The firm specialises in carefully crafting the entire pre-litigation and dispute resolution strategy for clients to be comprehensively adopted across multiple fora and regulators. The firm also represents clients before various fora and regulators and is preferred for its pro-active and holistic approach in advising on dispute resolution matters.

Areas of practice

• Dispute Resolution: The firm advises and represents clients before various fora in respect of domestic and cross-border disputes and endeavors that dispute resolution and disposal is timely, commercially viable and benefits the client.
• Regulatory Action: The firm advises and assist clients in end-to-end representation before regulatory authorities including Registrar of Companies (ROC), Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
• Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR): The ADR mechanism of dispute resolution in India has recently gained prominence due to the prolonged and ever-increasing pressure on the Indian judiciary, causing delay in resolution and disposal of disputes. India’s fast paced economic growth and the consequent evolution of commercial and economic laws have made it incumbent to have an alternate dispute resolution system that provides an efficient and expeditious resolution of disputes in a cost-effective manner. Settlement of domestic and cross-border commercial disputes via ADR mechanisms such as arbitration, conciliation and mediation has brought a major positive transformation in the dispute resolution system in India. The firm has advised and represented various corporates and individuals in arbitrations and mediation proceedings.
