Commercial Disputes in Delhi
Commercial disputes may fall within the framework of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 depending on whether the dispute meets the statutory definition of a commercial dispute and the applicable requirements. The Act covers specified categories of commercial disputes, including certain commercial transactions, construction and infrastructure contracts, agreements concerning immovable property used exclusively in trade or commerce, franchising, distribution and licensing, management and consultancy, joint ventures and shareholders’ agreements.
The Delhi High Court maintains Commercial Division, Commercial Appellate Division and Delhi District Commercial Courts, and its published court rules include provisions concerning commercial suits.
The exact forum, procedure and available relief depend on the nature and value of the dispute, the parties involved, the agreement and the applicable law.
Corporate Legal Matters & Company Law
Company-related matters may involve the Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable laws depending on the structure of the entity and the issue involved. The Companies Act contains provisions concerning companies, directors, corporate arrangements and related obligations.
Because corporate issues can be highly fact-specific, legal advice should be based on the company’s constitutional documents, agreements, records and the precise issue requiring attention.

Courts, Commercial Courts & Dispute Resolution
