The Influential Law Firms in Maharashtra 2019

arbitration both in the Indian courts and before various
domestic and foreign forums.
Tax Litigation
This is the firm’s key practice of providing advisory and
litigation legal services, for both direct and indirect tax. It
holds tax law expertise and has a unique ability to simplify
extremely complex aspects of the same, for the ease of its
clients. Its opinions and interpretations are often sought by
experts and courts in India and internationally and has also
advised leading multi-nationals and large Indian business
houses.
Insolvency and Bankruptcy
In India, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy practice is a
relatively new one, with the legislation itself being at a
nascent stage. ILA’s pre-existing litigation experience has
enabled it to obtain favourable resolutions across a host of
forums—for all types of insolvency-related litigation,
oppression & mismanagement, Winding-up Petitions.
Views on Legal Situation and e-courts
The law and order condition in India, according to the
founding duo, has evolved gradually but surely. They say,
“We are glad to see that courts and arbitral tribunals are
focused on resolving conflict, enabling parties to move
forward. In the last couple of decades, we have seen our
judiciary deal with some grave and complex issues, swiftly
and efficiently.”
With the launch of e-courts, the firm believes it to be a
harmonious amalgamation of technology with the law. Like
FinTech, it suspects that Legal and Tech will soon become
unanimous. It sees new trends emerging, such as:
• artificial intelligence being used for legal research,
• predictive technology to forecast the results of cases,
• and using technology to standardize contracts and drafts.
Taking a huge leap towards digitization, the Supreme Court
digitized one crore five lakh pages and records of civil
appeals in an endeavour to embrace technology. The launch
of the Integrated Case Management System (ICMIS), for
promoting digitization of government service delivery to
Indian courts extends the flagship program. The firm has
started making the stride in that direction and it is only a
matter of time before technology transforms the way
courtrooms function.
Handling the Social Mantle
The firm is very sensitive to clients or potential clients
coming from the lower income group. Most of the times, it
tries to mediate between the parties, and draw their
attention to the cost they will have to incur, should they
take the litigation route. Apart from this, if parties have

irreconcilable differences or the other party refuses to come
to meet the lawyers, then they take the cost on actuals like
court fees but do not charge a fee for the services and time.
Inspiring the Young
The founders remind the young practitioners that “We
would tell anyone kick-starting a journey, in the business of
law that the most important part is to do your adequate
research in the space you plan to build your business. See
what the market needs, and assess whether your service is
helping bridge a gap. This helps you to set your own vision
and goal”. Constant innovation, being updated with
legislative changes, immense self-belief and perseverance
are some traits that will take one through.
India Law Alliance’s future goals are in line with its aim to
continue to build a niche for quality litigation support and
strategy. It will continue to focus on delivering quality to its
clients.
