Where the office is

Overview

How the Firm Assists Clients Here

Firozabad lies in western Uttar Pradesh, close to Agra. The district's manufacturing is long associated with glassware and bangles, organised largely in small units supplying traders and wholesalers in other states.

Units supplying fragile goods to distant buyers face a specific documentary problem: establishing the condition in which goods left and the point at which risk passed. Where that is not dealt with in the terms of supply, a claim for breakage becomes a dispute about who should bear a loss neither party can now prove.

The other recurring instruction concerns the units themselves — partnerships operating without a deed, or businesses that have outgrown the form they were started in. Both are dealt with by documenting what the arrangement actually is before it is tested.

Getting started

How Consultation and Document Review Work

For a supply dispute, the terms of supply, the packing and transport records and any inspection report are the documents that decide it. Send those with the invoices ahead of a first discussion.

  1. Step 01

    First discussion

    What has happened, what is sought and whether anything is running against time.

  2. Step 02

    Document review

    The papers already held are read, and anything still to be obtained is identified.

  3. Step 03

    Scope and next steps

    The available course of action, the work it involves and its likely stages are set out before it is begun.

Remote

Matters That May Begin Remotely

Whether a particular matter can be taken this far without a meeting depends on the papers, and is settled at the outset rather than assumed.

  • A first discussion about what has happened and what is sought, by telephone or video call.
  • Reading scanned documents — agreements, notices, returns, orders and correspondence — before originals are seen.
  • Drafting and settling notices, replies, agreements and deeds, with revisions exchanged electronically.
  • Preparing and submitting registration and return filings that are made online.
  • Written replies to notices issued by a tax or registration authority.

In person

Matters That May Require Physical Appearance

Some steps cannot be completed remotely. Where attendance is required, that is said in advance rather than discovered on the day.

  • Execution and registration of a deed, where the parties must attend the registration office in person.
  • Hearings where the court, tribunal or authority requires a party rather than only the advocate to be present.
  • Examination of original title documents, which frequently cannot be assessed from a photograph or a scan.
  • Recording of evidence, and any proceeding in which a party must be identified in person.
  • Any step for which the forum concerned directs personal attendance.

The practice

Advocates

Each advocate of the firm is enrolled with the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh and holds a Certificate of Practice. All three work from the Lucknow office.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the terms of supply and on when risk was to pass, which is exactly what unwritten arrangements leave open. The transport documents, the packing record and the correspondence at the time are what the question is decided on.

Yes, and it is one of the clauses most worth including for goods of this kind: who arranges transport, who insures, at what point risk passes, and what has to be done to make a claim. It costs little to agree in advance and a great deal to argue afterwards.

Possibly. The choice between a firm, an LLP and a company turns on liability, compliance and whether outside investment is contemplated. It is easier to choose deliberately than to restructure later, and the tax position should be considered alongside the legal one.
