Comprehensive litigation services for commercial disputes between Indian businesses form the backbone of what we deliver. Our experienced legal team specializes in complex B2B commercial litigation cases, providing strategic legal representation for contract breaches, payment defaults, and partnership conflicts across major Indian business centres.
India’s commercial landscape presents unique challenges for businesses navigating disputes. With over 50.2 million cases pending across courts and the Commercial Courts Act 2015 reshaping how business disputes are resolved, professional legal guidance has never been more critical. Litigation in the context of business-to-business interactions refers to the formal legal process of resolving disputes between companies through the court system.
Expert litigation services ensure business continuity while protecting your commercial interests throughout the dispute resolution process.
We handle breach of contract cases, supplier agreements, and distribution disputes for Indian businesses operating under the Commercial Courts Act. The most frequent cause of B2B litigation is breach of contract, occurring when one party fails to fulfill obligations under a contract. Most contract disputes arise from poor contract management, vague terms, and missing dispute resolution playbooks, leading to financial risks and potential litigation. Our team helps you understand these issues and develop strategic remedies.
We represent companies in shareholder disputes, merger conflicts, and corporate governance issues under Indian corporate law. Whether dealing with partnership dissolution, profit-sharing conflicts, or complex mergers and acquisitions frictions, our counsel provides guidance through every step of the process.
We evaluate dispute merits under Indian commercial law and assess potential outcomes. This includes determining whether your dispute qualifies under the Commercial Courts Act, checking pecuniary jurisdiction thresholds, and preparing comprehensive documentation. Maintaining thorough documentation is crucial for establishing facts quickly if a dispute arises in B2B transactions. Our team will explain your position and confirm the best path forward.
We attempt settlement through strategic negotiations and alternative dispute resolution methods. Under Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act, pre-institution mediation is mandatory for most commercial disputes unless urgent interim relief is sought. The inclusion of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) clauses in contracts can provide faster, more private, and less expensive methods to resolve disputes compared to court proceedings. The dispute resolution toolbox includes litigation, arbitration, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), each with its own advantages depending on the situation.
We file cases in appropriate Indian courts including Commercial Courts, High Courts, and the Supreme Court when necessary. A typical B2B lawsuit progresses through three primary stages: the pleading stage, the discovery stage, and the trial stage. The discovery phase is often the longest, involving the exchange of relevant documents and depositions. The litigation process in B2B collections typically involves filing a complaint, serving the other party, and going through a discovery phase where evidence is shared between parties. In B2B litigation, if the other party does not respond to the lawsuit, the plaintiff can obtain a default judgment, which is a court order in favour of the plaintiff due to the defendant’s failure to respond.
We provide regular updates and strategic guidance throughout litigation proceedings. Operational disruption can occur as key employees are required to divert time from daily tasks to attend depositions and gather documentation—our team handles as much of this burden as possible, allowing you to focus on business growth and development.

If a commercial suit under the Commercial Courts Act is filed and conducted properly without appeal, the expected timeline is 12-18 months. Other suits without Special Commercial Court jurisdiction, or which involve appeals and multiple interlocutory applications, may extend to 3-7 years. IP suits involving interim injunctions or technical evidence may take 2-5 years depending on complexity. The choice between litigation and arbitration in B2B disputes can significantly affect the cost and duration of the dispute resolution process, with arbitration often being perceived as faster but potentially more expensive depending on the setup.
Basic commercial litigation can cost ₹3 lakh to ₹20 lakh depending on claim value, court fees, and number of hearings. Arbitration for ₹1 crore claims may cost ₹30-40 lakh or more including fees of counsel, arbitrators, and administrative costs. One-sided liability and indemnification clauses can drain resources; balanced clauses that cap damages and exclude indirect damages are recommended to mitigate risks. We offer transparent fee structures and discuss cost-benefit analysis before proceeding with any case.
Yes. Pre-litigation mediation under Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act is mandatory for most commercial disputes, except when urgent interim relief is sought. Non-arbitration forms of ADR, such as mediation and informal negotiations, do not result in a legally binding determination and require enforcement from scratch unless specific conventions apply. Arbitration is unique in that it can pull the final legally binding determination of the merits away from the jurisdiction of courts, making it a preferred method in many cases. The WIPO Mediation and Arbitration Rules are designed to be flexible and suitable for disputes related to data processing, reflecting the growing importance of data in business-to-business contexts. We provide assistance in selecting the venue and process best suited to your situation.
