Our Approach

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a written agreement for a small transaction?
A written agreement is strongly advisable. It records the terms and makes them easier to prove if a dispute arises.
What is pre-institution mediation?
Under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, parties to a commercial dispute generally must attempt mediation before filing a suit, unless urgent interim relief is being sought. We advise on how this applies to your dispute.
Can you review a contract before I sign it?
Yes. Contract review is one of our regular services. We identify risky clauses, missing protections and unclear terms before you commit.
These answers are general information, not legal advice. Laws, statutory periods and procedures should be checked by an advocate before publication and applied to the facts of each matter.
