Where finance meets law. We structure, document, and de-risk transactions from both sides of the table, combining ALV's financial advisory with LawCrust's legal expertise in a single, integrated mandate.
Most transactions fail not because the deal was wrong, but because the legal and financial workstreams were disconnected, each party working from different assumptions, at different speeds, with different priorities.
Asset Light Ventures solves this structurally. Because ALV and LawCrust operate within the same group, your transaction gets a single, integrated team covering financial structuring, due diligence, deal documentation, regulatory compliance, and post-transaction governance, without the coordination overhead that typically inflates timelines and costs.
We handle M&A, private placements, joint ventures, restructurings, and cross-border inbound transactions, with particular expertise in FEMA-regulated and SEBI-compliant structures for NRI and GCC investors entering India.
Due Diligence Coverage
Four phases, two disciplines, one integrated team.
We determine the optimal transaction structure, share purchase, asset purchase, JV, slump sale, balancing tax efficiency, regulatory compliance, and deal certainty.
Financial and legal DD run simultaneously under one mandate, sharing findings, resolving issues, and producing a consolidated risk matrix for the deal team.
Term sheets, SHA, SPA, LOI, escrow instructions, disclosure schedules, all drafted, negotiated, and executed by the LawCrust team within the same group.
SEBI, RBI, FEMA, and ROC filings managed in full, including post-closing compliance obligations and any conditions precedent to completion.
Integrated financial and legal advisory dramatically reduces the risk of deals collapsing in the final stages, the most expensive point in the transaction lifecycle to lose a deal.
Our dual due diligence process surfaces financial and legal risk simultaneously, so you're not discovering a ₹5 Cr litigation exposure three months after closing.
Running financial and legal workstreams in parallel, within the same mandate, compresses deal timelines by weeks, without cutting due diligence corners that create post-close surprises.
FEMA, RBI pricing guidelines, ODI/FDI structures, and GCC investor requirements are embedded into our process, not retrofitted at the last minute by an external regulatory specialist.
A single integrated mandate costs less than separate financial advisor + law firm retainers, and produces fewer coordination errors, redundant work, and billing disputes between advisors.
The same team that structured your deal remains available for post-close integration, regulatory filings, and any disputes that arise, maintaining continuity and institutional knowledge of the transaction.
Companies buying or selling businesses in the Indian mid-market, ₹20 Cr to ₹500 Cr in enterprise value, who need both financial advisory and legal execution under one mandate.
GCC and NRI investors acquiring Indian businesses or taking strategic stakes, requiring FEMA-compliant deal structures and RBI pricing guideline compliance alongside commercial negotiation.
Indian and international companies entering joint ventures, who need the SHA, governance documents, and financial terms structured in a way that prevents partnership disputes down the road.
Share the broad strokes of your deal, we'll tell you how we can help and what an integrated mandate would look like for your situation.
