VENTURE CAPITAL & PRIVATE EQUITY
JuristechLegal & Partners advises venture capital funds, private equity investors, growth-stage companies, founders, and promoters on complex investment transactions and ownership structuring in India.
Based in Mumbai, the firm regularly supports domestic and international investors across the full lifecycle of venture capital and private equity investments — from initial fundraising and deal structuring to ongoing investor rights, governance, and exit planning.
Our practice is focused on transactions where capital deployment, control rights, regulatory alignment, and long-term value protection are critical.
