Practice areas

Seven practices. One standard of proof.

From the compliance calendar that keeps you out of trouble to the tribunal appearance when trouble finds you anyway — here is exactly what RESOL does, and how.

Instructions accepted across India Scoped in writing before work begins Advisory and litigation under one roof

01 — CompliancesCompanies Act · SEBI · RBI · FEMA

Compliances

Compliance failures are rarely dramatic. They are a filing missed in March, a register never updated, a policy nobody signed. We map every obligation that genuinely attaches to your business, put it on a calendar with an owner and an evidence trail, and review it before a regulator does.

Where gaps already exist, we produce a written register of them, ranked by exposure, with a remediation plan you can take to your board.

MCA filingsSEBI LODRRBI directions FEMA · FDI · ODILabour codesSecretarial
Discuss a compliance mandate

What we deliver

  • Obligation mapping across corporate, securities, exchange-control and sectoral law
  • Annual and event-based filings with the MCA, RBI and SEBI
  • Secretarial support — minutes, statutory registers, resolutions
  • Compliance calendars with ownership, evidence and escalation built in
  • Policy suites: code of conduct, insider trading, RPT, whistleblower

Typical mandates

  • Pre-inspection health checks with a written gap register
  • FDI, ODI and FEMA reporting, including compounding applications
  • Listed-entity obligations under SEBI LODR
  • Directors' obligations, DIN and KYC upkeep
  • Replies to regulatory correspondence and show-cause notices

02 — DisputesLitigation · Arbitration · Recovery

Disputes

A dispute is won or lost long before the hearing — in the contract, the correspondence and the record. We act in commercial litigation, arbitration, recovery and regulatory defence, and because we also build compliance frameworks, we know what the file should have contained.

Every matter starts with a candid assessment of merits, cost and timeline. Where settlement serves you better than judgment, we will say so.

03 — Corporate IPRTrade marks · Copyright · Designs

Corporate IPR

Most businesses discover the state of their IP during a due diligence, and by then the assignment is missing or the mark is already opposed. We treat intellectual property as a portfolio to be built, licensed, policed and — where necessary — enforced.

That includes the unglamorous parts: clearing a name before you print it, and getting every contractor to assign what they created.

Trade marksCopyrightDesigns Trade secretsLicensingEnforcement

What we deliver

  • Clearance searches, trade mark filings, oppositions and renewals
  • Copyright and design registration
  • Trade secret and confidentiality frameworks
  • Licensing, assignment and franchising documentation

Enforcement & diligence

  • IP due diligence for fundraises and acquisitions
  • Portfolio audits and renewal watch

04 — AMLPMLA 2002 · FIU-IND

Anti-Money Laundering

If you are a reporting entity under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the obligation is not to have a policy — it is to run a programme, and to be able to show that you ran it. We design AML/CFT frameworks that survive an inspection and an audit.

That reach now extends well beyond banks: NBFCs, payment aggregators, insurers, virtual digital asset service providers and a widening set of designated businesses all carry the same duties.

05 — Data PrivacyDPDP Act 2023 · IT Act · GDPR interface

Data Privacy

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act changes the default: personal data is processed on a lawful basis you can evidence, for a purpose you disclosed, for only as long as you need it. Most organisations cannot currently show any of the three.

We run the assessment, build the consent and rights machinery, paper the processor chain, and rehearse the breach response before you need it.

06 — POSHSexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013

POSH

POSH obligations are strict, personal to the employer, and routinely got wrong — an Internal Committee without a valid external member, a policy nobody circulated, an inquiry conducted without the procedure the Act requires.

We set the framework up correctly, train the people who have to run it, and provide external members and inquiry support so that findings can withstand challenge.

Industries we serve

The same statute lands differently on every balance sheet.

We concentrate on sectors where regulation is dense, supervision is active, and the cost of getting it wrong is measured in licences rather than legal fees.

How to engage us

Three ways in. All of them scoped in writing.

Most common

Advisory retainer

A standing relationship for continuing obligations — the compliance calendar, the filings, the policy refreshes and the questions that come up in between. Billed monthly against an agreed scope.

Suits: NBFCs, exchanges and growing companies with recurring regulatory exposure.

Project mandate

A defined piece of work with a defined end: a DPDP readiness programme, an AML framework build, a POSH set-up, an IP portfolio audit or a pre-inspection health check.

Suits: one-off remediation, new obligations, or preparing for diligence.

Dispute engagement

Matter-specific representation in litigation, arbitration, recovery or regulatory proceedings, with a written assessment of merits, likely cost and timeline before we file anything.

Suits: live disputes, notices received, and enforcement of awards or decrees.
