The dispute resolution group at Economic Laws Practice excels in competition, international arbitration, regulatory and tax work. Its white-collar crimes practice is maturing and the team has seen increasing work in this space. These practices are regarded as some of the best in the country, with many peers and clients affirming their dominance in these areas. The team is proud of its in-house advocacy capabilities, which enable its lawyers to provide to clients with a holistic review of all relevant matters in a dispute. In the past year, the team has been active in multiple shareholder, and oppression and mismanagement disputes, as well as handling large private client and intellectual property disputes.
Multiple senior lawyers are focused purely on litigation, arbitration and dispute resolution, including partners Naresh Thacker, Jitendra Motwani, Dinesh Pednekar, Mumtaz Bhalla, Shailesh Poria and Abhay Chattopadhyay.
The team recently represented the Cricket Club of India in a shareholder dispute pertaining to the requisition of an extraordinary general meeting of the company. The dispute called into question the interpretation of a section of the Companies Act, whether the company in receipt of a notice calling for an EGM has the right in law to verify the signatures appended to the said notice to determine the validity of the notice.
