Kanika Sindhiya, Freelance Corporate Legal Counsel & Consultant
Full-Cycle Transactional Advisory & Contract Management for Businesses, Startups & MSMEs.
India qualified freelance corporate legal counsel, working globally.
Your single point of contact for corporate legal work globally, and litigation support to operate confidently in India.
I'm an independent corporate legal counsel with hands-on experience supporting startups and small to mid-sized businesses across their end-to-end legal needs — from contract drafting and review to managing legal documentation, loan transaction paperwork, and data privacy agreements.
I work with businesses globally, helping them navigate the legal paperwork, registrations, and documentation that come with running and scaling a company — whether that's a founders' agreement for a US startup, an NDA for a Singapore-based team, or a vendor contract for a business in Indonesia.
As India-qualified counsel, my scope of support is tailored to where you're based. For businesses outside India, I provide drafting, review, and end-to-end documentation support across agreements, contracts, compliance paperwork, and legal content management — giving you reliable, India-based legal execution without the overhead of a full firm.
For businesses in India, I offer complete end-to-end legal support, including litigation representation — from transactional work through to dispute resolution.
Whichever side of that you fall on, the goal is the same: clear, dependable legal support that keeps your business moving without the friction of a traditional legal team.

What clients say.
"Kanika structured our client service agreements, NDAs, and vendor contracts with real attention to detail — and she also helped document the legal side of our investment services offerings. She was responsive, precise, and made sure every agreement was airtight before it went out to clients. Would recommend her to any business looking for reliable contract support."
"Given the range of parties we deal with — freight forwarders, local and international couriers, packing vendors, and airline GSA and shipping line agents — our contracts needed someone who could move across different agreement types without missing the specifics each one required. Kanika drafted these for us with that level of care. She asked the right questions upfront, turned things around quickly, and we never had to go back and forth over unclear terms. Solid to work with on the legal side of a fairly complex vendor network."
"I had a backlog of motor vehicle challans — including cases under Section 3/181 of the Motor Vehicles Act — adding up to close to a lakh in pending fines across my vehicles. Kanika took charge of the entire process, from filing to follow-up, and got the matters resolved and disposed of without me having to run around courts or transport offices myself. Straightforward, efficient, and got results where I'd been putting things off for a while."
"My UP RERA matter had been stuck for close to two years before Kanika took it over. She got it filed, followed through properly, and had it settled and disposed of in just three hearing dates within a month — after two years of no movement. She took full charge of the documentation and drafting throughout, so I wasn't left chasing paperwork or wondering what stage things were at. Genuinely impressed with how quickly she moved something that had been stagnant for so long."
