Business Law and Corporate Law

The September 2026 edition of Fox & Mandal's newsletter examines MCA’s FAQs on foreign company registration; proposed amendments to the NBFC credit facilities framework; expansion of OBPP offerings; operationalisation of FDI in inventory-based cross-border e-commerce; Demat 2.0 for tokenisation of corporate bonds; NHAI Policy Circular on real-time blacklisting and non-performance records; and other changes in India's corporate, capital markets, infrastructure, and banking sectors.

Business contracts define commercial relationships, but even carefully negotiated agreements can become sources of disputes over payments, deliverables, termination, or interpretation of terms. Understanding common contractual pitfalls and implementing proper documentation practices can help businesses protect their interests and reduce the risk of costly disagreements.

A growing business needs corporate legal services that bring together compliance management, contract lifecycle support, regulatory audits and ongoing risk advice under one roof, rather than piecing it together from separate lawyers, spreadsheets and last-minute fixes. According to a 2026 LegalZoom survey, 33% of small business owners say compliance requirements have already stopped them pursuing new opportunities such as expansion, partnerships or new product launches.
