ThinkLaw’s dispute resolution practice is centred on complex commercial disagreements that span litigation, arbitration, insolvency, regulatory proceedings and investigations. From its Mumbai base, the team regularly appears before the Supreme Court of India, multiple High Courts, and specialist tribunals, including the National Company Law Tribunal, Securities Appellate Tribunal and other sector‑specific fora.
The practice has continued to see steady activity over the past year, with a notable volume of shareholder and promoter‑related disputes before the NCLT, including oppression and mismanagement proceedings arising from breakdowns in family‑owned and closely held businesses. The team is also active in insolvency and enforcement proceedings involving stressed companies and lenders, representing stakeholders in insolvency resolution processes and related appellate work before the NCLAT and High Courts, as reflected in its regular engagement with company law forums in Mumbai and other jurisdictions.
Regulatory and securities litigation forms another important strand of the practice. Following the induction of Ragini Singh last year, the firm has handled disputes and enforcement‑related matters before SEBI‑linked bodies and the Securities Appellate Tribunal, acting for listed entities, intermediaries and market participants in proceedings involving alleged regulatory breaches and market conduct issues.
The team also remains active in both domestic and international arbitration, including disputes arising out of infrastructure, real estate and shareholder agreements, as well as cross‑border contractual arrangements governed by Indian law but seated overseas. Its arbitration work frequently runs alongside court proceedings under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, including applications relating to interim relief, appointment of tribunals and enforcement issues before Indian courts, aligning with prevailing jurisprudence from the Bombay High Court and Supreme Court on arbitral procedure.
White‑collar and investigation‑related work continues to form a meaningful component of the caseload. The practice advises on fraud allegations, economic offences and regulatory investigations, including matters involving digital evidence, forensic review and technology‑driven disputes. This capability dovetails with the firm’s technology and data practice, supporting contentious mandates linked to employee misconduct, data misuse, intellectual property and technology‑enabled commercial arrangements.
The practice is led by founder and managing partner Tushar Ajinkya, who remains closely involved in headline disputes and strategy. His work covers commercial litigation, insolvency and restructuring, shareholder disputes and arbitration, and he is frequently engaged at the pre‑litigation stage to shape dispute architecture and risk allocation. Supporting him is a growing bench of partners and senior lawyers, including Ragini Singh, who joined the firm in 2025 and brings a focus on securities litigation and regulatory proceedings before SEBI‑related bodies and appellate forums.
