Most commercial relationships work fine until they don’t. A buyer refuses to pay. A supplier fails to deliver. A partner exits and takes clients with them. A joint venture collapses mid-project. What starts as a business disagreement becomes a legal dispute — and the speed, quality, and strategy of your legal response often determines how much you recover.
Adv. Shailendra Singh has spent over two decades handling commercial disputes across a range of industries and transaction types. His experience spans both the courtroom and the negotiating table — which gives him a practical perspective on when to litigate hard and when to push for a faster resolution.
The Commercial Courts Act created a dedicated judicial infrastructure for resolving commercial disputes with a Specified Value of ₹3 lakh or above. These courts have stricter timelines, mandatory pre-institution mediation requirements (for disputes not requiring urgent interim relief), and a summary judgment procedure that can resolve straightforward matters without a full trial.
Navigating this framework efficiently requires counsel who is familiar with the procedural rules, the pre-institution mediation process, and the expectations of commercial court judges. Adv. Shailendra Singh regularly practises before the Delhi Commercial Courts and the Delhi High Court’s commercial division.
Not all commercial law work is contentious. We also advise clients on the commercial and legal aspects of transactions before they are executed — reviewing contracts, assessing risk allocation, advising on regulatory compliance, and flagging issues that could give rise to disputes down the line.
The best commercial legal advice prevents disputes from arising in the first place. When they do arise, we’re already familiar with the client’s business and their commercial relationships — which puts us in a much better position to respond quickly and effectively.

The Act covers disputes arising out of ordinary transactions of merchants, bankers, financiers, and traders — including contracts for sale of goods, exploitation of IP rights, joint ventures, insurance, construction contracts, and similar commercial arrangements with a Specified Value of ₹3 lakh or more.
Yes, unless urgent interim relief is required. Under Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act, parties must attempt pre-institution mediation through the Legal Services Authority before filing a commercial suit.
The Act sets an aspirational timeline of 12 months from first case management hearing to judgment. In practice, timelines vary, but commercial courts are generally faster than the regular civil courts for equivalent disputes.
