The aforementioned examples are some of the recent instances where the lawyers of our firm have successfully obtained relief for our clients. This list is by no means exhaustive.

Towards the non-contentious side of things, the firm has been engaged by various businesses to come up with creative solutions to the problems being faced by them either in relation to a regulatory agency or an unrelated third party with whom they are entering into an agreement.

A snapshot of our experience in this regard can be summarized as follows:

• In matters relating to labour disputes, we have successfully negotiated with the representatives of the labour unions to settle their grievances, prolongment of which was causing severe financial distress to the client.
• In matters relating to the disputes arising out of commercial contracts, shareholder agreements, employment contracts and managerial disputes; with the other parties on behalf of our client to reach a settlement that is acceptable to all stakeholders.
• In matters relating to the recovery of outstanding sums; with the creditors to successfully renegotiate the terms of payment and with the debtors to ensure that the other party deposits suitable security to guarantee their payments at a later date.
