About the organisation

Artha Group is a premier venture capital and private equity firm, managing an AUM of ₹1,000+ crores across Artha Venture Fund, Artha Select Fund, and Artha Continuum Fund. 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.

About the Job Opportunity

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.

Job 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.

Eligibility & Qualifications:

  • 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.
  • 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.
