Criminal Defence Family & Matrimonial Civil & Commercial Tribunals & Appellate

Practice Group

Criminal Defence

Criminal

Criminal Lawyer

Defence in Serious & Minor Offences

Criminal charges carry consequences that extend well beyond the courtroom. We provide firm, rights-focused defence at every stage.

What We Handle

Defence in offences under the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita)
FIR quashing petitions under BNSS Section 528
Trial representation before Magistrate and Sessions courts
Appeals against conviction or sentence
Cross-examination and evidentiary strategy under the BSA

Our Approach

We scrutinise the prosecution’s case from the FIR stage onward — procedural lapses, evidentiary gaps, and constitutional safeguards all factor into defence strategy.

Why It Matters

A criminal charge, even if ultimately unsuccessful for the prosecution, can affect your life immediately. Skilled defence from the outset protects your rights and reputation.

Criminal

Bail Matters Lawyer

Anticipatory, Regular & Interim Bail

Time is critical in bail matters. We move quickly to secure relief for clients facing arrest or already in custody.

What We Handle

Anticipatory bail applications (pre-arrest)
Regular bail applications
Interim and default bail
Bail in economic offences, cyber fraud, and other special-statute cases
Bail before Tis Hazari courts and, where required, the Delhi High Court

Our Approach

We prepare bail applications with strong grounds— parity, delay, lack of custodial interrogation need, and case merits — and represent clients at short notice when urgency demands it.

Why It Matters

Delay in seeking bail can mean unnecessary time in custody. Prompt, well-drafted applications matter.

Criminal

NDPS Matters Lawyer

Defence Under the NDPS Act

NDPS cases carry some of the most stringent bail and sentencing provisions in Indian criminal law, making skilled defence essential.

What We Handle

Bail applications in NDPS cases
Trial defence representation
Challenges to search, seizure, and chain-of-custody procedures
Appeals against conviction or sentence

Our Approach

NDPS cases are heavily procedure-driven —compliance with search and seizure protocols is often the deciding factor. We scrutinise every procedural step taken by the investigating agency.

Why It Matters

Given the strict bail thresholds under NDPS law, early and precise legal strategy is critical to securing relief.

Criminal

Cyber Crime Lawyer

Cyber Fraud, Hacking & Online Offences

Cybercrime cases move fast, involve technical evidence, and often carry serious consequences — for both complainants and the accused. We represent clients on both sides of these matters.

What We Handle

Online financial fraud, UPI/banking fraud, and mule account cases
Hacking, data theft, and unauthorised access complaints
Online harassment, cyberstalking, and defamation
Filing and defending against FIRs under cyber crime provisions of the BNS
Coordination with cyber cells and digital evidence handling

Our Approach

Cyber cases hinge on technical evidence — IP logs, transaction trails, device forensics. We work closely with investigating agencies where you’re a complainant, and mount a rigorous defence on procedural and evidentiary grounds where you’re accused.

Why It Matters

Digital evidence can be misread or mishandled. Early, informed legal intervention often determines the outcome.

Practice Group

Family & Matrimonial

Family

Divorce Lawyer

Divorce & Matrimonial Separation, Delhi/NCR

Ending a marriage is one of the most significant legal and personal decisions a person can face. We represent clients in both mutual consent and contested divorce matters, guiding them through the process with clarity, discretion, and a focus on minimising conflict wherever possible.

What We Handle

Mutual Consent Divorce (First & Second Motion) under the applicable marriage laws
Contested Divorce on grounds such as cruelty, desertion, adultery, and irretrievable breakdown of marriage
Divorce by Special Marriage Act, Hindu Marriage Act, and other personal laws
Settlement negotiation and mediation before litigation
Representation before the Family Courts, Tis Hazari and Delhi District Courts

Our Approach

We start by understanding whether an amicable settlement is possible — it’s usually faster, less expensive, and less stressful than contested litigation. Where agreement isn’t possible, we build a firm, well-documented case and represent you through every hearing.

Why It Matters

A poorly handled divorce can affect custody outcomes, financial settlements, and your peace of mind for years. Experienced representation protects your interests from the outset.

Family

Matrimonial Lawyer

Alimony & Marital Disputes

Beyond divorce itself, matrimonial law covers a wide range of disputes between spouses — financial, custodial, and personal. We represent clients across the full spectrum of these matters.

What We Handle

Alimony and permanent maintenance claims (and defence against excessive claims)
Restitution of conjugal rights
Judicial separation
Annulment of marriage (void/voidable marriages)
Section 125 CrPC/BNSS maintenance proceedings

Our Approach

Every matrimonial dispute is different — some need firm litigation, others benefit from structured negotiation. We assess your situation honestly and recommend the path most likely to protect your interests.

Why It Matters

Matrimonial disputes often run alongside custody and financial matters. Coordinated strategy across all fronts avoids contradictions that can weaken your case.

Family

Family Disputes Lawyer

Custody, Inheritance & Domestic Conflicts

Family disputes extend beyond divorce — custody matters, inheritance disagreements, and
domestic conflicts all require careful, sensitive handling.

What We Handle

Child custody and guardianship disputes
Visitation rights and parenting arrangements
Inheritance and family property disputes
Domestic conflict mediation and legal recourse
Guardian and Wards Act proceedings

Our Approach

We prioritise outcomes that protect relationships wherever possible, especially where children are involved, while remaining firm advocates for your legal rights when disputes require litigation.

Why It Matters

Family disputes carry emotional weight beyond the legal stakes. We aim for resolutions that hold up in court and hold together in life.

Family

Domestic Violence Lawyer

Protection Under the Domestic Violence Law

Domestic violence matters require both legal protection and personal sensitivity. We represent both those seeking protection and those defending against allegations.

What We Handle

Protection orders and residence orders
Maintenance claims under domestic violence law
Defence representation against DV complaints
Coordination with Protection Officers and support services

Our Approach

We move quickly to seek protective relief where needed, and provide firm, fair defence representation where allegations are contested.

Why It Matters

Safety and due process both matter. We ensure clients are heard and protected, whichever side of the matter they’re on.

Practice Group

Civil & Commercial

civil

Civil Lawyer

Property, Contract & Civil Disputes

Civil disputes cover a broad range of everyday legal conflicts — property, money, agreements, and rights between private parties.

What We Handle

Property disputes, partition suits, and title matters
Breach of contract and recovery of money suits
Injunctions and specific performance claims
Landlord-tenant and rent disputes
Civil appeals and execution proceedings

Our Approach

We assess the strength of documentary evidence early, since civil matters are won and lost on paper trails, and build a case strategy around it.

Why It Matters

Civil litigation can be prolonged. Clear strategy and realistic expectations from the outset save clients time, cost, and frustration.

Commercial

Cheque Bounce Lawyer

Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act Matters

Cheque dishonour cases are common in business and personal transactions, and carry both civil and criminal consequences.

What We Handle

Filing complaints on behalf of payees after cheque dishonour
Legal notice drafting and service within statutory timelines
Defence representation for accused persons
Settlement negotiation to resolve disputes without prolonged litigation
Trial representation before Magistrate courts

Our Approach

Timelines matter heavily in Section 138 matters — notices, replies, and complaints all have strict windows. We ensure procedural compliance so your case isn’t lost on technicalities.

Why It Matters

A cheque bounce case, handled correctly and promptly, is often resolved faster than clients expect — but errors in timing or drafting can derail even a strong claim.

Commercial

Corporate Lawyer

Business Compliance & Commercial Disputes

Businesses face legal risk across contracts, compliance, and disputes. We provide practical, business-focused legal support.

What We Handle

Contract drafting and review
Regulatory compliance advisory
Commercial dispute resolution
Corporate governance matters
Business-to-business litigation

Our Approach

We aim to prevent disputes through sound documentation and compliance, and to resolve them efficiently when they do arise.

Why It Matters

Legal risk in business often surfaces at the worst possible time. Proactive legal support reduces exposure before problems escalate.

Practice Group

Tribunals & Appellate

Appellate

Supreme Court Matters

Constitutional, Civil & Criminal Appellate Matters

For matters that reach the highest levels of appeal, experienced representation is essential.

What We Handle

Special Leave Petitions (SLPs)
Constitutional matters and writ petitions
Appeals against High Court judgments
Coordination with Supreme Court designated counsel

Our Approach

We prepare thorough appellate briefs grounded in precedent, working alongside Supreme Court advocates-on-record as needed to present the strongest possible case.

Why It Matters

Appellate litigation demands precision — cases are often decided on legal argument alone, without fresh evidence. Careful preparation is critical.

Tribunal

CAT Matters

Central Administrative Tribunal Representation

Government employees facing service disputes have a specific forum — the Central Administrative Tribunal — with its own procedures.

What We Handle

Service disputes: promotions, transfers, disciplinary action
Pension and retirement benefit claims
Departmental inquiry representation
Appeals against adverse administrative orders

Our Approach

Administrative disputes often have strict limitation periods. Timely action preserves your right to relief.

Why It Matters

Administrative disputes often have strict limitation periods. Timely action preserves your right to relief.

Tribunal

Debt Recovery Tribunal

Loan Recovery & Financial Disputes

Debt Recovery Tribunals handle disputes between banks/financial institutions and borrowers over unpaid loans and defaults.

What We Handle

Representation for borrowers facing recovery proceedings
Representation for lenders seeking recovery
SARFAESI Act matters
Settlement negotiation and restructuring

Our Approach

We assess the underlying loan documentation and default circumstances closely, since DRT matters often turn on procedural compliance by the lending institution.
