About Us

Corporate & legal advisors

Legacy Partners is a corporate advisory firm founded in 2012 to give businesses reliable, practical, full-service advice — legal, tax, financial and regulatory — from one trusted team.

Our chartered accountants, corporate lawyers, company secretaries and management professionals work side by side, so clients get joined-up answers instead of separate advisers. We help businesses at every stage, from setting up a start-up to scaling up, raising funds, expanding and planning their next venture.

01What services does Legacy Partners offer?

We are a full-service advisory firm. Our teams cover corporate and legal services, intellectual property, tax, audit and assurance, strategic consulting and law — including company set-up, compliance, contracts, trademarks and patents, GST and income tax, audits, valuations, funding and dispute resolution. See all our practice areas.

02Where are your offices, and do you work with clients across India?

Our offices in India are in Kochi, Calicut and Mumbai. We work with clients in every part of India, with meetings in person, by phone or online, and documents shared and signed digitally wherever the law allows.

03Can you help me register a company or LLP in India?

Yes. We help you choose the right structure — private limited company, LLP, one person company or partnership — and handle incorporation, PAN, TAN, GST and other registrations, bank account opening support and first-year compliance. See our business set-up service.

04Do you work with start-ups?

Yes, from idea stage to funding and beyond. We help with structuring, founders’ agreements, DPIIT start-up recognition, tax benefits, trademarks, ESOPs, investor documents, accounting and compliance. See our start-up services.

05How can I protect my brand name, logo or invention?

Register your brand name and logo as trademarks, protect inventions with patents, original creative work with copyright, and product shapes with design registration. We run searches first, file the applications and handle objections, oppositions and renewals. See our intellectual property services.

06Can you manage our GST, TDS and income tax compliance?

Yes. Our chartered accountants handle GST returns and reconciliations, TDS, advance tax, income tax returns and tax audits, and reply to notices — already working under the new Income-tax Act, 2025. See our tax compliance service.

07Can you help resolve a business dispute?

Yes. We advise on negotiation, mediation and arbitration, represent clients in commercial disputes and help recover unpaid dues, including through insolvency proceedings where appropriate. See our dispute resolution service.

08How much do your services cost?

Fees depend on the work involved. Routine services such as registrations and filings are usually offered at a fixed fee, while advisory and dispute work is quoted after we understand your needs. You always receive a clear quote before any work begins.

09Will my information be kept confidential?

Yes. Our chartered accountants, lawyers and company secretaries are bound by professional confidentiality obligations, and we share client information only as needed to do the work or as required by law.
