Advisory
Our team is proud to deliver solutions to our clients that suit their requirements specifically. Our bespoke solutions are a matter of pride to us and a comfort to our clients. We cover all aspects of corporate law including the setting up or investing in joint ventures, subsidiaries or start up companies. Our clients range from technology companies to manufacturing experts. We are able to harness our experience to subject matter experts which allows us to support our clients int enders and government contracts as well. We look after due diligence, HR and employment law, as well as statutory compliances and labour and trade union negotiations. The ability to thinks strategically for our clients helps them avoid future litigation and legal costs.
Litigation
We are very active and have a robust team dealing with aspects of the actions involved in processes begun before the various courts. We cover both civil and criminal litigation, and our team of experts and external lawyers work closely with the core team to ensure a robust and dynamic response. We believe that trust is the core of most commercial relationships. This is truer when international borders are involved. Our work is focused on ensuring we protect our clients’ interests when this trust is broken. We appear in the courts at all levels and also in the various subject specific tribunals set up across the country,
Alternate Dispute Resolution
The court process may not always be the best way to solve disputes. Our team supports both mediation and arbitration efforts. We have been appearing before Indian and international arbitral tribunals. The enforcement of arbitral awards is a challenge, and our litigation team supports our clients through the complete process. We have appeared in various mediation efforts both court ordered as well as driven by the parties. While mediation is now a necessary tool to try to resolve commercial matters, it can be very effective in both personal as well as commercial disputes. The recognition by legislation of the benefits of alternate dispute resolution methods has meant that it is quickly becoming a binding route for parties to agree to compromises which allow them to focus on their core business and growth in India. Our team focusses on successful resolution to enable our clients to achieve this goal.
Policy Consulting
We provide reliable research and analyse developments in the law for consultations and work closely with education institutions, governmental advisory agencies and policymakers. Our issue-based approach is aimed at providing an empirical basis for long-lasting change.
Research & Analysis
We are working to contribute to the conceptual understanding of the developments in Indian law. Our efforts are aimed at a meaningful dialogue on the evolution of Indian legal jurisprudence. Our lawyers and researchers contribute to various media and academic journals and publications.
