Where the office is

Overview

How the Firm Assists Clients Here

Ghaziabad lies in western Uttar Pradesh, within the National Capital Region. The district combines dense residential development with industrial and commercial activity, and a substantial part of its property work concerns apartments and developer-built housing rather than independent plots.

Property work in a district of this kind differs from work on independent plots. A buyer of an apartment is dealing with an allotment or builder-buyer arrangement, a development authority's conditions, and a maintenance and association structure, in addition to the ordinary questions of title. Each of those has to be read before money moves.

The other common instruction is employment documentation, which follows from the concentration of employers in the region. Appointment letters, confidentiality obligations and exit terms are the documents that get tested, and they are worth drafting for the position in India rather than adapting from a foreign template.

Getting started

How Consultation and Document Review Work

For an apartment purchase, the allotment or builder agreement and the approvals for the project are the documents to send first. Copies can be reviewed remotely; originals are examined at the Lucknow office before completion.

  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

The developer's title to the land, the approvals for the project, the terms of the agreement being offered, the position on any registration required for the project, and what is being promised about possession and common areas. The agreement is drafted in the developer's interest, which is normal, and is worth reading independently.

A broad restraint operating after employment ends is treated restrictively under Indian contract law and is difficult to enforce. Confidentiality and reasonable non-solicitation obligations stand differently. What your particular agreement does is a question of what it actually says.

It depends on the agreement, on what was promised and on which statutory framework applies to the project. The agreement and the approvals are the starting point, and the correspondence recording each delay matters, so it should be preserved.
