India · Regulatory Defence
Summons, statements, attachments, show cause notices and Tribunal proceedings before India’s enforcement agencies and regulators, with the financial record built by chartered accountants and counsel briefed for the courts.
When an enforcement agency or regulator opens a case, the first statement and the first written replies shape everything that follows. LexVerge acts for companies, promoters and directors in matters before the Enforcement Directorate, the SFIO, state Economic Offences Wings, SEBI, the Reserve Bank and the NCLT. We rebuild the money trail, prepare the replies, appear where the law allows chartered accountants, and brief counsel for bail, quashing and High Court work.

The split matters when choosing a team. Most enforcement cases are built on bank records, books and transactions, which is accountants’ work; the criminal side, including bail and quashing, is advocates’ work. We do the first and work with your counsel on the second, so the financial record and the legal strategy say the same thing.
