Overview

What is NCLT & Arbitration?

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) is a quasi-judicial body in India that handles corporate disputes, including oppression and mismanagement proceedings under the Companies Act, as well as insolvency matters under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). Arbitration, conversely, is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism where parties resolve contractual conflicts efficiently and privately outside traditional courts based on an agreed arbitration clause. In India’s corporate landscape, navigating the intersection of NCLT jurisdiction—which deals with statutory and collective stakeholder rights—and Arbitration—which focuses on private contractual autonomy—can be highly complex. Calcutta Corporate provides comprehensive advisory and representation services to help you seamlessly handle corporate litigation, debt recovery, insolvency resolution, and arbitral proceedings, ensuring your legal strategy is robust and aligned with the latest judicial precedents.
