliance for acquisitions involving listed companies: computation of creeping acquisition limits, open offer structuring and timing, public announcement obligations, and exemption applications before SEBI. - Sector-specific regulatory approvals: SEBI (transactions involving listed entities, market intermediaries, and AIFs), RBI (acquisitions involving banks, NBFCs, payment system operators, and housing finance companies), IRDAI (insurance), and TRAI (telecoms and broadcasting). - FEMA approval and reporting management for transactions involving foreign acquirers or targets, including FIPB-successor approvals where sectoral caps require government approval. #### Fund Formation and AIF Advisory We advise fund managers, sponsors, and institutional investors on the formation, registration, and operation of investment funds in India: - Advising on fund structure and the choice between onshore AIF vehicles and offshore fund structures in standard PE/VC jurisdictions, including the GIFT City international financial services centre framework. - AIF formation under the SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012: structuring Category I, II, and III AIFs, advising on manager eligibility, and managing the SEBI registration process. - Drafting and reviewing private placement memoranda (PPMs), contribution agreements, investment management agreements, and fund governance documentation. - Advising on co-investment vehicles, side pockets, parallel fund structures, and offshore feeder fund arrangements. - Ongoing AIF compliance: advising on SEBI reporting obligations, investment committee governance, valuation policy, and portfolio company investment compliance. - Offshore-onshore fund structures: advising on Mauritius and Singapore fund vehicles, GIFT City structures, and the regulatory interaction between offshore fund formation and Indian investment regulations under FEMA. - Advising on green bonds, infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs) as alternative capital-raising and investment structures. ### Key Professionals ![](https://acuitylaw.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SG-1-scaled-e1775734628647.png) ### Souvik Ganguly Managing Partner [View Profile](https://acuitylaw.co.in/people/souvik-ganguly/) ![](https://acuitylaw.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Haseena-1-scaled-e1775734429183.png) ### Haseena Tapia Shahpurwalla Partner [View Profile](https://acuitylaw.co.in/people/haseena-tapia-shahpurwalla/) ##### Shareholder’s Rights The rights, duties and obligations of shareholders of an Indian company is governed by the provisions of (Indian) Companies Act, 2013 and rules framed under it (Companies Act), the articles of association of the company and shareholders’ agreement.
