Legal consultation
Legal Consultation Online in India
Online legal consultation allows an individual or a business to discuss a legal issue with a legal professional remotely. Sutor provides a platform for describing your matter, uploading the relevant documents, researching the applicable Indian law and obtaining legal assistance without requiring an initial in-person meeting. Consultations cover civil, criminal, corporate, commercial, property, employment, family, intellectual property, technology and startup matters.
Key takeaways
- Describe the matter and upload the documents before the first conversation — it makes the consultation far more useful.
- Check any deadline that is already running: a contractual notice period, a limitation date or a court date.
- Legal information tells you how the law works; advice applies it to your facts and requires a professional.
- Consultations cover individual, business and enterprise matters across Indian law.

Legal information and legal advice are not the same thing
The answer pages on this site explain how a provision of Indian law works in general — what a statute requires, what the timelines are, and what the practical consequences usually look like. That is legal information, and it is published with the sources it rests on so it can be verified.
Legal advice is different. It applies the law to your specific facts, weighs the evidence you actually have, and recommends a course of action. It depends on the documents, the chronology and the commercial position, and it requires a qualified legal professional. A consultation is where that happens.
Work on the matter, not just talk about it

Frequently asked questions
- What is online legal consultation?
- Online legal consultation is a remote discussion of a legal issue with a legal professional. Instead of an initial in-person meeting, you describe the matter, share the relevant documents securely and work through the legal position online. Sutor structures this around a matter record so the documents, the applicable law and the guidance stay together rather than being scattered across email.
- What should I prepare before a legal consultation?
- Prepare a short dated chronology of what happened, the outcome you want, the documents that relate to the matter including any contract and correspondence, details of the other party, and any deadline that is already running — a notice period, a limitation date or a court date. A consultation is far more productive when the facts and documents are organised in advance.
- Which areas of law does Sutor cover?
- Consultations cover civil disputes, criminal matters, corporate and commercial law, contracts, property and real estate, employment and labour, family and matrimonial, intellectual property, technology and data protection, and startup legal matters — all in the context of Indian law.
- Is information on Sutor legal advice?
- General information published on the site, including the answer pages, is legal information about Indian law rather than legal advice on your situation. Advice depends on your specific facts and requires a consultation with a qualified legal professional. Nothing on the site creates a lawyer–client relationship by itself.
- How is my information kept confidential?
- Matter data is isolated per account, access is role-based, and access to matters is recorded in audit trails. For organisations with data residency requirements, the platform can be deployed in a private cloud or fully on-premise so that documents do not leave your own environment.

Consulting on behalf of a business?
Business and enterprise legal work runs on a different footing from an individual consultation.
In-House Legal Teams
In-house legal teams carry contract review, advisory, compliance and dispute work for the whole business with a fraction of the headcount of an external firm.
Law Firms
Law firms carry many matters at once across different clients, courts and areas of law.
Startups
Early-stage companies need legal work done correctly long before they can justify a legal hire.
