Global Capability Centers
A global board wants India scale on a quarterly timeline. Local realities do not move that fast, unless your counsel does.
We act as the embedded legal team for GCCs from pre-launch to 1,000+ seat scale. Entity, employment, data flows, IP assignment, vendor paper and the regulators behind each, one partner, one programme, one timeline.
GCCs are not a side practice for us. They are the operating model we were built for. Hyderabad is one of the world's densest GCC corridors, and the work that arrives at our desk reflects it. We sit between the global GC and the local build, running every workstream as one programme, the difference between a GCC that scales on plan and one that re-papers itself eighteen months in.

Frequently Asked
At what stage should a GCC engage legal counsel?
Ideally before the entity decision is made. The structuring choices at pre-launch, entity type, parent-subsidiary framework, IP ownership, data flow architecture, compound for a decade. Engaging counsel after incorporation means re-papering decisions that should have been made correctly the first time.
