Practice areas · India-first

Built for the way
Indian practice actually runs.

A litigator's day looks nothing like a tax counsel's, and neither looks like an in-house team running four hundred vendor contracts a month. Gotham ships practice-specificagents, connectors and templates for the work Indian firms and teams actually do — not a generic chat box with a logo on it.

Litigation.

Pleadings to bench-ready briefs, in the court's own format.

What Gotham does
  • Draft pleadings, written submissions and rejoinders in Supreme Court, High Court and ITAT formats — including index of authorities and vakalatnama.
  • Pull the citation graph for every cited authority, surface adverse precedent before opposing counsel does, and flag bench preferences for the assigned judge.
  • Build defensible chronologies from witness statements, e-mails and WhatsApp exports in any of 12 Indian languages.
  • Live retrieval mode during cross-examination — counsel pulls an exhibit or authority by query in under two seconds.

Corporate & M&A.

Diligence at firm scale; term sheets and SHAs in your house style.

What Gotham does
  • Run virtual-data-room diligence in Tabular Review — rows are contracts, columns are clauses, every cell cited back to a page.
  • Apply your firm's clause playbook (change-of-control, MAC, indemnity caps, governing law) and flag every off-market deviation.
  • Pull MCA filings, charge registers, board resolutions and beneficial-ownership chains directly from MCA21.
  • Redline SHAs, SPAs and term sheets against your firm's precedent library and prior closing positions.
