Indian litigation, run for you wherever you're based overseas.
Navlaw & Associates represents NRI clients in Dubai, the U.K. and Australia in civil, commercial and property litigation before Indian courts — including the Punjab & Haryana High Court and the Chandigarh District Courts — with case management structured around your time zone and travel.
Litigation we run for NRI clients overseas
Each matter below is one we actively instruct on for NRI clients in Dubai, the U.K., Australia and elsewhere who cannot attend court themselves. Where a personal appearance is unavoidable, we tell you plainly, in advance.
Indian civil & commercial litigation
Suits for recovery, breach of contract, partnership and business disputes, and declaratory suits, conducted before the court of appropriate jurisdiction in India while you remain overseas.
Punjab & Haryana High Court and Chandigarh litigation
Writ petitions, civil revisions, appeals and original side matters before the Punjab & Haryana High Court, and proceedings before the Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula District Courts.
Property and inheritance disputes
Partition suits, title and possession disputes, benami and mutation challenges, and succession or probate matters concerning ancestral or self-acquired property in India.
Execution and enforcement
Execution petitions to give effect to decrees already obtained, including attachment, possession delivery and contempt proceedings where a decree is not honoured.
Remote representation and case management
Vakalatnama and power-of-attorney documentation attested at the nearest Indian Consulate or High Commission — in Dubai, London, Sydney or elsewhere — hearing-by-hearing status updates, and video briefings scheduled around your working hours.

Where an India dispute needs an internationally-facing lawyer.
Navlaw & Associates advises businesses and individuals in Dubai, the U.K. and Australia on commercial disputes with an Indian counterparty, and on arbitration and mediation under the Indian Arbitration & Conciliation Act, including proceedings connected to DIAC.
India-linked commercial, arbitration & mediation matters
Where a dispute has one foot in India and one in Dubai, the U.K. or Australia, these are the matters we regularly advise on and appear in.
International commercial disputes
Disputes between an Indian party and one based in Dubai, the U.K. or Australia over trade, supply, services or investment agreements, whichever side you act for.
Domestic and international arbitration
Representation in arbitration proceedings seated in India or abroad, and advice on drafting arbitration clauses to avoid disputes over jurisdiction later.
Mediation & alternative dispute resolution
Structured mediation as an alternative to litigation or arbitration, including court-annexed and private mediation, where a commercial or family relationship is worth preserving.
DIAC-related matters
Advice where a contract refers disputes to the Dubai International Arbitration Centre and one party or asset is connected to India.
Indian Arbitration Act proceedings
Applications and appearances under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before Indian courts and tribunals.
Sections 9, 11, 34 and 37 proceedings
Interim relief before arbitration (S.9), appointment of arbitrators (S.11), challenges to an award (S.34), and appeals from arbitration orders (S.37).
Award enforcement
Execution of domestic and foreign arbitral awards against assets or parties located in India.
Shareholder, JV, construction & property disputes
Disputes arising from joint ventures, shareholder agreements, construction contracts and property investments connecting India with Dubai, the U.K. or Australia.

- ✓
Arbitration and litigation under one roof
We advise on the arbitration clause itself and, where needed, take the matter into Indian courts for interim relief or enforcement.

Commercially minded advice
Recommendations weigh cost and time against the size of the dispute, not litigation for its own sake.

Contracts and clauses reviewed with an eye to how an award or decree would actually be enforced in India.
