2. Best Lawyer to File Bankruptcies

We assist clients with all procedural steps to file insolvency or bankruptcy petitions, ensure statutory notices, protect interim rights, and respond to creditor challenges.

3. Corporate Restructuring and Insolvency Solicitors

We help companies facing operational or financial stress re-engineer their business. That includes cost restructuring, operational downsizing, debt refinancing, asset sales, stakeholder negotiation and crafting turnaround strategies which may or may not lead into formal insolvency.

Why Our IBC Practice Excels?

Our insolvency and restructuring practice stands out for its depth of legal expertise, strategic foresight, and practical execution. We bring together commercial understanding, regulatory insight, and strong advocacy to manage complex financial distress situations and corporate reorganisations with precision.

1. Deep Regulatory & Tribunal Insight

We maintain strong familiarity with Adjudicating Authorities (NCLT / NCLAT) procedures, resolution plans, liquidation rules and related norms. Knowing timelines, documentation standards and creditor priority rules helps avoid procedural missteps.

2. Commercially Informed Legal Strategy

Our team goes beyond law, we assess viability, cash flows, stakeholder impacts, and alternative turnaround paths. This ensures that legal steps align with business reality and maximise stakeholder value.

3. Experience Across Sectors and Stakeholders

We have advised in sectors such as manufacturing, infrastructure, real estate, financial services, energy, and more on both sides of insolvency: debtor and creditor. This breadth helps us anticipate counter arguments and negotiate from strength.
