Litigation & Regulatory Representation Services
Representation before the Supreme Court, High Courts, SEBI, RBI, SFIO and CBI — notices, investigations, hearings and appeals by verified advocates.
Litigation & Regulatory Representation covers the high-stakes matters a business or individual cannot afford to handle alone — appeals and writs before the Supreme Court and High Courts, and proceedings before financial regulators and investigating agencies such as SEBI, the RBI, the SFIO and the CBI.
WCP's verified advocates and Chartered Accountants prepare replies to show-cause notices and summons, build the factual and legal record, represent clients at hearings and in investigations, and take matters up on appeal.
What is covered:
- Supreme Court and High Court matters
- SEBI proceedings, settlements and appeals
- RBI matters and FEMA compounding
- SFIO and CBI investigations
- FDI-related regulatory matters
In regulatory matters, the first reply to a notice or summons often shapes the whole case, so advice is best taken before responding.
