Civil Litigation
Most disputes in Mumbai eventually touch property or a contract, and both reward a firm that understands real estate as well as procedure. We appear across the civil courts and the High Court on property, specific-performance, injunction, partition and recovery matters — combining a litigator's rigour with the commercial judgement to know when to fight and when to settle.

Frequently asked questions
Often, yes. Where you face immediate harm — a threatened sale, dispossession or breach — the court can grant an interim injunction to preserve the position while the suit is decided. Speed and a well-prepared application matter.
It depends on your contract and objectives. If there is an arbitration clause, arbitration may be faster and private; if not, the civil courts are the forum. We advise on the best route before filing.
