When Business Disputes Turn Into Legal Battles

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.

Our Commercial Law Practice

  • Commercial Court litigation — Delhi has dedicated Commercial Courts under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015. We file and defend commercial suits, handle summary judgment applications, and manage the procedural demands of commercial court proceedings
  • Breach of contract claims — Pursuing or defending claims for specific performance, damages, or injunctive relief where a counterparty has failed to honour its obligations
  • Injunctions and interim relief — Urgent applications for interim injunctions to preserve assets, prevent disclosure of confidential information, or stop a counterparty from taking a damaging action
  • Recovery of money — Debt recovery through summary suit procedure and commercial court filings where a clean debt is owed
  • Cheque dishonour — Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act proceedings, which combine civil recovery with criminal consequences
  • Trade and supply chain disputes — Claims arising from defective goods, delayed delivery, and non-payment in supply agreements
  • Franchise and distribution disputes — Where a franchisor or distributor has acted outside the agreed commercial arrangement

Commercial Courts Act, 2015 — What It Means for Your Dispute

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.

Advisory Work in Commercial Transactions

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.
