Globalization and technology have completely revamped the
way business is conducted and monitored. Laws and regulations
are also continuously changing to stay abreast with the evolving

what is, what is not and what it ought to be.
It is this vacuum that the Team at Steadfast fills in by adopting
the approach of ‘blending knowledge with experiential insights’.
We bring together a vast and diverse experience of handling
M&As across its landscape from incubation, initiation, to

regulations like SEBI, FEMA, Companies Act, Stamp Duty etc.,

REGULATORY SERVICES
 Over the last several years, the Regulatory environment in India has become severely complex.
 On one hand the Government is looking at the ease of doing business in India to attract foreign capital, on the other,
market dynamics and business environment are often forcing regulators and law makers to adopt tough positions in the

their management teams, that acts as an inherent motivation to pro-actively ensure compliances.

 Businesses in India are constantly looking to grow. Even regulatory changes such as introduction of the new Companies Act, adoption of new accounting
standards in India (Ind-AS), changes in the SEBI Takeover code and other regulations, Competition law and introduction of ‘GAAR’ require business houses to
evaluate alternate corporate restructuring tools to achieve compliance with these changing regulations along with desired business goals.
 With our demonstrated experience in this space, We assist in identifying alternate corporate restructuring options that may be available, critically evaluate the
same from each stakeholders perspective (shareholders, promoters, employees, vendors, business partners etc.), identify potential tax costs associated with
it, suggest suitable options for cash and tax rationalisation, evaluate regulatory hurdles if any, and help appropriate decision making.
 Given our end to end approach, we assist our clients in complete implementation of the restructuring plan by

Company Law Tribunal),
