Criminal Law
Our offices have been handling criminal litigations and defense for more than 50 years.
The Constitution of our country has bestowed upon every individual the right to defend himself against allegations of committing any offense under the Indian Penal Laws.
Over the years we have successfully defended clients in cases of crimes against the person, sexual offenses, crimes against property, medico-legal cases, corruption in public servants, narcotic drugs-related offenses, white-collar crimes of cheating including fraud and forgery.
Our track record speaks volumes of the involvement we take in attention to detail to ensure the victory of justice.
Mediation
Mediation is a process wherein the parties meet with a mutually selected impartial and neutral person who assists them in the negotiation of their differences.
Our mediation practice aims to act as a catalyst between opposing interests attempting to bring them together by defining issues and eliminating obstacles to communication while moderating and guiding the process to avoid confrontation and ill will between the parties.
Personal Laws
We advise our clients with effective strategies for estate planning, family constitutions, restructuring family businesses, creation of wills, trusts.
We understand the sensitivities and emotions that run along with such planning and help our clients come to the best possible and rational solutions in planning their estate.
Arbitration
Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a way to resolve disputes outside the judiciary courts.
In Arbitration, a dispute is submitted, by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court.
Its principal characteristics are:
- Arbitration is consensual
Arbitration can only take place if both parties have agreed to it. In the case of future disputes arising under a contract, the parties insert an arbitration clause in the relevant contract. An existing dispute can be referred to arbitration by means of a submission agreement between the parties. In contrast to mediation, a party cannot unilaterally withdraw from arbitration.
- The parties choose the arbitrator(s)
The parties can select a sole arbitrator together. If they choose to have a three-member arbitral tribunal, each party appoints one of the arbitrators; those two persons then agree on the presiding arbitrator. Alternatively, our offices can suggest potential arbitrators with relevant expertise from the panel of Arbitrators appointed by the High Court.
- Arbitration is neutral
In addition to their selection of neutrals of appropriate nationality, parties can choose such important elements as the applicable law, language, and venue of the arbitration. This allows them to ensure that no party enjoys a home-court advantage.
- Arbitration is a confidential procedure
- The decision of the arbitral tribunal is final and easy to enforce
International awards are enforced by national courts under the New York Convention, which permits them to be set aside only in very limited circumstances. More than 165 States including India are party to this Convention.
It is a flexible, time-saving, and cost-effective method of resolving a dispute.
Our office is well equipped with the prevalent practices and procedures of both international as well as domestic arbitrations.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names, and images used in commerce. -Source from WIPO
IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.
With the advent of social media and technology, every person today is creating his own brand identity with technology tools. It has become much easier to become a published author or music composer today than it was a few years ago. So also, it is easy for someone to copy the creations of one person and make profits depriving the original author.
Our Intellectual Property Practice will help you protect your intellectual property. If you are the victim of any unauthorized use of your IP, even in that case our offices are qualified to enforce the appropriate legal remedies to ensure and protect your valuable rights.
