Our Process

How We Approach Your Case

A structured, client-first methodology from the first consultation to final resolution.

Case Assessment & Strategy

We begin with a thorough analysis of facts, evidence, and applicable law. We evaluate the merits, identify risks, estimate timelines, and develop a clear litigation strategy — including whether ADR might be a faster or more cost-effective route.

Pre-Litigation & Notices

Before filing, we pursue every viable resolution channel. This includes drafting legal notices, demand letters, cease-and-desist communications, and engaging in settlement negotiations to resolve disputes without courtroom proceedings where possible.

Filing & Interim Relief

We prepare comprehensive pleadings — plaints, written statements, counter-claims, and applications for interim relief including injunctions, stay orders, attachment before judgment, and receiver appointments to protect your interests during litigation.

Trial & Evidence

Our team handles witness examination, cross-examination, documentary evidence compilation, expert witness coordination, and oral arguments. We ensure every procedural requirement is met and every evidentiary opportunity is leveraged.

Judgment, Appeals & Enforcement

Post-judgment, we handle appeals, revisions, SLPs, review petitions, and execution proceedings. We ensure favorable orders are enforced effectively — including attachment of properties, arrest warrants, garnishment, and contempt proceedings.
