Saya & Associates
Step one
Diagnose
We find where the real exposure sits — in contracts, data flows, filings or court files — not where it is easiest to look.
Saya & Associates — Advocates, New Delhi
The full weight of a law firm, without the handoffs.
A full-service practice in New Delhi: civil, criminal, matrimonial and land litigation and arbitration before the courts of Delhi, alongside corporate, cross-border, tax and intellectual property work — for individuals, families and businesses, carried from first advice to the courtroom by the people who advised you.
Civil and criminal litigation
When it has to be argued.
Suits for recovery, injunction and possession, bail and criminal trials, appeals, writs and domestic arbitration — before the district courts of Delhi, the High Court of Delhi, the Supreme Court of India and the tribunals. The advocate who prepares the file is the one who stands up in court.
Matrimonial, land and property
The disputes that start at home.
Divorce, maintenance and custody, domestic violence proceedings, partition between heirs, title and possession of land, tenancy and eviction, and the wills and succession that decide who owns what — explained in plain language to the person in the middle of it.
Corporate, cross-border and technology
Deals and structures that cross a border.
Company formation and shareholder agreements, the contracts a business runs on, entry into India for overseas businesses, tax and intellectual property, and the data protection and AI rules that now reach Indian companies.
Everything the practice covers
Twelve practice areas, end to end. Most legal problems do not arrive labelled by department, and they are not handed between teams here.
Civil litigation and arbitration
Suits for recovery, injunction, possession and specific performance, consumer complaints, cheque dishonour, appeals, execution and writs, and domestic arbitration.
Criminal litigation
Anticipatory and regular bail, FIR registration and quashing, replies to police notices, trial defence and prosecution, appeals and revision.
Matrimonial and family
Divorce, maintenance and alimony, custody and guardianship, domestic violence proceedings, matrimonial criminal cases, succession and wills.
Land and property
Title and possession disputes, partition between heirs, tenancy and eviction, land acquisition compensation, RERA, and sale and registration.
Banking, recovery and insolvency
Recovery suits and DRT proceedings, SARFAESI enforcement, section 138 cheque cases, and insolvency before the NCLT.
Tax
Assessment and reassessment, appeals before the Commissioner and the Tribunal, GST notices and adjudication, and tax writs.
Corporate and M&A
Incorporation and structuring, shareholders' agreements, joint ventures, acquisitions, and the commercial contracts underneath them.
Cross-border and NRI
Inbound and outbound structuring, foreign parents and foreign customers, NRI property, succession and family matters.
Data protection and AI
DPDP Act compliance, consent managers, breach response, GDPR exposure, and the EU AI Act's reach into Indian providers.
Intellectual property
Trade mark filing, prosecution and opposition, copyright and designs, infringement and passing off, and online enforcement.
Employment
Contracts and contractor structures, policies, the labour codes, internal investigations and departmental proceedings.
Startups and emerging companies
Cap table and founder documentation, ESOPs, fundraising, and compliance built to survive diligence later.
How an engagement runs
You are told at the outset who runs the matter, what the work covers, and what it does not.
Step two
Scope in writing
A conflict check, then a written engagement letter setting out the work, the timeline and the terms before anything begins.
Step three
Execute
Drafting, filing, negotiating or arguing — with the same senior attention at every step, and no handoff to a team you have not met.
Step four
Stay with it
Continuing counsel as a case moves through hearings and appeals, or as a business changes and the rules around it move.
Who we act for
Individuals and families, lenders and financial institutions, public utilities, government departments, and companies operating into and out of India.
Individuals and families
People with a case of their own: bail and criminal trials, divorce, maintenance and custody, disputes over land, tenancy and inheritance, cheque dishonour and money recovery, and consumer complaints. The practice acts for salaried people, shopkeepers, homemakers, pensioners and families living abroad, not only for institutions.
Government and statutory bodies
The Union of India before the High Court of Delhi, the Serious Fraud Investigation Office under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Delhi Development Authority, the Central Administrative Tribunal and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
Lenders and financial institutions
Recovery and enforcement before the Debt Recovery Tribunal and the civil courts for Indiabulls, Edelweiss and Samman Capital, and banking work for Delhi Nagrik Sehkari Bank.
Public utilities and undertakings
Panel counsel work for BSES Rajdhani Power and BSES Yamuna Power, and for the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation.
Insurance, consumer and public interest
Appellate work for Iffco Tokio General Insurance; multi-petition representation for the Delhi Ration Dealers Union in matters concerning India's public distribution system.
The partners
The person you brief is the person who argues it.
Three partners, with a team of associates, counsel and staff, before the Supreme Court of India, the High Court of Delhi, the district courts and the tribunals. No account manager between the question and the judgment.
