Practice Area
Proceedings before the NCLT and NCLAT for financial and operational creditors, and for corporate debtors.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 runs to a timetable that does not accommodate an unprepared party. Admission, moratorium, constitution of the committee of creditors, resolution and liquidation follow one another quickly, and a creditor who files late is a creditor bound by decisions taken without them.
We act for financial and operational creditors in section 7 and section 9 applications, for corporate debtors resisting admission, and for resolution applicants and committee members through the resolution process, before the NCLT and on appeal to the NCLAT.
For an operational creditor the threshold question is almost always the pre-existing dispute. A dispute genuinely raised before the demand notice defeats a section 9 application, and it is frequently the difference between recovering under the Code and recovering through a suit.
