Our Approach

01

Our legal advice is built around commercial intent and project viability, going beyond standard statutory checklists to what actually protects your capital and serves the development.

02

Every JDA, commercial lease, and SPV structure is designed with long-term asset reliability, local municipal compliance, and day-to-day operational reality firmly in mind.

03

We stay actively engaged through execution and regulatory approvals, not just the drafting stage, because that is where land titles, construction milestones, and agreements are truly tested.

We provide fierce, strategically grounded representation to protect your real estate assets, managing complex property conflicts across all critical judicial and quasi-judicial bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Joint Development Agreement (JDA) is the foundation of most modern real estate projects in India, mapping out the alliance between a landowner and a developer. A specialized real estate attorney ensures that risk is perfectly allocated. Our firm goes beyond standard drafting; we structure JDAs with absolute clarity on: Capital contributions and development timelines. Specific revenue-sharing or built-up area-sharing ratios. Explicit exit mechanisms, force majeure clauses, and transfer of development rights (TDR) to protect your equity if the project stalls.
Comprehensive property due diligence requires checking the legal title of a property for a clear, continuous chain of minimum 30 years. As leading corporate lawyers in Delhi, our technical due diligence checklist includes: Verifying original title deeds and checking for encumbrances via the Sub-Registrar’s office. Confirming land-use compliance (residential, commercial, agricultural) with local municipal bodies like DDA, HUDA, or NOIDA authorities. Inspecting building sanction plans, occupancy certificates (OC), and checking for active litigations or land acquisition notices.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) mandates strict operational transparency. Failing to register a project or misrepresenting timelines can lead to heavy compounding interest penalties on delayed possession, structural defect liabilities for 5 years, or even a revocation of the project license. We don’t just offer generic advice; we help builders set up robust internal governance models to track construction milestones and manage escrow funds, keeping them fully compliant with state RERA authorities
Unlike residential leases, commercial real estate leases involve massive capital expenditure. A specialized commercial real estate attorney will safeguard your operational business reality by rigorously negotiating: Fit-out periods & Rent Escalations: Clearly defining rent-free periods for structural modifications and capping subsequent escalations. Lock-in periods & Termination: Protecting the tenant from sudden eviction while securing a clear exit strategy. Maintenance & Common Area Maintenance (CAM): Itemizing operational expenses so the lessee isn’t saddled with hidden structural repair costs.
No. Section 79 of the RERA Act explicitly bars civil courts from entertaining any suits or injunctions in respect of matters that the RERA Authority or the Appellate Tribunal are empowered to determine. For project delays, refunds, or misrepresentations, aggrieved parties must approach the state RERA forum. However, for complex title ownership fraud or criminal breach of trust, remedies can still be pursued through specialized economic offense wings or designated consumer courts under the Consumer Protection Act.
reehold Property: The buyer enjoys absolute ownership of both the structure and the land it is built upon with no time limits. Owners have the complete right to alter, sell, or transfer the property, subject to local zoning bye-laws. Leasehold Property: The land belongs to a government development authority (e.g., DDA or NOIDA) or a private lessor, given out for a specific period (typically 99 years). The lessee pays a ground rent and must seek renewal or convert the asset to freehold via an official conversion process before the lease term expires.
In large-scale commercial developments or fractional real estate investments, forming a Special Purpose Vehicle (typically structured as a Private Limited Company or an LLP) isolates financial risk. By routing the project through an SPV, the parent company or investment fund protects its core assets from project-specific liabilities, debt defaults, or local regulatory litigations. We specialize in structuring these corporate vehicles to align seamlessly with foreign direct investment (FDI) guidelines and Indian tax compliance laws.

Is a Property Dispute Holding Your Project Back?

In real estate, an unresolved conflict doesn’t just sit on paper—it freezes capital, stalls construction milestones, and compromises your entire business momentum.
