Our lawyers regularly appear before trial courts, special PMLA courts, and appellate forums across the country in high stake matters, giving clients an unmatched edge in both legal strategy and courtroom execution.

Our footprint is truly national; with four offices across India, a vast independent associate network, and the ability to deploy 24x7x365 rapid response teams across Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities. This infrastructure enables us to assist clients swiftly in crises, raids, arrests, or enforcement actions anywhere in India. 

We assist clients right from the scene of the crime or first point of contact with enforcement -at the police station, at the time of arrest or seizure  all the way through investigation, summons, trial, appellate proceedings, and up to the Hon’ble Supreme Court. This makes us one of the very few firms equipped to deliver a truly seamless white-collar crime solution across jurisdictions and forums.
