Your Words.
Our Contracts.
Your Protection.

The Growing SME

Ankit, who runs a textile unit in Ahmedabad, signed a vendor agreement without carefully reviewing it. When delays occurred, the fine print favored the vendor, leaving him with losses worth lakhs. Across the city, a freelance designer, Neha, trusted a client’s word for payment—but without a written contract, she was left unpaid. From startups to established exporters, one truth remains constant: contracts are not paperwork—they are protection.

Why it Matters?

In Ahmedabad’s fast-growing economy, businesses of all sizes—from SMEs to global exporters—depend on agreements. But verbal promises or poorly drafted documents can quickly turn into costly disputes. A well-drafted contract is not just legal compliance—it’s your shield against uncertainty, your framework for trust, and your insurance against risk.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some of the most common observations we receive, designed to provide you with clear, concise answers to help you understand the process better.

Q.1. Why do I need a lawyer for contracts instead of using templates online?

A. Templates miss business-specific protections and may not comply with Indian law.

Q.2. Can Aaroh Law help with international contracts?

A. Yes, we draft contracts enforceable across jurisdictions while rooted in Indian law.

Q.3. What contracts does my startup in Ahmedabad need immediately?

A. Founders’ agreement, employment contracts, vendor agreements, and client contracts.

Q.4. How are contracts enforced in Gujarat if someone breaches them?

A. Enforceability comes through Indian courts or arbitration, depending on clauses.

Q.5. Do family businesses really need formal agreements?

A. Yes, contracts prevent disputes between suppliers, partners, and even relatives.

Q.6. Can you review contracts I already have?

A. Absolutely, we audit and strengthen your contracts to close loopholes.

Q.7. What’s the cost of drafting a commercial contract?

A. Fees depend on complexity, we ensure cost-effective, tailored solutions.

Q.8. Are digital contracts valid in India?

A. Yes, e-contracts are legally enforceable under the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Q.9. Why do I need a written contract if I trust the other party?

A. A written contract ensures clarity and reduces misunderstandings. Even among friends or trusted partners, clearly defined terms protect everyone’s interests and make enforcement easier under Indian law.

Q.10. Can WhatsApp or email exchanges be considered a valid contract in India?

A. Yes, if they contain offer, acceptance and consideration. However, proving terms in the court can be difficult. A properly drafted contract is always safer than relying only on messages.

Q.11. How much does it cost to get a contract drafted by a lawyer in Ahmedabad?

A. Costs vary depending on complexity. A simple service agreement may cost less, while detailed joint venture or shareholder agreements require more drafting time. It’s always cheaper to get it right first than to fix disputes later.

Q.12. What happens if my agreement does not include a dispute resolution clause?

A. In absence of such a clause, disputes may go straight to court, which is time-consuming and costly. Adding arbitration or mediation clauses gives you control over how conflicts will be resolved.

Q.13. Can I just edit a template myself and make it valid?

A. Editing a template without legal knowledge can create loopholes or contradictions. Courts in Gujarat have rejected contracts with copied clauses that conflicted with Indian law. It’s always better to customize with professional guidance.

Q.14. Can I just edit a template myself and make it valid?

A. Editing a template without legal knowledge can create loopholes or contradictions. Various Courts of India have already rejected contracts with copied clauses that conflicted with various sectoral laws and guidelines. It’s always better to customize with proficiency.

Q.15. Many startups in Ahmedabad use free contracts. Should I worry?

A. Yes. In fact, several local disputes arise because of “cut-paste contracts” that missed critical terms like liability caps or arbitration jurisdiction. A customized agreement protects you before problems arise.

Q.16. Many startups in use free contracts. Should I worry?

A. Yes. In fact, several local disputes arise because of “cut-paste contracts” that missed critical terms like liability caps or arbitration jurisdiction. A customized agreement protects you before problems arise.

Q.17. If I tell an AI system to draft a contract that is ‘tailored, enforceable, and legally compliant,’ won’t that solve my problem?

A. AI can generate a strong draft, but it cannot guarantee enforceability under Indian law. For instance, it may insert clauses valid in the U.S. but void under the Indian Contract Act. It also ignores practical aspects like Stamp Duty, Registration, State-specific rules, and negotiation realities. AI cannot predict risks unique to your business or defend the contract in court. At best, AI gives you a draft; a lawyer makes it airtight, enforceable, and business aligned.

Q.18. Do contracts in Gujarat need to be stamped or registered to be valid?

A. Yes. Under the Indian Stamp Act and Gujarat Stamp Rules, many contracts—like leases, partnership deeds, or high-value agreements—require proper stamping, and in some cases, registration. An unstamped or insufficiently stamped contract may not be admissible in court. That’s why compliance with local stamp duty laws is critical when executing contracts in Ahmedabad or anywhere in Gujarat.
