Commercial and Corporate Litigation
Indian commercial litigation is won on the interim application and on the documents filed in the first sixty days.
What we do
We conduct commercial disputes before the commercial courts and the High Courts under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 and the amended Code of Civil Procedure. Contractual claims, recovery suits, specific performance, injunctions and declaratory relief. Interim relief, which in practice determines the commercial outcome long before trial, and which is where preparation shows. Summary judgment applications, a remedy still underused in India. Attachment before judgment and asset preservation where the defendant is likely to dissipate. Enforcement and execution, which is the stage at which most Indian decrees quietly die and which we treat as part of the case rather than as an afterthought. We also advise before proceedings begin, on whether the claim is worth bringing, what it will cost in management time, and whether the commercial relationship is worth more than the claim. Frequently it is.
