The shift
From cross-checking the Act to advising with the section in hand
Commercial advice rewards precision — the right section, the right clause, the precedent that controls. Niyam compresses the search to find it without cutting the citation.
The old way
- Cross-checking Companies Act, 2013 provisions and rules under deadline
- Keyword search that misses the NCLAT decision phrased differently
- Copying citations and fearing one's been distinguished or overruled
- A general chatbot that invents a confident but non-existent ruling
With Niyam for Corporate & Commercial
- Ask in plain English; get the controlling section and decision in seconds
- Trace contract, company, insolvency, and arbitration questions to the source
- Every proposition cited to the provision or judgment, good-law checked
- Grounded only in real Indian commercial-law sources, never fabricated

Good-law signals on every cited case
Arbitration authority

Plain-English answers
Ask the commercial question you actually have
Type the question the way you'd put it to a partner — 'does this related-party transaction need shareholder approval under the Companies Act, 2013?' Niyam reads the Act and the governing decisions and answers in plain English, the controlling authority shown alongside.
- Understands the legal issue, not just the keywords
- Answers grounded in the section and decisions that govern it
- Citations sit beside the answer, one click from the source
Open every source
Citations you can open and check
Every proposition carries its authority. Open the cited section, rule, or decision, read the exact paragraph, and confirm it says what Niyam says — because in commercial work the source is the opinion.
- Pinpoint citations to the section, rule, or paragraph
- Jump straight from the answer to the primary source
- Nothing to take on faith — verify before you rely
Good-law signals
Know a precedent is safe before you rely on it
Niyam surfaces how later courts and tribunals have treated a judgment — followed, distinguished, referred, or overruled — so an overruled citation never reaches your opinion or pleading. When the law has moved on, it points you to the authority that now governs.
- Treatment history across Supreme Court, High Courts, and NCLAT
- Clear good-law / caution / overruled signals at a glance
- Jump from the signal to the judgment that set it
