We have secured more than 400 reported judgments in the High Court of Karnataka, along with notable appearances in the Supreme Court of India. Our trial court presence is extensive, and we possess in-depth expertise across a wide range of civil law domains.

Documentation and contracts form the backbone of every successful business transaction. Having well-drafted, airtight agreements in place is essential to ensure smooth operations, prevent disputes, and mitigate legal risks. Robust contractual frameworks not only protect your interests but also minimize exposure to liability when unforeseen issues arise. Our firm offers specialized expertise in contract drafting, vetting, and lifecycle management. We understand that the strength of contractual terms can often determine the outcome of legal disputes, especially in suits for specific performance—a reality we know well as a litigation-focused firm. Our team of legal experts provides comprehensive support, whether you need assistance reviewing existing contracts, drafting new agreements, or managing the entire contract lifecycle. We bring both preventive foresight and litigation insight to every agreement, ensuring your business is protected at every stage.
Due diligence is critical when entering into any transaction involving property. Our firm assists clients in making informed decisions on whether to invest in a property or engage in joint ventures or joint development agreements. We provide end-to-end legal support by drafting and reviewing Sale Agreements, Sale Deeds, Joint Venture Agreements, and Joint Development Agreements. In addition, we specialize in the drafting and vetting of commercial lease agreements to ensure our clients enjoy uninterrupted possession and enforceable rights—whether the property involves factories, production facilities, or mining sites. Every lease we handle is meticulously structured to be watertight, minimizing the risk of future disputes and safeguarding our clients from unwarranted litigation.
Our firm possesses significant expertise in Arbitration, Mediation, Conciliation, and other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), whether arising from contractual obligations or otherwise. We are recognized as a trusted name in the Indian legal landscape for providing effective and result-oriented ADR services. Our office is equipped with a dedicated conference room that functions as an Arbitration Hall, allowing us to conduct proceedings in a professional and efficient environment.
We assist clients from a wide range of sectors—including Oil and Gas, Power, Mining, Construction and Infrastructure, Real Estate, Entertainment and Media, Banking and Finance, Insurance and Reinsurance, International Investments, Intellectual Property, Information Technology, and Telecommunications—in resolving disputes through ADR mechanisms.
Our experience spans both domestic and international arbitration, as well as other ADR processes such as mediation and conciliation. Our attorneys have served as both counsel and arbitrators in high-stakes matters, offering strategic advice and comprehensive support aimed at achieving favorable outcomes. With a dedicated team of legal professionals possessing deep sector-specific knowledge, we are well-equipped to manage complex arbitration cases both within India and internationally.
We offer comprehensive corporate compliance and transaction advisory services to companies incorporated both within India and internationally. Our expertise lies not only in revitalizing existing compliance frameworks but also in developing robust, tailored mechanisms that enhance legal compliance while minimizing risk and exposure. Our transaction advisory practice ensures that all corporate dealings adhere strictly to applicable legal frameworks, including the Companies Act, SEBI regulations, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), FEMA, FERA, Competition Law, and other state, national, and sector-specific compliance requirements.
Our firm offers a comprehensive range of services in the area of Intellectual Property (IP) Rights, providing end-to-end legal solutions from registration to enforcement. We assist clients right from the stage of applying for IP protection to enforcing those rights in courts of law. Our services include conducting prior art and patentability searches, filing patent applications in India and abroad, responding to objections, liaising with the Registrar of Patents, and ensuring timely certification for all categories of patents.
In addition to patents, we offer complete support for the registration of copyrights, including artistic works, literary creations, and software. Our trademark services ensure smooth and prompt registration with the relevant authorities, helping you safeguard your brand identity and gain a competitive edge in the market.
Beyond registrations, we take a proactive role in protecting your IP assets. We review what we refer to as your “exposure documents” to ensure that sensitive intellectual property is shared strictly on a need-to-know basis and is adequately protected through confidentiality and non-compete agreements. Importantly, our commitment extends well beyond the registration phase—we represent clients in enforcement actions, including drafting and filing suits for infringement, seeking injunctions, handling impounding and destruction proceedings, and pursuing damages in cases of IP violations. Our approach is strategic, practical, and tailored to safeguard the full lifecycle of your intellectual property.
