Corporate Advisory, Governance & Regulatory Compliance
Corporate and regulatory compliances involve statutory governance, reporting, and recordkeeping obligations applicable to companies, LLPs, partnerships, startups, and joint ventures, depending on their legal structure and sector. Professional work under this head relates to corporate governance processes, statutory documentation, compliance planning, and business transaction support, subject to applicable law, delegated rules/regulations, and the requirements of the relevant authorities.
Work may extend across the lifecycle of business operations and may include incorporation, restructuring, reconstitution, and conversion of entities under applicable corporate laws; drafting and review of shareholder and joint venture documentation; and drafting/vetting of commercial contracts connected with business operations. Corporate governance work may include board and shareholder processes, statutory registers, minutes/resolutions, policies, and compliance under the Companies Act and allied laws. Where required and maintainable, work may also include due diligence support and transaction structuring for mergers, acquisitions, demergers, and corporate reorganisations.
Where disputes arise from shareholder arrangements, joint ventures, supply/distribution contracts, or other business transactions, proceedings may be undertaken before competent courts, commercial courts, and tribunals, as applicable. Representation may also extend to matters before the National Company Law Tribunal, including company law disputes, oppression and mismanagement matters, and insolvency-related proceedings, subject to statutory framework, jurisdiction, and maintainability. The approach remains focused on legal robustness, procedural discipline, and lawful resolution of commercial issues.

Commercial Disputes
Commercial disputes generally arise from business contracts, transactions, and trade relationships. Whether such a dispute proceeds under the Commercial Courts framework. or before an ordinary civil court depends upon the statutory definition of a “commercial dispute”, the specified value threshold, territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction, and other maintainability requirements under applicable law. Where the Commercial Courts regime applies, proceedings are conducted under the procedure prescribed for commercial disputes, including the relevant amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure and allied requirements. Where it does not apply, the dispute is ordinarily tried under the regular civil jurisdiction and procedure, as applicable.
Professional work under this head may include assessment of the contractual and documentary record; identification of the appropriate forum and remedy; drafting, settling, and filing of pleadings (including plaints, written statements, replications, affidavits, and applications) and applications for interim relief where maintainable; preparation and presentation of documentary record; evidence planning and witness-related steps where applicable; and written/oral submissions at hearings.
