Dispute Resolution & Litigation

Civil and commercial litigation, arbitration and settlement strategy before Courts, Commercial Courts and arbitral tribunals across India.

In simple terms: when people or businesses have a serious disagreement — about money, property, contracts or partnerships — we fight the case in court or resolve it through arbitration.

When a business deal breaks down, a payment is withheld, a property is encroached or a partnership turns hostile, we take the dispute to the right forum with a defined endgame — judgment, settlement or enforcement.

Civil Litigation

  • Recovery Suits — Court cases to recover money someone owes you and refuses to pay.
  • Money Suits — Lawsuits for unpaid dues, loans, advances and financial claims between parties.
  • Specific Performance Suits — Forcing the other side to honour a signed agreement — most often property sale agreements.
  • Injunction Matters — Urgent court orders to stop someone from acting — selling disputed property, using your brand, or breaching a contract.
  • Property Disputes — Cases over ownership, possession, boundaries and inheritance of land and buildings.
  • Partnership Disputes — Resolving conflicts between business partners — profit sharing, exit, dissolution and accounts.
  • Contractual Disputes — Enforcing agreements or defending claims when a contract is broken.
  • Commercial Recovery Actions — Structured legal recovery of business receivables and trade dues.

Commercial Litigation

Frequently asked questions

How long does commercial litigation take in India?

Commercial Courts Act matters follow tighter timelines than ordinary civil suits — with case-management hearings and summary-judgment provisions. Strategy, forum choice and interim relief often matter more than the final hearing date.

Is arbitration better than going to court?

For most commercial contracts with an arbitration clause, yes — it is private, faster and the arbitrator can be a subject expert. But the right answer depends on the dispute: interim court protection, counterparty conduct and enforcement strategy all factor in.
