GCO gives you a senior General Counsel who has worked inside large companies and advised their boards — without the cost of hiring one full-time. Practical advice that protects your business and helps it move forward.
Led by Karuna Kumar and Amar K. Ramani — a combined 75+ years as advocates and General Counsel across banking, steel, and industry.
"Most legal advice tells you what you can't do. Ours tells you what you can do — and how to do it safely."
Not a law firm on retainer. A GC's office you can call your own — without the cost of hiring one full-time. Especially strong where labour law and compliance meet business risk.
Senior legal support without a full-time hire. We work as part of your team — involved before decisions are made, not brought in to fix things after. This includes hands-on help with labour law and compliance, not just occasional advice.
We start with what your business is trying to do, then find the safe way to do it. This matters most in employment, industrial relations, and compliance — areas where a wrong step can cost the most.
Clear counsel in the language boards use — risk, governance, and business impact — from someone who has sat in that room, not outside it. Compliance is treated as a board matter, not a back-office task.
Over 30 years of experience as both an advocate and in-house counsel, with deep expertise in labour law, industrial relations, and compliance. She has served as in-house counsel for a major Indian steel manufacturer and as advocate for institutions including SAIL and ICICI.
She authored "Ready Reckoner on Departmental Proceedings," forewarded by a former Chief Justice of India.
Over four decades as both a practising advocate and General Counsel, having led legal functions at the State Bank of India for two decades and at JSW Steel for eleven years, retiring as General Manager (Law).
He now advises corporates and resolution applicants on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, real estate redevelopment, and proceedings before the NCLT and NCLAT.
Whether you're looking for ongoing fractional GC support or advice on a specific matter, we'd welcome the conversation.
