Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Disputes are an inevitable part of doing business—but poor strategy turns manageable disagreements into expensive litigation. At Oberoi & Partners, we advise clients on commercial disputes, litigation strategy, arbitration, and dispute prevention, with a strong focus on resolution that aligns with business objectives.
Our dispute resolution practice is strategy-led and commercially grounded. We assist clients at every stage of a dispute—from pre-litigation advisory and negotiation to formal litigation, arbitration, and enforcement. Wherever possible, we help clients resolve disputes efficiently through structured negotiations or alternative dispute mechanisms, while remaining fully prepared to litigate where required.
We regularly advise startups, companies, promoters, creators, brands, and media businesses on disputes arising from contracts, intellectual property, employment relationships, and commercial arrangements.
