Firm History

Established in 2009, Diwan Advocates is a New Delhi–based full-service law firm shaped by sustained courtroom practice in complex, high-stakes matters. With offices across multiple Indian cities, the firm is known for stepping into difficult situations and bringing strategy, clarity, and order where the law is most contested.

The firm’s lawyers regularly appear before the Supreme Court of India, High Courts, District Courts, Tribunals, and Arbitral Forums in matters involving significant financial exposure, regulatory action, personal liberty, and reputational risk. Over the years, Diwan Advocates has developed particular strength in criminal and white-collar litigation, including financial investigations, economic offences, NDPS and PMLA proceedings, as well as insolvency and restructuring under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The firm is equally active in complex commercial litigation, arbitration, intellectual property disputes, and real estate and infrastructure-related matters, especially those involving multi-party exposure or parallel civil and criminal proceedings.

What distinguishes the firm is its lawyer-driven approach to strategy. Matters are led by lawyers who command the record, anticipate judicial concerns, and balance legal precision with practical consequence. The firm’s litigation experience also informs its corporate advisory and transactional practice, allowing it to anticipate risk and structure advice that withstands regulatory scrutiny and real-world disputes.

Recognized by respected professional platforms and industry publications, Diwan Advocates continues to grow as a lawyer-led institution trusted for serious litigation, sound judgement, and advocacy that matters when the stakes are highest.
