Considered counsel for disputes, transactions and the questions in between.
M S Sulthan Legal Associates is a full-service law firm with offices in Kozhikode, Kochi and New Delhi. We act for individuals, families, founders and companies in India and abroad, before courts and tribunals and at the negotiating table.
One firm, every stage of the matter.
Each practice area has its own page setting out the problems we see, the forums we appear in and answers to the questions clients ask most. See all practice areas
Who we act for
The same team advises on the transaction and runs the dispute that may follow, so advice given at the start still holds at the end.
Individuals and families
Property, succession, consumer and money disputes, matrimonial property questions and criminal complaints, handled with discretion and plain advice.
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 can be arranged at a time that suits both sides.
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.
Take a first reading yourself.
Self-assessment tools prepared by the firm on structure, compliance and cost. Use them before a consultation to arrive with sharper questions.
The tools give general information, not legal advice. Your answers are not sent to the firm unless you choose to contact us.
How we work
Most legal problems are cheaper to manage early than to rescue late. We advise with the next stage of the matter already in view.
Strategic, not reactive
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.
At home with technology
We read contracts, data flows and transaction records ourselves, which matters when the facts sit in a platform, a ledger or a server log.
Plain advice, agreed fees
You hear what we think and why, in writing where it counts. Fees are agreed before work begins, and you deal directly with the advocate on your matter.
