WHAT WE DO
The primary practice area of the firm is its general and corporate litigation and dispute resolution. The litigation practice of the firm is comprehensive as it embraces all areas and aspects of litigation i.e. the Original, Appellate, Revisional or Constitutional Jurisdictions. The firm is equipped to handle litigation for its clients in all Courts, Tribunals and Judicial Forums across India including the Alternate Disputes Resolution (ADR) Forums such as Arbitration, Mediation and Conciliation.
The firm is also actively involved in rendering legal opinions and drafting, reviewing, vetting of various legal contracts, agreements, deeds, communications etc. In the changed professional, economic and legal scenario, it is vital for its Clients to preserve and protect their rights and interest by seeking timely legal advice, opinions and support at the very inception before they enter into any jural or contractual relationship or commitment with other parties. The firm advises its Clients at the earliest stages to ensure that their legal and contractual rights remain protected.
The firm is committed to keep itself abreast with all legislative developments i.e. any changes, amendments, repeal of laws or the enactment of new laws in the best interest of its clients. The lawyers representing the firm have vast, varied and rich experience in all areas of litigation practice. It is the individual and collective endeavour of the lawyers of the firm to not only keep themselves abreast of all the developments in the legal field but share and discuss their ideas, views, research and creativity with each other for their mutual growth as they realise that eventually such healthy espirit de corps greatly contributes to the legal wisdom of all. The firm and its lawyers are fully conscious that they exist for the clients, which is the sole motivating force behind all their professional endeavours.
In Litigation before any Court, Forum or adjudicating authority, any or all of the following stages are involved:
- Drafting and filing of pleadings
- Determination and framing of issues arising in the proceedings;
- Recording of evidence both oral and documentary;
- Interim Relief pending adjudication of the main dispute;
- Final Arguments;
- Court verdict i.e. passing of Order/s, Judgement, Award or Decree etc;
- Further remedies by way of Review, Revision, Appeal, Writ etc;
- Execution of the Orders, Decrees or Awards etc., passed by the adjudicating Court or Forum.
There are specific rules governing pleadings, admissibility of evidence and the scope of arguments and as such a comprehensive and fully integrated knowledge and experience of the same coupled with a complete and exhaustive knowledge of the applicable substantive law is indispensible for any litigation lawyer and law firm. It is the lawyers who constitute a law firm and therefore their individual experience, knowledge, wisdom, prudence and creativity are of paramount importance.
The firm and its lawyers are mindful of the importance and significance of each of the stages while representing their individual or corporate clients. At each of these stages, sound and effective legal analysis, advice and representation is crucial. For instance improper or deficient pleadings impact the right of the litigant to lead evidence which in turn has a significant bearing on the scope, ambit and extent of the legal submissions to be addressed during the course of the final arguments and thus eventually on the outcome of the Court verdict.
