Types of matters the firm handles

Indian advocates may not publish case studies naming clients or stating outcomes. The list below therefore describes the work itself — what is actually done in each kind of matter — which is the accurate substitute for a case-study page.

Buying or selling property in Chennai

Title verification through the registered chain of documents, encumbrance checks, drafting of sale agreements and sale deeds, stamp duty assessment under the Tamil Nadu schedule, and registration at the relevant sub-registrar office.

Setting up an Indian company or subsidiary

Choice of structure, name reservation, incorporation with the Registrar of Companies, Chennai, PAN, TAN and GST registrations, and the first-year statutory filings and board records.

Protecting a brand

Trade mark search, classification and filing, replies to examination reports, opposition and hearing work at the Trade Marks Registry, Chennai, and copyright and design filings where relevant.

Recovering unpaid business dues

Demand notices, assessment of whether a commercial suit, arbitration or an insolvency application before the NCLT Chennai Bench is the right route, and conduct of the chosen proceeding.

Cross-border contracts and NRI matters

Governing law and seat-of-arbitration review for international contracts, powers of attorney for NRIs, and property, succession and family matters in Tamil Nadu run remotely for clients abroad.

Family and personal law

Divorce, maintenance, custody, guardianship, wills, partition and succession work before the Family Courts and civil courts in Chennai.

Motor accident compensation

Claims before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunals under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, including evidence gathering, computation of dependency and insurer negotiations.

Commercial disputes and arbitration

Commercial suits, writ petitions and appeals before the Madras High Court and the City Civil Court, arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and pre-institution mediation where required.

Pricing and how fees are set

Written scope before work begins

After the first consultation, the work to be done, the forum, the likely timeline and the fee basis are confirmed in writing. There is no open-ended billing.

Fixed fees for defined tasks

Registrations, incorporations, trade mark filings, agreements, notices and written opinions are quoted as a fixed fee for the defined task.

Staged or hourly fees for contested work

Litigation, arbitration and negotiated transactions are charged in stages or by time, agreed in advance, because the volume of work depends on how the other side proceeds.

Government charges are separate

Court fees, stamp duty, registration charges, registry and filing fees are payable to the authority concerned and are estimated for you in advance; they are not part of the professional fee.

Why no price list is published

A fee depends on the documents, the forum and the complexity of the matter, so a published figure would be misleading. Call the office and you will be given a quote for your specific matter.
