Areas of Practice

Advocult India advises and represents clients across the principal branches of law, and its work falls into three broad groups. The first is disputes, in which the Firm appears for clients before courts, tribunals and arbitral bodies. The second is transactions, in which it structures, negotiates and documents commercial arrangements. The third is advisory and regulatory work, in which it guides clients through the laws, and the authorities, that govern their affairs.

Industries we serve

Advice shaped by the industry you work in.

The affairs of a client are shaped by the industry in which it works, and the Firm advises businesses and institutions in sectors that include the following. The list describes subject matter on which the Firm advises. It does not indicate any association with a named client.

Most matters touch more than one area of law.

A single matter often draws on several practices at once. The Firm brings them together in one team, so the advice you receive is joined up rather than split across desks. A few common examples:

A dispute between shareholders

Company law questions, a petition before the NCLT and, often, a settlement agreement.

Corporate and Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Inherited family property

Succession and partition among heirs, along with title, registration and possession of the property.
