Practice areas

Five areas of work, handled with the same discipline

The firm deliberately keeps a narrow practice. Every matter is handled by a partner, and every file is prepared as though it will be argued — because sometimes it is.

Corporate law

02

Property & Real Estate

Title verification, builder and possession disputes, partition among co-owners, tenancy and eviction, sale agreement enforcement and DDA or MCD matters.

Property disputes

03

Civil Litigation & Recovery

Suits for recovery of money, injunctions, specific performance, execution proceedings and appeals before the District Courts and the Delhi High Court.

Civil litigation

04

Criminal Defence

Bail and anticipatory bail, trial defence, cheque dishonour complaints under Section 138, and complaints arising from commercial or matrimonial disputes.

05

Family & Matrimonial

Not sure where your matter fits?

Why clients choose the firm

Reasons that are practical rather than promotional

01

Partner-led attention

The advocate you meet at the first consultation is the advocate who appears for you. Files are not handed down to a rotating team.

02

Advice before litigation

Where a matter can be closed by negotiation, we say so. Litigation is recommended when it is the only route to the result a client needs.

03

Familiarity with Delhi courts

Regular appearances before the Delhi High Court, the District Courts at Saket, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Rohini and Dwarka, NCLT and DRT.

04

Written, plain-language counsel

Opinions, timelines and fee estimates are given in writing before work begins, so there is no ambiguity about the road ahead.

Rajeev Mehra

Managing Partner

  • Enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi, 1993
  • Practice before the Delhi High Court and District Courts
  • Advises on commercial, property and succession matters
  • Languages: English, Hindi, Punjabi

Who you will work with

Twenty-five years of practice, one standard of preparation

Rajeev Mehra founded the firm in 1998 after five years at the Delhi bar, working largely on property and commercial disputes. The practice began in a single chamber near Tis Hazari and moved to Connaught Place in 2006, where it has remained.

His approach is unfashionably direct: read the file properly, advise on the strongest ground rather than the loudest one, and keep the client informed at every stage. He continues to appear personally in matters the firm accepts.

The firm is supported by partners Ananya Mehra and Faisal Qureshi, whose work is set out on the about page.

Selected matters

A representative sample of recent work

Summaries have been anonymised and are provided to illustrate the nature of the firm's work. Past outcomes do not guarantee similar results in other matters.

  • Commercial recovery
    Delhi High Court

    Summary suit for recovery of unpaid supply invoices

    Acting for a Delhi-based components supplier against a buyer who had withheld payment for eight months while continuing to accept deliveries. The matter was filed as a summary suit, leave to defend was contested, and a decree was obtained. Execution proceedings were thereafter initiated against the debtor's bank accounts in South Delhi.

  • Property dispute
    Saket District Court

    Injunction against alienation of a jointly owned floor

    A family of co-owners discovered that one branch was negotiating a sale of an undivided share in a Greater Kailash property. We obtained an interim injunction restraining further alienation and negotiated a partition arrangement that avoided a full trial. The settlement was recorded before the court.

  • Criminal defence
    Rohini District Court

    Anticipatory bail in a dispute arising from a commercial transaction

    A director of a small manufacturing unit faced a criminal complaint following a failed supply contract. We applied for anticipatory bail, demonstrating that the dispute was civil in character. Protection was granted with conditions, and the parties subsequently resolved the underlying claim through mediation.

How we work

Four stages, explained at the outset

Clients should know what is happening in their matter, what it will cost, and what happens next. Our engagement follows a defined sequence.

01

Consultation

A first meeting, in person or by telephone, to understand the facts and the outcome you are seeking. No charge for the initial assessment of whether we can help.

02

Assessment and estimate

A written note setting out the legal position, the realistic options, an indicative timeline, and the fee structure before any work begins.

03

Strategy and representation

Drafting, filing and appearance handled by the partner responsible for the file, with pleadings shared with you before they are filed.

04

Reporting

Updates after every hearing, and a written note whenever an order is passed or a decision has to be taken by you.

Common questions

Questions clients ask before instructing us

If your question is not answered here, the fastest route is a short telephone call to the chambers.

Call +91 11 4052 8890
Is the first consultation free?
The initial conversation, in which we assess whether the firm can assist and outline the broad position, carries no charge. If the matter proceeds, a written fee estimate is provided before any work is undertaken.
How are your fees structured?
Most matters are billed on a fixed fee per stage — for example, a defined amount for filing a suit and a separate amount for each contested hearing. Where a matter is open-ended, an hourly rate is agreed in advance. We do not take contingency fees.
Which courts does the firm appear in?
The Delhi High Court, the District Courts at Tis Hazari, Saket, Karkardooma, Rohini and Dwarka, the Family Courts at Dwarka and Saket, the National Company Law Tribunal and the Debts Recovery Tribunal in Delhi.
Can you handle a matter outside Delhi?
We regularly advise on matters governed by Delhi jurisdiction and appear in Delhi courts. For matters in other states we can either act alongside local counsel or refer you to a firm we know and trust.
How soon can I be seen?
Routine consultations are usually accommodated within two working days. Where a matter involves an imminent hearing, a police notice or a limitation deadline, say so when you write and we will prioritise it.
