What happened?

Pick the one closest to your situation. We'll tell you what kind of matter it is, what to bring, and what happens first.

“My society won't transfer my flat”

This is a housing societies matter.

Advice and representation for managing committees and members — bye-laws, elections, dues recovery, transfers, nominations and disputes under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960.

Bring with you

  • Share certificate and allotment or sale agreement for the flat
  • The society's registered bye-laws and registration certificate
  • Minutes of the general body or committee meetings concerned

The first step

Read the record. We read the bye-laws, minutes and correspondence before advising — most society disputes turn on what was resolved, and when.

Practice areas

Eight areas we know well.

Most of our work begins with a home — a society flat, a redevelopment, an inheritance. When those papers end up in court, we take them there too.

How it works

Five simple steps, no surprises.

  1. 1

    Day one

    You write, call or WhatsApp

    Tell us in a few lines what has happened. We reply the same working day with what to send and when we can meet.

  2. 2

    Before we meet

    We read the papers first

    You send scans of whatever you have. We read them before the meeting, so the hour is spent on your matter, not on catching up.

  3. 3

    The consultation

    Options, plainly

    At chambers or by video, in the language you prefer. What the law says, what your choices are, and what each would involve.

  4. 4

    In writing

    Scope and fee confirmed

    If you want us to act, you get the scope and the fee in writing, stage by stage. Government charges are shown separately, at actuals.

  5. 5

    Then

    We act — and report back

    Drafting, registration, filing or appearing. After every step or hearing you get a short note: what happened, and what comes next.

Buying in Mumbai?

What will the Government charge to register it?

Stamp duty, metro cess and registration fee on a Mumbai purchase, worked out in front of you. Government charges only — our fee is always separate and in writing.

How we work

Four promises, kept simple.

  1. Read everything first

    We read the whole file — the old agreements, the society minutes, the notices — before giving an opinion. Most bad advice comes from reading half of it.

  2. Fees in writing

    After the first review you get the scope and the fee in writing, stage by stage. Government stamp duty and court fees are shown separately, at actuals.

  3. Plain language

    You will understand what we file in your name. We explain in English, Marathi, Hindi or Gujarati, and we put the next step in writing after every hearing.

  4. Settle where it makes sense

    A society dispute that ends in a signed settlement is often a better result than a decree three years later. We will tell you when we think so.

Questions

Before you call us.

Not sure you need an advocate at all? Ask — a two-line message is enough.

WhatsApp Call us
All questions
My cheque bounced last month. Am I too late?

The demand notice must be sent within thirty days of your receiving the bank's return memo. If that has passed, the criminal remedy may be lost, but a civil claim for the money usually is not. Contact us with the memo and its date.

Is what I tell you confidential?

Yes. Communications with an advocate in the course of professional engagement are privileged under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, and we treat everything you tell us as confidential whether or not you go on to engage us.

How are your fees decided?

By the scope of the work — not by the value of your property. After we have read the papers, we confirm the scope and the fee in writing before any work begins. Litigation is quoted stage by stage, so you are never committed to the whole case at once.

Why don't you list your fees on the website?

Bar Council of India rules restrict what advocates may publish about their practice, and two matters that sound alike are rarely the same amount of work. You will always have the fee in writing before we start.

Are stamp duty and court fees included in your fee?

No. Stamp duty, registration fees and court fees are paid to the Government, and we show them separately at actuals. Our stamp duty calculator gives an estimate of the government charges on a Mumbai purchase.

How long will my case take?

Honestly, it depends on the court's calendar more than on us. We will give you a realistic range at the start, tell you which steps we control, and update you after every hearing.
