WAYVERAdvocates & Solicitors
Lawyers helping businesses protect intellectual property, structure commercial relationships, navigate regulation, and confidently enter the Indian market.
Drawing on experience at leading Indian law firms and training at India’s premier law universities, we deliver thoughtful, commercially grounded advice tailored to each client’s business, priorities, and objectives.
Our Star Practice Areas
Trademark and intellectual property work sits at the core of Wayver's practice, alongside corporate advisory, regulatory compliance, product launch due diligence, and India market entry support.
Trademark Protection in India
Wayver advises businesses on protecting, managing, and enforcing trademarks in India. Our work includes trademark availability and knockout searches, filing and prosecution, examination responses, oppositions, cancellations, portfolio management, and enforcement. We also advise on broader brand-protection matters involving copyright, licensing, assignments, and commercial use of intellectual property.
International Trademarks & Madrid Protocol
Wayver assists Indian businesses expanding overseas and international trademark owners seeking protection in India. Our work includes Madrid Protocol applications filed through the Indian Office of Origin, subsequent designations, international portfolio strategy, and responses to provisional refusals issued in India against international registrations. We also coordinate with foreign counsel where protection or enforcement is required across multiple jurisdictions.
Copyright, Licensing & IP Transactions
Wayver advises on copyright protection, intellectual property licensing, assignments, brand-use arrangements, and other commercial transactions involving intellectual property.
India Market Entry Advisory
For overseas companies exploring India, Wayver provides structured market entry due diligence and advisory. This includes assessing the regulatory route and licensing requirements for the relevant sector, reviewing state-wise compliance considerations, evaluating documentation and commercial risk, and advising on pricing structure and route to market. We also make practical introductions to distributors, importers, and partners best suited to the business.
Corporate, Commercial & Business Advisory
Wayver advises founders, growing businesses, and international companies on the legal and commercial decisions that support day-to-day operations and long-term growth. Our work includes business structuring, commercial contracts, investment documentation, negotiations, governance matters, and ongoing general counsel support, with advice tailored to commercial objectives rather than legal formalities.
Regulatory & Compliance Advisory
Regulatory obligations vary across industries, products, and business models. Wayver helps businesses understand the applicable legal framework, obtain necessary registrations, and implement practical compliance processes across food and beverage, consumer products, technology, and other regulated sectors.
Product Launch & Market Entry
Before entering the Indian market or launching a new product, businesses should understand the legal, regulatory, and commercial risks that may affect their operations. Wayver conducts structured legal due diligence covering trademark availability, regulatory requirements, contractual arrangements, documentation, and market-entry considerations, helping businesses launch with greater confidence.
Cross-Border Business Support
Wayver advises international businesses establishing and managing commercial relationships in India. We assist with distributor and supplier arrangements, cross-border commercial contracts, coordination with overseas counsel, and ongoing legal support throughout the India expansion process.
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT
We begin with the business model, commercial goal and practical problem | not with legal jargon.
IDENTIFY THE LEGAL RISK
We assess where documents, rights, obligations, or compliance gaps may create exposure for the business.
PREPARE & SUPPORT EXECUTION
We draft, review, negotiate and help clients move the legal work forward at the pace of their business.
FRACTIONAL LEGAL COUNSEL
For clients who need regular legal support, Wayver offers ongoing advisory and fractional legal counsel beyond one-off engagements.
