Overview
Litigation is a chess game played in robes — and like chess, it is won in the opening, not the endgame. At K & K Associates, every dispute begins with a sharp diagnosis: can this be resolved without entering a courtroom? When litigation is unavoidable, our advocates build strategy from the first legal notice to the final order — with the discipline of a trial lawyer and the foresight of a strategist.
From our office at A-197, LGF, Defence Colony, New Delhi 110024 — within 3 km of Saket District Court, 12 km of the Delhi High Court (Sher Shah Road) and 8 km of the Supreme Court of India, we appear daily before the Saket, Patiala House, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Rohini and Dwarka District Courts; the Delhi High Court at Sher Shah Road; the Supreme Court of India; and specialised tribunals like NCLT, NCLAT, DRT, DRAT, NGT, CAT and AFT. Our pan-India bench presence is supported by a vetted local-counsel network in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
We represent corporations, financial institutions, promoter families, individuals, MSMEs, start-ups and overseas clients in civil, commercial, criminal, constitutional, regulatory and matrimonial disputes. Our case-management protocol — daily court notes, witness preparation matrices, deposition rehearsals and digital evidence stacks — ensures nothing falls through the cracks during years of trial.
Our Litigation Practice at a Glance
Engagements typically begin with a paid one-hour diagnostic conference: we map the facts, audit the documentary record, identify exposure, and produce a written strategy memo before any retainer is signed. That diagnosis often saves clients lakhs in misallocated litigation spend.

How Commercial Litigation Differs After 2015
The Commercial Courts Act, 2015 transformed commercial dispute resolution. Disputes of 'specified value' (currently ₹3 lakh+) follow strict timelines — written statement within 120 days, mandatory case management, summary judgment under Order XIIIA, and pre-institution mediation under Section 12A. Our team has deep experience navigating this regime, including before the dedicated commercial benches at the Delhi High Court.
Cost Structures That Respect Your Budget
Indian law prohibits pure contingency. We structure fees through a hybrid model that respects Bar Council Rules: (a) milestone-linked engagement fees; (b) capped monthly retainers; (c) success premiums on enforcement and recovery; (d) fixed fees for one-shot matters such as quashing and bail. Every engagement is documented in a written retainer letter — no hidden costs, no surprises.
