Dispute Resolution

Dispute resolution is rarely confined to what happens inside a courtroom or an arbitral tribunal — the outcome of most disputes is shaped long before the first hearing, in the way a matter is assessed, strategised, and prepared. At Ashvik Legal, the dispute resolution practice is built around this understanding. The firm’s advocates work across the full spectrum of contentious matters, including civil and commercial litigation, arbitration, debt recovery, and insolvency proceedings, appearing before forums ranging from District Courts and Debt Recovery Tribunals to the High Courts of Delhi and Gauhati, the NCLT and NCLAT, and the Supreme Court of India. This breadth allows the firm to handle disputes at every stage and in every forum a client’s matter might require, without the delays or disconnects that come from bringing in separate counsel for each level of litigation.

A significant part of the practice involves representing banks, non-banking financial institutions, and public sector undertakings in debt recovery and insolvency-related disputes, alongside corporate and private clients facing commercial disagreements, contractual breaches, and regulatory disputes. The firm’s dual presence in Delhi and Guwahati also means it regularly handles disputes involving government departments and public sector entities across two distinct jurisdictions, giving it a practical understanding of how institutional litigation actually proceeds, from the procedural expectations of specific tribunals to the realistic timelines involved in enforcement and recovery.

Ashvik Legal’s approach to dispute resolution is deliberately direct: advocates remain closely involved with each matter from the outset, assessing the merits honestly rather than pursuing litigation for its own sake. The firm places particular emphasis on evaluating whether a dispute is better resolved through negotiation, arbitration, or formal litigation, and builds its strategy accordingly, rather than defaulting to the courtroom in every instance. This client-centred, outcome-focused approach is meant to give clients a clear-eyed view of their prospects, the likely costs and timelines involved, and the most efficient route to resolving the matter, consistent with the firm’s broader commitment to commercially sound, solution-oriented legal advice.
