What’s the first step to working with SLH?

Reach out via our contact form or email or directly on our numbers. We’ll schedule a call to understand your needs and suggest the right way forward, no obligation.

We work with both. Whether you’re a first-time founder or a seasoned enterprise, we tailor our legal strategy to your stage, sector, and goals.

Can SLH issue legal opinions for transactions or regulatory filings?

Yes. We regularly issue legal opinions for disputes, on enforceability of contracts, validity of corporate actions, ownership of IP, compliance with Indian laws, investment deals, IP ownership, and other regulatory matters.

Do legal opinions need to be on letterhead, or can they be emailed?

We can issue legal opinions on official letterhead (digitally signed or hard copy) or via email, depending on the recipient’s requirements. For formal submissions, a signed letterhead version is typically preferred.

Are legal opinions binding?

Legal opinions are not binding like court orders, but they carry professional weight and are relied upon by investors, regulators, and counterparties.

How are your fees structured?

We offer flexible models, hourly, fixed-fee, or retainers depending on the nature and scope of work. Transparency is key, and we’ll always align costs before we begin.

Yes. We handle end-to-end registration for trademarks, copyrights, and patents, guiding you through searches, filings, responses, and enforcement.

What if someone is using my brand name or copying my content?
