With investments in 116+ high-growth companies , including OYO Rooms, Purplle, Rapido, and Karza Technologies , we are at the forefront of structuring, negotiating, and executing investments across listed and unlisted markets .

We are seeking a highly meticulous, corporate finance-focused Legal Associate to oversee transaction-level legal work , ensuring that investment agreements, shareholder rights, and legal structuring align with Artha’s strategic interests.

The Role : Legal Oversight in Venture Capital Transactions

This is a corporate finance legal role —not a litigation position. The Legal Associate will be responsible for drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and ensuring the enforceability of legal documents related to venture capital investments, shareholder rights, and service-level agreements .

Key Responsibilities

Investment Agreements & Structuring

  • Review, negotiate, and finalize Shareholders’ Agreements (SHAs), Share Subscription Agreements (SSAs), and other investment-related contracts before they reach the signing stage.
  • Ensure that Artha’s investor rights and protections are fully secured in all investment-specific negotiations .
  • Collaborate with investment teams to structure transactions in a legally sound manner , ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks.
  • Work closely with external legal counsel on complex deal structuring, investment governance, and rights enforcement .

Contract Drafting, Review & Negotiation

  • Draft, review, and negotiate service-level agreements, commercial contracts, and vendor agreements to ensure that all legal obligations are met.
  • Ensure that all agreements reflect Artha’s commercial interests, minimize legal risks, and align with compliance protocols .
  • Conduct legal due diligence on contracts, ensuring that critical business risks and legal obligations are addressed.
  • Legal Governance & Risk Management

  • Maintain a legal tracker for all ongoing legal matters, regulatory filings, and compliance obligations .
  • Work with external litigation teams to ensure structured legal follow-ups , though this role does not involve court appearances .
  • Proactively identify and mitigate legal risks associated with investments, contracts, and fund operations .
  • Provide internal legal advisory support , ensuring that investment decisions align with corporate governance best practices .
  • High-Pressure Legal Decision-Making & Time Optimization

  • Prioritize and structure legal matters to ensure that the Founder and leadership team spend time only on critical legal decisions .
  • Operate under tight deal timelines , ensuring that transactional legal processes are executed with speed and precision .
  • Act as a trusted legal partner in investment negotiations , ensuring that contractual terms are favorable and risk-free for Artha.
  • Who You Are

  • A sharp, detail-obsessed corporate finance lawyer with a strong understanding of venture capital deal structuring .
  • A meticulous legal mind , with a keen ability to spot contractual loopholes and enforce investor protections .
  • Paranoid about details , ensuring that no contractual risk or compliance oversight occurs .
  • Comfortable working in a high-pressure, fast-paced investment environment , where legal precision determines deal success .
  • Qualifications & Skills

  • LL.B or LL.M from a recognized law school.
  • Bar Admission (LLP required) to practice law in India.
  • 4+ years of experience in venture capital, private equity, or corporate finance legal work .
  • Deep expertise in venture capital transactions , including SHAs, SSAs, convertible notes, and investment rights .
  • Proficiency in contract negotiation, investment structuring, and regulatory compliance .
  • Strong business writing skills with the ability to draft precise, enforceable legal documents .
  • Highly structured, execution-driven, and data-oriented , with a relentless focus on accuracy and legal risk management .
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Total Annual Package : ₹21,00,000
  • Fixed Annual Salary : ₹18,00,000
  • Annual Retention Bonus : ₹3,00,000
  • Direct exposure to high-stakes investment decisions in a top-tier venture capital firm .
  • Fast-track career pathway in corporate finance law , with exposure to multi-million-dollar transactions .
  • A dynamic, high-impact work environment , where legal expertise drives investment success .
