In Short
S&S Co. serves Salt Lake's corporate and IT sector, particularly the Sector V technology hub, in corporate advisory, commercial litigation and employment matters, from our Kolkata office.
Serving Salt Lake's IT & Corporate Hub
Salt Lake City (officially Bidhannagar) is Kolkata's planned satellite township and the heart of the city's IT and corporate services sector, with Sector V hosting a dense concentration of technology companies, BPOs and corporate offices, alongside government and financial institutions in the broader Salt Lake area.
We advise Salt Lake-based technology and corporate clients on employment contracts, commercial agreements, IP protection for software and digital products, and corporate structuring, representing clients in disputes before the Bidhannagar courts and the Calcutta High Court.

Illustrative Scenarios
The following are hypothetical, illustrative scenarios prepared for educational purposes. They are not descriptions of actual client matters, and no outcome is guaranteed in any specific case.
Illustrative Scenario
Sector V IT Company Protecting Proprietary Software From a Former Vendor
A Salt Lake IT company discovers a former vendor has repurposed its proprietary code in a competing product. Copyright protection combined with the vendor agreement's confidentiality obligations gives parallel grounds to pursue an injunction and damages.
Illustrative Scenario
Technology Startup Structuring Its First Institutional Funding Round
A Sector V-based startup closing its first institutional round needs a term sheet and shareholders' agreement that balance founder control with standard investor protections. Getting this right at the first round avoids a harder renegotiation later.
Illustrative Scenario
BPO Employer Managing a Non-Compete Dispute With a Departing Manager
A Salt Lake BPO's departing manager joins a competitor, and the company seeks to enforce a broad non-compete clause. Indian courts are typically reluctant to enforce post-employment restraints, making confidentiality-focused protection the more durable approach.
Illustrative Scenario
Corporate Client Structuring an IT Services Outsourcing Agreement
A financial institution engaging a Salt Lake IT services provider needs a services agreement with clear SLAs, data-protection obligations and liability caps. Getting these terms right at signing avoids costly disputes over service failures later.
Notable Legal Developments
Joint Parliamentary Committee — Bill PendingApr 2026
Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026
Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 Set to Overhaul NCLT Scheme-of-Arrangement Procedure
Now before the Joint Parliamentary Committee, the Bill proposes sweeping changes to Sections 230–233 of the Companies Act, 2013, streamlining NCLT scheme-of-arrangement procedures, revising creditor/shareholder meeting-class thresholds, clarifying cross-border merger rules for foreign companies, decriminalising a swathe of provisions, and removing the IBC cross-reference from Section 230(1). Multi-bench NCLT schemes that previously took 12–14 months are expected to complete materially faster once the reforms are notified.
Key Takeaway — Deal teams should build the Bill's phased notification timeline into scheme-of-arrangement planning now — CP language and expected timelines in transaction documents may need revision once provisions come into force.
Delhi High Court2026
ADS Spirits v. Registrar of Trade Marks
'Uniqueness' Is Not the Test for Trademark Registration — Distinctiveness Under Section 9(1)(a) Suffices
The Delhi High Court held that a mark need not be wholly unique to qualify for registration under Section 9(1)(a) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 — distinctiveness in relation to the goods or services concerned is the governing standard. The Court also directed the Trade Marks Registry to pass reasoned, speaking orders when refusing applications rather than terse rejections.
Key Takeaway — Applicants wrongly refused registration on grounds of 'lack of uniqueness' now have clear Delhi HC authority to challenge such orders, and are entitled to a reasoned order explaining the refusal.
