Who we act for
The firm advises on transactions and acts in the disputes that may arise from them.
Individuals and families
Property, succession, consumer and money disputes, matrimonial property questions and criminal complaints, handled in confidence.
Founders and companies
Structuring, funding, contracts, compliance and boardroom disputes, from the first incorporation to an exit or a hearing before the NCLT.
NRIs and overseas clients
Property, family and business matters in India for clients abroad, and India-side advice for foreign businesses entering or trading with India.
Matters in India for clients abroad
Many matters in India are handled for clients who are in another country. These are the practical points that arise most often.
Time zones
The offices work Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 19:00 India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Meetings by video call are available for clients abroad.
Documents signed abroad
A document signed outside India usually needs notarisation and an apostille or consular attestation before it is used in India. The requirement depends on the country and the document.
More than one country
Where a matter also touches another jurisdiction, the firm advises on the questions of Indian law and coordinates with counsel in the other country where one is needed.

How we work
Some matters call for advice before a dispute arises, others for representation after it. We advise with the next stage of the matter already in view.
Advice before and during a dispute
We set out the likely objections, forums and timelines at the outset, so that a reply to a notice is written with the eventual hearing in mind.
Technology and data matters
The firm reviews contracts, data flows and transaction records, which matters when the facts sit in a platform, a ledger or a server log.
How the firm works
Advice is given in writing where the matter requires it. Each matter is handled by a named advocate.
