Legal Drafting in English

Commercial and personal documents drafted in English by an advocate, for parties, banks and institutions that work in it.

When English is the right language

Where a party does not read Gujarati; where the document will be read by a bank, a company, an institution or a counterparty outside Gujarat; where it forms part of a corporate or MCA filing; or where it is intended to take effect outside India. In those cases an English draft is not a compromise — it is the document that will actually be relied on.

What we draft

Commercial agreements of every kind — partnership and LLP, employment and service, NDAs, franchise, distribution, supply, job work, sub-contract and construction. Property documents and conveyances. Wills and succession documentation. Powers of attorney, including for use abroad. Company and firm documentation: board resolutions, authorised signatory letters, registered office NOCs, tender declaration sets. Legal notices and replies.

Drafting is the part where skill changes the outcome.

The stamp is a government charge and the notarial seal certifies execution. Neither makes the document say what you meant. Most documents that fail do not fail on the stamp — they fail because a fact was stated too loosely for an officer to act on it, a property was described in a way that does not match the record, or a payment schedule had no consequence attached to a default.

Documents intended to take effect abroad

Section 8(1)(g) of the Notaries Act, 1952 empowers a notary to prepare, attest or authenticate an instrument intended to take effect in a country outside India, in a form and language conforming to the law of the place where it is to operate. That notarisation is normally the first step, followed by State authentication and then the Ministry of External Affairs for apostille, and by the relevant embassy for non-Hague countries. We prepare and notarise; we will tell you the correct onward route.

On stamp duty.

We do not publish duty figures on this website. The Gujarat Stamp Act, 1958 was amended in 2025 and several articles were restructured; a rate printed on a web page goes stale and costs somebody money. As a Government authorised e-Stamping centre we confirm the duty currently prescribed for your specific document and issue the e-stamp against it, at face value. The notarial fee is separate and capped by law — ₹35 to attest execution, ₹35 to administer an oath or take an affidavit, under Rule 10(1) of the Notaries Rules, 1956. The full fee table →

Drafted here, in Gujarati or English

Drafted by an advocate of 35+ years rather than filled into a downloaded template, e-stamped at a Government authorised centre, and notarised in the same visit. If the parties read Gujarati, the document is drafted in Gujarati — not translated out of an English form, because legal Gujarati has its own settled vocabulary and a literal translation frequently means something looser.

What to bring

  • Photo ID for everyone who has to sign
  • The underlying papers giving rise to the matter
  • Any correspondence already exchanged
  • Authority to sign, where a firm or company is involved

Common questions

Should my document be in English or Gujarati?

Whichever the parties actually read. If the signatories read Gujarati, draft in Gujarati and take an English translation for the institutions that need one. A document in a language a party did not fully understand is exactly what a challenger builds a case on.

Can you draft documents for use outside India?

Yes. A notary may prepare, attest or authenticate an instrument intended to take effect outside India under section 8(1)(g) of the Notaries Act, 1952. We prepare and notarise it and tell you the onward authentication and apostille route.

Do you draft for companies?

Yes — board resolutions, authorised signatory documentation, registered office NOCs for MCA filings, commercial contracts and tender declaration sets.

Not sure which document you need?

Tell us what the office, bank or court asked for. We will name the exact document, the stamp value and whether notarisation is enough — before you pay anything.
