About Our Team of Legal Experts
When we take on a mandate, you don't just get a named partner. You get a team that has lived through the NCLT process from both sides. We assign partners based on the specific industry challenge your company is facing, ensuring that the person leading your case has direct, relevant experience in that exact sector, whether it is banking, infrastructure, or stressed assets.
Our practice is built on the collective experience of our partners, including Aastha, Adity Chaudhury, and Arka Majumdar. We believe that legal strategy is most effective when it is informed by deep, real-world involvement in the insolvency landscape. This is why we prioritize direct partner-led engagement in every matter, from drafting the initial insolvency application to arguing before the NCLT.
Why Our Approach Works
Recognition from industry bodies like The Legal 500, Asialaw, and IFLR1000 serves as a marker of the trust we have built, but our real measure of success is the outcome we secure for our clients. We do not operate as separate silos. When a case involves complex banking, corporate, or financial elements, our restructuring team collaborates internally with our banking and finance practice to ensure our strategy is comprehensive and compliant with evolving regulations.
Building for the Future
We also prioritize the mentorship of our associates. You will often see us welcoming new talent to our Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata offices. By training our team to think like business advisors rather than just legal drafters, we ensure that the quality of our counsel remains consistent regardless of the scale of the case. We aren't just here to fill out forms; we are here to provide the strategic clarity needed to guide companies through financial distress.
