ENFORCEMENT DIRECTORATE

Representation in ED, PMLA, and economic offence proceedings.

We represent individuals and businesses in Enforcement Directorate proceedings, including investigations, attachments, and prosecutions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and FEMA.

Overview

An advisory approach to enforcement directorate.

We represent individuals and businesses in Enforcement Directorate proceedings, including investigations, attachments, and prosecutions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and FEMA.

The practice is conducted by senior counsel who remain engaged across the lifecycle of a matter. Engagements are scoped in writing before representation begins, and clients receive regular updates as the matter progresses.

What We Do

Areas of work within enforcement directorate.

  • ED summons & investigation
    Representation during recording of statements and investigative proceedings.

    Applications under PMLA before the special court and the High Court.
  • FEMA matters
    Adjudication, compounding, and appellate proceedings under the Foreign Exchange Management Act.

Key Considerations

What clients can expect.

Considered preparation

Each matter is approached with research and analysis ahead of action, not on its way to court.

Senior involvement

Partners remain engaged across the lifecycle. You will not be handed off after intake.

Clarity on scope

A written engagement letter sets out the work, timelines, and the basis of fees before representation begins.

Who This Is For

Engagements suited to:

Individuals Directors & officers Businesses Cross-border counterparties

For matters requiring careful preparation and considered representation in proceedings before the Enforcement Directorate and allied authorities.

Each engagement begins with a confidential conversation in which we understand the matter, your objectives, and the timelines you are working with. We then run an internal conflict check before any advice is given or representation is accepted.

Representation begins only after a written engagement letter is signed, setting out the scope of work, the fees, and the basis on which we will be available to you. Senior counsel remain directly involved across the lifecycle of the matter, with periodic written updates and clear next steps at every stage.
