Working with us

1. The first consultation. Book a meeting online, call or write to us. A consultation can be in person in Gurugram, New Delhi or Chandigarh, or by video or phone. Bring or send the papers you have, and we will tell you what else is needed.
2. Checking for conflicts. Before we advise, we confirm that we do not act for anyone on the other side. If we do, we tell you and step aside.
3. Scope and fees in writing. If you engage us, we set out in writing what we will do, who will do it and what it will cost, before the work begins.
4. A partner and a team. A partner leads the matter, with associates who know the file. You have their names and a way to reach them.
5. Updates after every step. After each hearing, filing or meeting you hear from us: what happened, what comes next and what we need from you.
6. Your papers. Documents are kept confidential, and returned or retained as you instruct when the matter ends.

Confidentiality

Communications between a client and an advocate are protected by law under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, as they were under the Indian Evidence Act before it. We extend the same care to everything else you share with us, including documents, financial information and family details.

Clients outside India

Most matters can be run without you travelling to India. Our International page explains how papers are signed abroad, how consultations are arranged across time zones and how we report to you.

Questions clients ask

Do I need to come to the office?

No. Most first consultations, and many matters, can be handled by video and phone, with papers signed and sent where needed. Some court appearances and signings need you in person; we tell you which ones well in advance.

Can you tell me the fee at the first meeting?

Usually we can give a fee, or a range, once we have seen the papers and understood what you need. It is confirmed in writing before work begins.

What should I bring to the first consultation?

Any notice, FIR, order, agreement, correspondence or other paper connected with the matter, and a short note of the dates and events in order. If you are unsure whether something matters, bring it.

Will the same lawyers handle my case throughout?

Yes. The partner who takes on your matter stays answerable for it, and the team working with them stays with it.
