Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Strong courtroom advocacy. Pragmatic, solution-oriented strategy.
Disputes, whether personal or business related, demand a combination of strong courtroom advocacy, deep legal insight, and pragmatic solutions. Our practice protects the interests of individuals, corporates and institutions, with representation before all levels of courts, arbitral tribunals, regulatory bodies and specialised tribunals.
We are well equipped to address the entire gamut of litigation requirements, whether court-driven process or Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Our Approach
Litigation is often complex, time-consuming, and resource-intensive — which is why strategic planning, risk evaluation, and legal foresight are critical before initiating or defending any legal action. Our team approaches each matter strategically and with due deliberation, leveraging industry knowledge and extensive litigation experience to identify legal risks early, formulate preventive strategies, and position each case advantageously — often long before it reaches the courtroom.
Our litigation and disputes team works in close collaboration with clients to create a tailored strategy that balances legal merit with commercial objectives — proactive, analytical, and focused on resolving disputes efficiently, whether through settlement, mediation, or formal litigation.
Civil Litigation
We represent individuals, corporates and institutions in civil disputes across all levels of Indian courts — from contractual disputes and property matters to recovery actions and injunctive relief.
Criminal Litigation
Our criminal litigation practice provides defence and prosecution support across trial courts, High Courts and the Supreme Court, including securing interim protection such as bail and quashing of proceedings where warranted.
Tax Litigation
We understand that tax disputes in India require specialised expertise, strategic thinking, and tenacious advocacy. Our tax litigation practice delivers robust representation across all forums while helping clients navigate India's complex tax landscape with confidence.
APTEL Litigation
We regularly appear before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity on tariff disputes and regulatory matters. We recently secured interim relief in a high-value tariff dispute, obtaining status quo of 50% of a tariff adjustment on a retrospective basis for our client.
Corporate Disputes & NCLT
Our corporate disputes practice covers insolvency, restructuring and company-law disputes before the NCLT and NCLAT — including securing reliefs such as injunctions and regulatory oversight, negotiated settlements and buyout arrangements, disputes stemming from breach of joint venture or investment agreements, and disputes relating to valuation, earn-out clauses and indemnity obligations. We recently represented a Corporate Debtor in a Section 7 petition where the NCLT rejected the applicant's claim against our client, with costs.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
We recognise that litigation is not always the most practical method for resolving disputes — especially across multiple jurisdictions. We offer tailored ADR solutions through arbitration, mediation and conciliation, including:
- Strategy highlighting the pros and cons of ADR
- Counsel on procedural aspects — venue selection and tribunal constitution
- Efficacious invocation of ADR proceedings when disputes arise
- Participation and representation across all forums of ADR
- Drafting & filing pleadings
- Invoking interim injunctive reliefs to mitigate risk and damages
- Enforcing and/or challenging arbitral awards
Key Service Offerings
We believe the foundation of effective dispute resolution lies in a well-crafted pre-litigation strategy: evaluation of potential disputes and legal risks, identifying causes of action and available remedies, analysing contractual frameworks and statutory obligations, and advising on limitation periods, venue and forum selection.
Handling pre-litigation negotiations, settlement discussions and mediation efforts, alongside advisory on contract renegotiation and proactive dispute avoidance measures.
From case institution to pleadings, evidence, arguments and final judgment, we manage each stage of litigation with precision — including revisions, reviews, appeals and execution proceedings.
Advising on documentary evidence and forensic readiness; drafting and issuing legal notices, cease-and-desist letters and responses to pre-litigation correspondence; reviewing and organising records for litigation preparedness.
Our litigators appear regularly before the Supreme Court of India, High Courts across the country, District & Sessions Courts, and specialised tribunals such as NCLAT, NCLT, APTEL, DRT/DRAT, CCI and NGT — handling civil, criminal, commercial, constitutional, family, labour, IP, tax and regulatory matters.
We are adept at seeking and securing urgent interim reliefs — injunctions, stays, bail, or asset protection orders — safeguarding client interests in real time during high-stakes matters.
