Insolvency and Bankruptcy
Insolvency is not merely a legal process. It is a business turning point that requires speed, clarity and strategic decision making. Whether you are a creditor seeking recovery or a debtor seeking resolution, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code provides a structured framework, but the outcome depends heavily on timely action, strong documentation and effective representation.
At Expletus Legal, we advise and represent financial creditors, operational creditors, corporate debtors, promoters, resolution applicants and other stakeholders in insolvency and restructuring matters. Our support spans the entire lifecycle of insolvency proceedings including pre litigation strategy, CIRP representation, resolution planning, liquidation advisory and related litigation.
Creditor Representation
Creditors often require quick legal action to protect recovery rights and prevent value erosion. We assist creditors with strategy and filings under the IBC, including drafting and filing of insolvency applications, representation before the NCLT, participation in committee processes and review of resolution plans.
- Initiation of CIRP by financial or operational creditors
- Claims filing and verification strategy
- CoC advisory and resolution plan analysis
- Dispute handling during CIRP and liquidation
- Recovery strategy across parallel legal mechanisms
Corporate Debtor and Promoter Advisory
For corporate debtors, insolvency proceedings require careful legal planning to preserve operations, manage stakeholder relationships and evaluate resolution pathways. We assist corporate debtors and promoters in responding to insolvency notices, handling admission challenges, negotiating settlements and navigating CIRP processes.
Where restructuring is commercially viable, we advise on settlement structures and early resolution strategies. For this, our Alternate Dispute Resolution capability is often helpful.
Resolution Applicants and Distressed Acquisitions
We advise resolution applicants and investors in evaluating distressed asset opportunities. Our support includes legal due diligence, transaction structuring, resolution plan drafting support and representation before relevant forums.
- Legal due diligence for distressed acquisitions
- Review of liabilities, claims and litigation exposure
- Resolution plan support and compliance checks
- Representation during plan approval stages
Litigation and Insolvency Linked Disputes
Insolvency matters often give rise to litigation relating to claims, avoidance transactions, preferential transactions, undervalued transactions and fraudulent trading allegations. We represent clients in such proceedings before NCLT, NCLAT, High Courts and the Supreme Court where required.
Many insolvency disputes also involve complex contractual issues. We assist clients in managing such disputes through Arbitration where appropriate and legally sustainable.
IBC and Banking Interplay
IBC matters are deeply connected to loan documentation, security enforcement and restructuring frameworks. Our team works closely with our Banking and Finance practice to ensure the strategy remains aligned with legal enforceability and commercial outcomes.
