Bengaluru, Karnataka
ASK & V Associates appears in civil, criminal, property, company and arbitration matters. We take the same view of all of them: a file that sits still is a file that is losing. Clients come to us for straight answers and for matters that close.
You speak to an advocate, not a receptionist.
Not sure where your matter fits?
+91 73535 33434We are a general practice, which means a matter can go from the first notice to the final order without you being sent to another firm halfway. Where something falls outside what we do well, we say so and point you to someone who does it better.
Recovery suits, injunctions, specific performance, partition, declaration and possession. We file, contest and argue before the civil and commercial courts, and handle first and second appeals. Interim relief is usually where a matter is won or lost, so that stage gets the most preparation.
Anticipatory and regular bail, quashing of proceedings, trial defence, private complaints and appeals. We also assist complainants in cheque dishonour, cheating, criminal breach of trust and matrimonial cruelty matters. Bail work is treated as urgent, including on non-working days where the situation requires it.
Title verification and due diligence, sale deeds and agreements to sell, partition and boundary disputes, tenancy and eviction, builder delay and apartment disputes. We also handle khata and mutation work, and litigation relating to ancestral and joint family property.
Incorporation and structuring, founders and shareholder agreements, share transfer and exit clauses, contract drafting and review, vendor and service agreements, and commercial suits between businesses. We also advise on day to day compliance and on disputes arising out of the exit of a partner or director.
Drafting of arbitration clauses, domestic arbitration, appointment and challenge of arbitrators, enforcement and setting aside of awards. We also sit in negotiated settlements and mediation where a fight will cost more than it returns, and record the outcome so it holds.
Divorce by mutual consent and contested divorce, maintenance and alimony, custody and visitation, restitution and domestic violence proceedings, and property settlement between spouses. Handled quietly, with as little court time as the facts allow.
Drafting and registration of wills, probate and letters of administration, succession certificates, and disputes between legal heirs. We also advise on nomination versus succession, and on settling an estate without litigation where the family is willing.
Complaints for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice against builders, banks, insurers, hospitals, airlines and service providers. We issue the notice, file before the district and state commissions, and pursue execution so that an order actually results in payment.
Termination and dismissal disputes, retrenchment and settlement, unpaid wages and statutory dues, provident fund and gratuity claims, and domestic enquiries. We appear before labour courts, industrial tribunals and the authorities under the labour codes, for both employers and employees.
Statutory notices under the Negotiable Instruments Act, complaints for cheque dishonour, and summary suits for recovery of money. These are usually quick, paper driven matters, and we keep them that way: notice, complaint, evidence, order.
Claim petitions before the motor accident claims tribunals for injury, disability and death, including loss of dependency and future prospects. We coordinate medical records and the police file, and pursue the insurer through to deposit of the award.
Loan and guarantee disputes, proceedings before the debt recovery tribunal, SARFAESI notices and possession, and defences to bank claims. We also advise borrowers on one time settlement and on the correctness of interest and charges levied.
Also handled: legal notices, document vetting, due diligence, title opinions, power of attorney and affidavit work. Ask us if your matter is not listed.
Most people reach a lawyer already tired of the matter. The last thing they need is another delay they cannot see or control. Our work is built around removing both: the delay, and the uncertainty about what is happening.
A matter is not won by the strength of the file alone. It is won by the file being ready on the day the court calls it.
Working note, ASK & V Associates
You meet the advocate who will argue the matter, and that is the person who handles it. There is no quiet handover to someone you have never spoken to.
You will know how long the matter should take and what it will cost to run. If the honest answer is four years, you hear it in the first meeting, not the third.
Delay sits in adjournments, incomplete pleadings and unprepared hearings. We work to remove all three. A prepared brief does more for speed than any request for priority.
After every hearing you get a short note you can act on: where the matter stands, what happens next, and what we need from you. In language you can use.
What we ask of clients
The full file, including the parts that do not help you.
A decision when we ask for one, usually within the week.
A phone number where you can actually be reached.
Four partners, one office, and no layers between them and the client. Whoever takes your first call stays with the matter until it is disposed of.
Listed alphabetically. Full profiles, areas of focus and reported matters are available on request. Write to hi@ask-v.com.
Call the office and describe the matter in a few lines. If it is urgent, say so and we will find a slot the same working day. You will be told whether we can help, what it involves and what it costs before anything is filed.
