The practice
Three limbs, one standard of work
Advisory
Opinions, structuring and transaction documents across corporate, capital markets, banking, insolvency, technology and projects work, written from the statute, the rules and the regulator’s own circulars.
Arbitration
Institutional and ad hoc references under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, from the notice of dispute through pleadings, evidence and award, and the challenge and enforcement proceedings that follow.
Litigation
Appearances before the High Courts, the National Company Law Tribunal, the Debts Recovery Tribunal, RERA authorities and the civil and commercial courts, in matters arising from the practice areas above.
Instructed from outside India
The law is Indian; the client need not be
United States · United Kingdom · Gulf
Capital coming into India
A business incorporated outside India that intends to manufacture, acquire, lend or hold here has to choose a vehicle, an investment route and a set of filings before it commits. The questions are the entry vehicle under the foreign exchange rules, the sectoral position under the Consolidated FDI Policy, and the reporting, tax and labour obligations that follow the money in.
Ministries · Regulators · Industry bodies
Governments and regulators
Draft rules, consultation papers and Bills are settled before they bind anyone. Work at that stage is the drafting of representations and comments, the analysis that supports them, and submissions to the committees and authorities that receive them, made on the record, on instructions, in the name of the party making them.
Non-residents · Overseas citizens
Indians outside India
Property held in India, succession across two legal systems, a power of attorney executed abroad, residence and its tax consequences, and proceedings between family members where one of them lives elsewhere. The law that governs each of these is Indian; the person it governs is not here.
Vision
To be the practice the world instructs on Indian law, whether the question comes from a board, a ministry or a family.
Mission
We read the statute before we read the summary; we write so that a board in another time zone can act on what we send without a second call; and we state what Indian law does not allow as plainly as what it does.
How the work is done
Four things that do not change
The primary source, every time
Every note, opinion and pleading is written from the bare Act, the rules, the notification and the judgment as reported. Secondary commentary is read after, never instead.
Written to be acted on
Advice arrives as a position, the reasoning behind it and the step that follows. A board should be able to take a decision from the first page.
The whole map, not the part that suits
Where a route is closed, weak or contested, we say so at the outset, with the provision that closes it and the risk that remains.
One standard across the file
The advisory note, the arbitration brief and the plaint are held to the same standard of research, drafting and record-keeping, whatever the forum. The note that goes to a board in London is written to the same standard as the one that goes to a board in Bengaluru.
Latest notes
What changed, and what it costs
The DPDP Rules are notified, and almost nothing in them binds until 13 May 2027
The Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 were notified on 13 November 2025 as G.S.R. 846(E). Rules 1, 2 and 17 to 21 came into force that day, and they are the machinery of the Data Protection Board rather than anything a company must do. Rule 4, on consent managers, starts on 13 November 2026. Everything a data fiduciary has to build, the notice, the security measures, breach reporting, erasure and the rights machinery, starts on 13 May 2027, and sections 3 to 17 of the Act start on the same day. The regulator exists now. The duties do not.
Eighteen months from 13 November 2025, so 13 May 2027, is the single date on which sections 3 to 17 of the Act and rules 3 and 5 to 16 of the Rules come into force together, while the Data Protection Board itself has been in existence since 13 November 2025 under G.S.R. 844(E).
Semicon 2.0: the gates are revenue, ownership and technology you already hold, not the capital you propose to spend
Semicon 2.0, notified on 31 August 2026, cut fiscal support for a silicon wafer fab to 40 per cent of eligible capital expenditure from the up to 50 per cent the first programme carried. The percentage is the least of it. An applicant for that pillar must already show minimum capital investment of INR 20,000 crore, revenue of INR 7,500 crore in any of the three financial years before it applies, and production grade technology it owns or licenses. The design pillar adds a condition on who owns and controls the applicant.
A silicon wafer fab draws fiscal support of 40 per cent of eligible capital expenditure on a pari passu basis, but only above a minimum capital investment of INR 20,000 crore and minimum revenue of INR 7,500 crore, including group companies and joint ventures, in any of the three financial years preceding the application.
Criminal and Sensitive Litigation in India: Bail, Economic Offences and the New Codes
Bail and anticipatory bail, economic offences, cybercrime, corporate criminal liability, and the new BNS/BNSS/BSA framework: the statutes that apply, the standards courts weigh, and how each domain of India's criminal justice system is approached.
The monthly note
One change in Indian law, with the working and the sources
Sent to professional contacts of the firm who ask for it. No fee information, no case results, and nothing sent to anyone who has not asked.
