Litigation strategy: court craft, clarity, and pace

Insolvency litigation rewards brevity, clarity and procedural agility. Courts expectedly focus on material facts: company accounts, repayment history, security enforcement, timelines and the commercial viability of resolutions. Accordingly, our litigation strategy emphasizes:

• early identification and preservation of critical documentary evidence;

• concise pleadings that frame the discrete legal questions for the tribunal;

• strategic use of interim applications to prevent asset dissipation or to secure essential reliefs;

• targeted witness affidavits and expert reports (valuation, forensic accounting) where necessary;

• pre-emptive challenge and defence to procedural vulnerabilities (defect in petition, jurisdictional objections, limitation queries); and

• economically minded submissions that present resolution plans as better value than liquidation where appropriate.

Vox Iuris’ courtroom advocacy is tailored to the Bench’s expectations: precise oral submissions, well-indexed bundles and an ability to distil complex financial matrices into judgeable issues. On appeal, our written submissions and oral advocacy reflect the higher court’s focus on legal principles and systemic implications.

Restructuring, turnaround and practical solutions

Not every distressed situation requires formal insolvency proceedings. In many cases, an out-of-court restructuring or negotiated settlement preserves value while avoiding the time and cost of CIRP. Our team routinely advises on:

• consensual debt restructuring and standstill agreements;

• short-term liquidity mechanisms and debtor-in-possession financing;

• operational turnaround measures, including management changes, cost rationalization and contractual re-negotiations;

• bespoke settlement frameworks for supplier, employee and creditor claims; and

• exit options such as strategic sale, carve-outs or managed liquidation to optimize recoveries.

For promoters and boards wishing to rehabilitate viable businesses, we combine legal strategy with pragmatic financial and operational inputs to construct credible rescue plans that will withstand creditor scrutiny and regulatory checks.

Cross-border insolvency: coordination and recognition

Global business means distress can span jurisdictions. Whether it’s recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings, enforcement of foreign judgments, or coordinating with overseas insolvency practitioners, cross-border matters demand delicate legal navigation. Vox Iuris works in tandem with reputable foreign counsel to:

• secure recognition orders and coordinate evidence production;

• manage asset tracing and preservation across borders;

• handle issues of jurisdiction, comity and conflict of laws; and

• negotiate transnational resolution frameworks that maximize recoveries.

Our cross-border practice leverages networks and a practical understanding of international insolvency principles to protect client interests outside India as effectively as within.

Skilled attorneys and team capability

Our insolvency team combines seasoned litigators, restructuring advisors and forensic analysts. Each matter is led by a senior counsel experienced in high-stakes insolvency work and supported by associates adept at evidence assembly, drafting and procedural strategy. We invest in continuous training so our lawyers are current with judicial trends, regulatory updates and valuation methodologies. The result is a compact, high-impact team that can run parallel tasks — evidentiary preparation, creditor negotiation and court advocacy — without loss of focus.

Research, precedent and thought leadership

Insolvency law evolves rapidly through judicial interpretation and regulatory refinement. Vox Iuris maintains an active program of research and thought leadership: detailed case notes, practice memos, client briefings and seminars that track pivotal decisions and regulatory amendments. We publish analytical pieces that help clients anticipate judicial trends and design compliant, resilient resolution strategies. For institutional clients, we also provide bespoke workshops — explaining practical implications of landmark judgments, valuation models and the latest NCLT/NCLAT jurisprudence.

Practical examples of matters we handle (illustrative)

• advising a consortium of lenders on initiating CIRP and coordinating with the interim resolution professional to maximize secured recoveries;

• defending a notice-based petition where the company alleged mala fide initiation and successfully obtaining interim relief while negotiating a restructuring;

• structuring a cross-border acquisition of stressed assets, drafting complex indemnities and securing court approvals;

• representing a resolution applicant in competitive bidding processes and securing approval of a resolution plan with regulatory clearances;

• pursuing clawback and avoidance actions against related party transactions to recover diverted assets for the creditor body.

These representative matters highlight our capacity to manage the entire insolvency life-cycle — from prevention to resolution and, where necessary, liquidation.

We maintain strict confidentiality protocols and a transparent fee framework that aligns incentives and keeps cost predictable.
