Regulatory Defence & Representation

Summons, search, show-cause and assessment — partner-led representation before SFIO, ED, DGGI, Income-Tax, NCLT and the economic-offence agencies.

Overview

When the notice arrives, strategy beats panic.

Enforcement action is won or lost in the first responses. We take conduct of summons, search-and-seizure follow-ups, show-cause notices and assessments end to end — controlling the narrative, the documentation and the appearances so that exposure is contained and the record is built for appeal from day one.

Promoters and companies served with summons under Section 70 or similar
Businesses facing GST anti-evasion (DGGI) or income-tax search proceedings
Entities under SFIO, ED or economic-offence-wing scrutiny
Anyone who needs a calm, senior hand on a live regulatory matter

FAQ

Regulatory representation, answered.

I have received a summons under Section 70. What should I do first?
Do not respond alone. We review the summons, fix the appearance, prepare your responses and accompany you, so that the first interaction sets the right record.
Do partners personally handle the matter or is it passed to juniors?
Regulatory matters are partner-led. The person advising strategy is the person who appears and argues.
Can you act where multiple agencies are involved at once?
Yes. We run a single coordinated strategy across SFIO, ED, DGGI and income-tax so that responses stay consistent and privilege is protected.
