Our Expertise: 3 Core Areas
Insolvency and Bankruptcy
This involves insolvency and bankruptcy of debtor companies and their promoters, who fail to pay their financial and operating debts in time. Their creditors may take the company to Court to have it declared bankrupt, eventually resulting in suspension of the current management and the handing over of the business to new bidders who buy out the business, bringing in new management.
We represent:
- such creditors fighting for their dues; or
- the defaulting corporate debtor; or
- the bidders who buy out such distressed businesses.
We also provide advisory services to such bidders for investing in, and taking over, such distressed businesses and its assets.
Economic Offences and Tax Disputes
These cases involve fighting against specialised Government agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), and Tax Authorities, dealing with economic offences and tax evasion allegations, with heavy stakes involving attachment of property, arrest and criminal prosecution, and enforcement of recovery proceedings for huge tax demands.
The common feature in all these cases is that on the other side is always some enforcement agency representing the Government, with an economic offence or tax evasion charge. Through years of practice, we have developed expertise in these specialised laws represented by Government.
Corporate and Commercial Disputes
We take up cases involving corporate disputes raised by minority shareholders, investors, or partners regarding corporate governance and mismanagement in a company. Similarly, we take up matters of commercial disputes raised by vendors, or disputes in performance of contracts with Government, PSUs and large corporate clients, by way of arbitration, mediation, and proceedings before commercial courts.
We also advise and negotiate such internal dispute matters with different stakeholders through out-of-Court settlements and arrive at an amicable dispute resolution.

How We Do...
Every matter moves through 4D Approach before it reaches a courtroom.
We gather and mark every fact of the case and compile all documents and evidence — whether they support us or run against us. Resisting or ignoring adverse facts is never a solution; we find a way through them.
We map every available defence — both factual, built on the evidence from FMT, and purely legal, drawn from jurisdictional and technical points — and compile the judicial precedents that support each.
We articulate our submissions for the adjudicating authority or court — a blend of science and art, debated in-house and revised against every counter-objection before it is finalised and filed.
Before the hearing, we anticipate how it will unfold before the Court: how to open, what to press first, what the bench will ask, what the other side will raise. We demonstrate the case so that the Court reaches our conclusion on its own.

Why Choose Us...
A perfect blend of law and finance, with a team of lawyers, Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries, duly qualified and capable of understanding finance and the commercial domain of varied industries, to pull out all defences for business clients, based on facts as well as on purely legal and jurisdictional issues.
The executing team is guided and coached by very senior mentors who are available round the clock to direct the team in all complex assignments with heavy stakes.
Most suitable for high-demand and high-stake matters. We take up assignments where businesses themselves are threatened by actions involving attachment of business properties, take-over threats of management, and criminal actions — we call them war. Again, there are matters where, though the existence of the business may not be at stake, the financial repercussions are huge — we call them battles.
We deal in complex litigation, which demands expertise in financial and business understanding of the clients, so we have a written, well-defined process which we call the 4D Approach, designed in-house into FMT–DMT–PMT–AMT.
A highly transparent system that reports to clients on each stage of litigation and professionally assists them in compiling all relevant facts and evidence, needed to place an effective protest against opposing parties.
Written flow charts for all assignments, training videos and recorded conferences with clients, to ensure consistency throughout the lifecycle of an assignment and portability of team members.
With long experience in Risk Advisory & Compliance, we understand the business processes and internal controls and are able to provide effective advice and support to business clients.
