Corporate Litigation is the practice of taking a case to any court to resolve a dispute or charge someone with a crime. More often than not, every business owner makes sure that their business remains compliant and they do not have to go for court proceedings. However, some circumstances take ugly shape and the company and its management are summoned by the court to be present there or on the flip side, we move to the court for our rights.
At CCL, our experienced litigation lawyers work in consultation with clients and represent their case and best interests to the court to get the clients a favourable outcome. They also deal with the opposing litigation lawyer, attempting to resolve the dispute and come to an agreement between both parties in favour of their client.
“Our Corporate Litigators are not just Lawyers but also Chartered Accountant or/and Company Secretary, they understand the litigation more precisely and are able to handle every legal problem a corporate may face over the course of its life.”

Drilling the Status Quo of Lengthy Corporate Litigation
Since, the Companies Act, 2013 has taken over, the government has already unveiled a number of measures and mechanism to ensure that the time taken to resolve disputes comes down and it improves the India’s Ease of Doing Business.
To enhance its reputation from being a country where litigation drags on for years. The government has come up with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and notified the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). This way, the Government has aimed at ensuring faster disposal of cases. If you have any cases in NCLT or NCLAT, let our team of experts help you out and take all the worries off your shoulder.

Corporate Litigation: A new normal like COVID-19
Like the Covid-19 has impacted the life by and large and has been becoming a new normal. Same is the case with corporate litigation these days. In corona, the immunity and resilience do wonders and save us. Same way, how a business handles and survives corporate litigation depends entirely on the acumen of the corporate lawyer.
In some litigation cases, the trial lawyers strategize on how to best represent the case within the courts to find a favourable outcome. However, in many other cases, corporate litigation lawyers have to use a mix of court procedures with alternative dispute resolution, negotiation, and settlement to create positive outcomes for clients.
