IBC & Insolvency Advisory
We advise financial creditors, operational creditors, corporate debtors, resolution applicants and promoters under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 — from pre-insolvency strategy to CIRP, resolution planning and liquidation.
Overview
IBC is a time-bound, high-stakes framework. Positioning — as a creditor, debtor or resolution applicant — needs to be worked out well before filing.
Our team combines financial, legal and negotiation expertise to help clients maximise recovery, preserve value or acquire distressed businesses on favourable terms.

Challenges we help you navigate
Fragmented advisors, uneven quality
Most ibc advisory mandates cross tax, legal, finance and secretarial workstreams. Handing them to separate advisors creates gaps in strategy, timelines and accountability.
Regulatory complexity and shifting law
The regulatory landscape around ibc advisory has moved quickly in the last few years. Precedents, circulars and enforcement priorities change how a matter should be structured and defended.
Commercial trade-offs, not just paperwork
Every ibc advisory decision affects cash, tax, timelines and stakeholder trust. Documentation alone is not enough — the underlying commercial call has to be right.
Execution capacity under time pressure
Boards and promoters usually engage on a deadline — a filing, a board meeting, a diligence, a hearing. Slippage is expensive and often irreversible.

Section 29A of IBC disqualifies certain promoters. Eligibility depends on the debtor's history, default status and related-party links. We assess eligibility case by case.
