Legal Advisory and Representation Services

Insolvency matters under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 routinely give rise to legal questions and disputes that must be argued before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), and, in certain matters, the higher courts. These range from admission and rejection of insolvency applications, disputes over claim admission, challenges to resolution plans and CoC decisions, to appeals against orders passed at various stages of the process. Legal advisory and representation services provide creditors, corporate debtors, resolution professionals, and resolution applicants with the litigation support and strategic legal counsel needed to protect their position in these proceedings.

Why This Matters

Outcomes before the NCLT and NCLAT can materially alter recoveries, control over the corporate debtor, and the viability of a resolution plan, making competent legal representation essential rather than optional. Given the volume of evolving case law shaping the interpretation of the Code, parties who are inadequately represented risk losing procedural rights, missing appeal timelines, or facing adverse orders that could otherwise have been avoided with sound legal strategy.

How We Help

Advisory on Insolvency Applications and Admission

We advise financial and operational creditors, as well as corporate debtors, on the merits of filing or defending an insolvency application, including the evidentiary requirements for admission under the relevant provisions of the Code.

Representation Before the NCLT and NCLAT

We represent clients in proceedings before the NCLT and NCLAT on matters including claim disputes, resolution plan approvals, avoidance transaction applications, and other interlocutory or final matters arising during CIRP or liquidation.

Appeals and Higher Court Matters

Where a matter warrants further appeal, we assist in preparing and pursuing appeals to the appropriate appellate forum, coordinating with senior counsel as required for matters reaching the higher courts.

Strategic Legal Counsel Throughout the Process

Beyond active litigation, we provide ongoing legal counsel to help clients anticipate disputes before they arise, structure their actions to withstand later challenge, and make informed decisions at each stage of the insolvency process.

Who Needs This

• Financial and operational creditors involved in contested insolvency matters
• Corporate debtors and promoters defending against or navigating insolvency proceedings
• Resolution professionals and liquidators requiring legal support for tribunal applications
• Resolution applicants facing disputes over plan approval or implementation

Our Approach

We combine deep familiarity with the Code and its evolving judicial interpretation with a practical understanding of how matters actually proceed before the NCLT and NCLAT. Our legal advisory work is oriented toward achieving commercially sound outcomes, not litigation for its own sake, and we work closely with clients to assess the merits, costs, and timelines of any dispute before deciding on a course of action.
