Corporate Law & Commercial Litigation

In today’s complex business environment, companies face legal challenges that span corporate governance, contractual disputes, regulatory enforcement, and data privacy  often simultaneously. We serve domestic companies, multinational corporations, financial institutions, insolvency professionals, promoters, and senior executives across industries, offering integrated support from transaction structuring, contract drafting, tribunal advocacy and dispute resolution.

Agreement Drafting, Negotiations & Documentation
We draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements including shareholders’ agreements, joint venture contracts, supply and distribution arrangements, service agreements, licensing and technology transfer agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and employment contracts. Our drafting prioritizes legal precision, commercial clarity, and enforceability, while anticipating and mitigating future disputes.

Legal Notices
A well-crafted legal notice is often the most decisive step in dispute resolution and frequently prompts resolution without the need for protracted litigation. At SBC Legal LLP, we issue legal notices on behalf of our clients across the following matters:

  1. Demand notices under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 in matters of dishonour of cheque;
  2. Notices for breach of contract, vendor disputes, termination of agreements, and recovery of outstanding dues;
  3. Notices invoking arbitration under the dispute resolution clause of the underlying contract, prior to the formal constitution of arbitral proceedings;
  4. Cease and desist notices in matters involving intellectual property infringement, defamation, and breach of confidentiality obligations — issued as a matter of urgency to prevent continuing or irreparable harm; and
  5. Notices in employment matters, including wrongful termination, non-payment of dues, and non-compete or non-solicitation violations, as well as in tenancy disputes involving eviction, rent recovery, and lease breaches.
  6. Notices under IBC.

We also assist clients in reviewing and responding to legal notices ensuring that the reply is calibrated to the client’s broader dispute resolution strategy.
