Dispute resolution boutique GSL Chambers was founded by two Advocates on Record (AoRs) and it is an AoR-registered firm. It is headquartered in Delhi, with offices in Indore and Bengaluru. The lawyers represent clients across all forums in India and have experience in various sectors. The team is passionate about the law and serving society, and has a thriving
pro bono practice. It has an impressive client roster of leading names, such as Axis Bank, Bajaj Finserv, HDFC Bank, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly Clark and Tata Housing Services.
Co-founding partners Arjun Garg and Abhinav Shrivastava are the main figures handling the firm’s disputes matters.
The team acted for a unitholder in the Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund insolvency, raising issues with respect to rights of unitholders during winding up. The lawyers filed a writ petition on behalf of the client raising the issues with respect to the rights of unitholders in the fund giant’s wind-up. Since the petition raised substantial issues of constitutional importance and was also supplemented with adequate factual material, it was treated as the lead petition by the High Court. This matter is a first-of-its-kind, as never before has any mutual fund scheme been wound up in India. This would settle the Securities Law on the topic of the winding up of mutual fund schemes in India.
In a public interest challenge, the firm represented the petitioner in a case filed against the Union of India before the Supreme Court in relation to the lack of fire safety measures in India. The impact of this litigation would be to have better infrastructure for firefighters and to have more accountability at every level with the introduction of a uniform stringent Fire and Emergency Safety Act by all state governments.
