Litigation and Dispute resolution

Litigation refers to the process of preparing and presenting a case in court. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) includes mediation and arbitration, processes which can take place either independently of the court system or during the course of the in-court litigation process.While litigators seek to resolve conflicts in a court of law, mediators work with parties in private settings, helping them to arrive at mutually agreeable decisions. In mediation, decisions are ultimately made by the parties themselves and are non-binding, with parties free to pursue other avenues of redress if they remain dissatisfied. Mediators handle disputes in areas ranging from divorce and child custody agreements to landlord-tenant conflicts, employment discrimination issues and toxictort liability. Read More

Arbitration, on the other hand, is often regarded as a simplified version of a trial, with less-involved rules of evidence and procedure. In arbitration, decisions are made by the arbitrators and are binding on the parties. Arbitrators often handle disputes involving business-related matters, including labour, construction, real estate, insurance and securities, and often they have expertise in particular areas of contention.

Mergers and Acquisitions

A business may grow over time as the utility of its products and services is recognized. It may also grow through an inorganic process, symbolized by an instantaneous expansion in work force, customers, infrastructure resources and thereby an overall increase in the revenues and profits of the entity. Mergers and acquisitions are manifestations of an inorganic growth process. While mergers can be defined to mean the unification      of two players into a single entity, acquisitions are situations where one player buys out the other to combine the bought entity with itself. It may be in the form      of a purchase, where one business buys another or a management buyout, where the management buys the business from its owners.  Read More

Mergers and acquisitions are used as instruments of momentous growth and are increasingly getting accepted by Indian businesses as a critical      tool of business strategy. They are widely used in a wide array of fields such as information technology, telecommunications, and business process outsourcing as well as in traditional business to gain strength, expand the customer base, cut competition or enter into a new market or product segment. Mergers and acquisitions may be undertaken to access the market through an established brand, to get a market share, to eliminate competition, to reduce tax liabilities or to acquire competence or to set off the accumulated losses of one entity against the profits of other entity.

Our team of experts has handled a series of complex transactions involving mergers and acquisitions and we help our clients with their transactions keeping in view their objective out of such transactions

 

Contracts Drafting & Negotiation

A contract is a legally binding agreement between parties. The document details rights and duties governing an agreement. Though you can create a contract through written or oral agreements, contract drafting typically refers to written contracts. Parties may go through a few drafts and negotiate back and forth before finalizing a contract. The goal when drafting a contract is to create a document that is both legally binding and as close to all parties’ desires as possible, ensuring that the document is concise and clear. Even if you are making a simple agreement, it is usually in your best interest to create a written contract. Although an oral agreement is technically just as enforceable as a written contract, it is much more difficult (and thus costly) to prove that a verbal Read More
