Praised by clients for its ‘outcome oriented and problem-solving approach,’ the restructuring and insolvency department at DSK Legal is a good choice for shareholders, liquidators, and resolution professionals seeking assistance with domestic and cross-border mandates, including insolvency resolution processes, restructurings, and acquisitions, as well as disputes, settlements, and auction processes. Ajay Shaw co-heads the Mumbai office alongside Ashish Pahariya and Soham Mookherjee, while in New Delhi, Niraj Kumar spearheads the group with Samir Malik and Satendra Kumar Rai. Shaw is adept at handling restructuring and insolvency matters before the NCLT, while Pahariya is a go-to practitioner for liquidations. On the debt restructuring front, Mookherjee is the main contact, and on the insolvency resolution process side, Kumar is the name to note. Malik stands out for his litigation and arbitration prowess, while Rai has considerable experience advising on resolution plans.
