Services
Twenty-eight desks in one place — core practice areas, sector desks from construction and carbon to logistics and healthcare, and the trending areas clients are asking for right now. If your document isn't named here, ask — if it's a contract, a research question, or a negotiation paper, it usually fits one of these desks. All work is drafting support only, not legal advice in your jurisdiction.
The everyday agreements your business runs on — drafted in full legal form, with a proper definitions article and balanced risk clauses.
Subscription businesses need a matching set of documents that actually agree with each other — terms, privacy, data and service levels.
Project documents where scope, milestones, delay, and payment security decide whether the project makes money. Includes the full solar suite.
Property documents drafted with clear title, payment, possession, and exit language — for developers, landlords, tenants, and buyers.
Transaction documents and the paper trail behind them — structured, consistent, and built to survive due diligence.
When the other side's paper lands on your desk — a clear-eyed review, a usable redline, and the India-law answer behind it.
Paper for buying, selling, and building with AI — who owns the outputs, what data can be used, and where the regulatory duties sit.
The transfer and processing documents behind cross-border business, drafted to the regime that actually applies.
Early-stage paper that investors and founders can both sign. Drafting support only.
Licences and assignments that say exactly what is being granted, to whom, for how long, and what stays yours.
Short documents, real money: deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity, and payment terms in writing before the post goes live.
The terms your marketplace, app, or store actually trades on — written to match how the platform really works.
Sustainability commitments that survive audit — drafted as enforceable contract language, not brochure copy.
Documents for teams that work across borders — clear on status, IP, confidentiality, and how the engagement ends.
Franchise paper that sets out territory, brand standards, fees, and exit clearly — for franchisors building a network and franchisees checking what they are signing.
Channel and partner agreements that are clear on territory, exclusivity, targets, pricing, and what happens when the relationship ends.
The contracts behind getting things made and delivered — specifications, quality, delivery, and remedies when supply fails.
Support on contracts built on the FIDIC forms — particular conditions, amendments, and the consultancy paper around the works.
Project and trading documents for carbon work — who owns the credits, how they are verified, and how the revenue is shared.
Agreements for payment businesses and the partners who distribute them — fees, settlement, liability, and compliance duties in writing.
Documents for health and pharma work where data duties and regulatory wording matter as much as the commercial terms.
The documents an employment relationship runs on, from offer to exit — drafted to the HR framework that applies to your business.
The formal record of company decisions — resolutions and secretarial paper prepared in proper form and kept consistent.
Drafting support for resolving and recording disputes — the letters that open a matter and the agreements that close it.
Contracts for buying, selling, and leasing equipment — specification, delivery, acceptance, warranty, and end-of-term options.
Long-term public-infrastructure documents where risk allocation, performance standards, and handback decide the value of the project.
Agreements for content, talent, and rights — who can use what, where, for how long, and on what payment terms.
Contracts for moving and storing goods — service levels, liability for loss or damage, and storage terms in plain writing.
Not sure which desk fits? Send the document or describe the deal in two lines by email. You'll get a straight answer on scope, a fixed written quote, and a delivery date — before you commit to anything.
Featured service
A fixed-scope review of any contract you're about to sign — or already stuck with. Seven checks, a written report, and a redline where it matters.
Every capitalised term defined, used consistently, and free of circular or missing definitions.
Who owns what you create, licence scope, and whether background IP is properly protected.
What's covered, how long it lasts, permitted disclosures, and return/destruction on exit.
What each side actually promises — and what has been quietly disclaimed.
Who pays when things go wrong, for which claims, and whether the indemnity is one-sided.
The cap amount, what sits outside it, and whether consequential loss is handled sensibly.
How the contract ends, notice periods, exit assistance, and what survives termination.
Monthly drafting retainer
For firms and companies with a steady flow of contracts. A fixed monthly volume of drafting and review, agreed in writing, at a fixed monthly fee — priced against what the same work costs you today.
Tell me your typical monthly volume — number of documents and reviews — and you'll get a fixed written quote for that scope. The retainer covers any contract type across all twenty-eight desks above, not just one category.

No portals, no ticket queues. You email the document or the brief; everything after that is in writing.
Email the draft, the counterparty's paper, or a short description of the deal and what you need.
You get scope, fixed fee, and delivery date in writing. No work starts — and nothing is charged — before you confirm.
Full-form drafting: definitions article, recitals, balanced risk clauses, and clean formatting you can send on.
Reviews come back as a redline with margin comments explaining each material change and the risk behind it.
For matters governed by non-Indian law, the draft is support for your local counsel's final review.
Based in India and set up for overseas clients: evenings IST overlap Americas mornings, UK & Ireland afternoons, and Asia-Pacific work is turned around overnight.
About
I'm Mohit Ahlawat, an India-qualified Advocate with an LL.M. in Corporate Law and 4+ years of experience — built from my graduation years onward in law-firm practice. Across EPC, infrastructure and commercial work, I have handled 100+ contracts drafted, reviewed, and negotiated end to end, with a total contract value of about $400 million (approx. ₹3,800 crore).
That background is why the practice is deliberately broad: a company signing a SaaS deal on Monday, a solar PPA on Wednesday, and a joint venture term sheet on Friday needs one drafter who is comfortable in all three rooms — and who will say plainly where local counsel should have the final word.
Every document follows a formal drafting standard: a comprehensive definitions article, proper recitals, full risk language — indemnity, liability caps with sensible carve-outs, termination and exit mechanics — and nothing left as a silent gap for the other side to fill later.
Ahlawat LexDraft India is my own platform for providing all these legal drafting and review services.
