Practice Area
Contractual claims, recovery actions and commercial suits before the designated commercial courts.
The Commercial Courts Act 2015 changed how commercial disputes are run in India, not merely where they are heard. Pleadings must be complete on filing, a written statement is barred after 120 days, disclosure obligations are real, and case management timetables are enforced. A commercial suit is largely won or lost on the papers filed in its first four months.
We act for claimants and defendants in contractual claims, recovery suits, guarantees and indemnities, supply and distribution disputes, and post-acquisition claims. Where the contract carries an arbitration clause, the first question is whether to resist reference under section 8 or to move the dispute there deliberately.
We advise on the commercial question before the legal one: whether a decree against this defendant will be worth anything. Attachment before judgment and disclosure of assets are considered at the outset, not after a decree has already become unenforceable.
