Capital Markets
The Capital Markets practice at HSVR Law Offices advises issuers, investment banks, funds, private equity sponsors, and large corporates on the entire range of equity and debt capital markets transactions in India. We combine strong technical expertise with commercial insight to deliver transactions that are efficient, compliant, and aligned with long‑term business goals.
Our lawyers act as counsel on domestic and cross‑border offerings including initial public offerings (IPOs), follow‑on public offers, rights issues, qualified institutional placements (QIPs), offers for sale (OFS), institutional placements, and various forms of private placements. On the debt side, we advise on listed and unlisted debentures, commercial paper, high‑yield instruments, structured products, rupee‑denominated bonds, and other capital‑raising structures tailored to market conditions.
We support clients through the entire life‑cycle of a capital markets transaction. This includes deal structuring, legal due diligence, drafting and reviewing offer documents (such as draft red herring prospectuses, letters of offer, and information memoranda), negotiating underwriting and placement agreements, and coordinating with merchant bankers, auditors, registrars, and other intermediaries. Our team closely engages with stock exchanges, SEBI, depositories, and other regulators to obtain requisite approvals and clearances.
Regulatory compliance and governance form a core part of our offering. We regularly advise listed entities, intermediaries, and significant shareholders on continuous disclosure obligations, insider trading restrictions, minimum public shareholding, related‑party transactions, board and committee practices, and event‑based filings. We also assist in matters relating to takeovers, delisting, buy‑back of securities, block and bulk trades, and open offers under the SEBI Takeover Regulations.
In contentious and regulatory situations, our Capital Markets team works closely with our disputes and white‑collar specialists. We represent clients in SEBI investigations, adjudication proceedings, SAT appeals, and stock‑exchange disciplinary actions. We help clients respond to show‑cause notices, conduct internal reviews, and put in place remedial compliance measures that demonstrate robust governance to regulators and investors.
A significant part of our work is cross‑border in nature. We assist in offerings involving foreign listings, foreign currency convertible bonds, depositary receipt programmes, and fund‑raising by Indian companies from overseas investors, coordinating with international counsel as needed. Our understanding of both Indian regulatory requirements and global market expectations allows us to bridge gaps and ensure smooth transaction execution.
Whether acting for issuers or for lead managers and institutional investors, HSVR Law Offices focuses on clarity of documentation, transaction certainty, and regulatory comfort. Our team is positioned to support growth‑stage companies, mature listed entities, and financial sponsors equally, helping them tap capital markets in a manner that is efficient, compliant, and reputationally sound.
