Areas of Practice
Counsel across the commercial, criminal and constitutional bar.
Instructions are accepted in the areas set out below. Each matter is conducted personally, with junior counsel engaged where it warrants.
Corporate & Commercial
Advisory and contentious work for companies at every stage — from formation and shareholder arrangements through commercial contracting, banking and finance documentation, and mergers and acquisitions. Ongoing corporate advisory is provided under the Companies Act and allied enactments.
Criminal Defence
Defence at trial and on appeal, bail and anticipatory bail, petitions for quashing, and representation through investigation and remand. Economic and white-collar offences are handled alongside proceedings under special enactments including the NIA Act.
Litigation & Arbitration
Civil, commercial and corporate litigation before the High Courts and district courts, together with domestic and international arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. Mediation is pursued where it serves the client better than a contested hearing.
Insolvency & NCLT
Appearances before the National Company Law Tribunal, New Delhi. Work covers corporate insolvency resolution, applications by financial and operational creditors, claims and resolution plans under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, and company matters under the Companies Act.
Property & Land
Land acquisition and compensation, consolidation proceedings, title and partition disputes, landlord and tenant matters, construction and development disputes, and matters concerning co-operative societies.
Constitutional & Service
Writ petitions before the High Courts under Articles 226 and 227, service matters including departmental proceedings, promotion and seniority disputes, education matters, contempt proceedings, and administrative law generally.
Employment
Advice and representation for both employers and employees — wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, complaints of sexual harassment and the internal committee process, and whistleblower protection.

Trademark, copyright and patent matters including prosecution support, oppositions and infringement proceedings; technology and industry advisory; and estate planning including wills and probate.
