About Featured
When you review our track record, you see more than just case files. You see complex financial landscapes navigated, from Supreme Court victories to high-stakes insolvency proceedings at the NCLT. Whether we are restructuring debt or managing litigation for institutions like the BCCI and HDFC, our approach remains anchored in practical legal strategy that aligns with your specific business goals.
Our practice at Argus Partners is defined by the depth of our experience in the National Company Law Tribunal and the Supreme Court. We do not operate in a vacuum. We understand that legal challenges like insolvency and debt restructuring are fundamentally business problems that require aggressive and precise intervention.
Why Our Work Stands Out
Our portfolio demonstrates our ability to handle high-stakes matters with clarity and impact. For instance, our successful representation of the BCCI in the Byju's insolvency proceedings and our securing of rent receivables for HDFC in the IL&FS matter highlight our commitment to protecting our clients' rights at the highest levels. We also established key legal precedents, such as the ruling that Compulsorily Convertible Debentures function as debt under the IBC.
Professional Recognition
Our expertise is validated by leading industry bodies. Being recognized by the Chambers and Partners Asia-Pacific Guide as a Band 1 firm, and winning the India Business Law Journal's 2025 Law Firm Award for Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Restructuring, confirms our standing in the market. These awards reflect the trust placed in us by our clients and the efficacy of our team's strategy.
Our Philosophy
We focus on the messy, real-world aspects of law. Our team, led by partners like Adity Chaudhury and Arka Majumdar, ensures that every piece of advice is actionable. We treat insolvency not just as a legal process, but as a critical juncture for a business to recover value or manage failure. When you engage us, you gain access to a team that has navigated the most difficult regulatory environments in India.
