CLIENT BACKGROUND

• The client was a multinational enterprise with operations across multiple jurisdictions, including India, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. The organization operated across diverse business verticals, including infrastructure, technology-enabled services, financial operations, and large-scale commercial contracting.
• The client had entered into numerous long-term commercial arrangements with customers, vendors, joint venture partners, lenders, and government-linked entities. Over time, these relationships generated disputes relating to contractual performance, payment obligations, regulatory compliance, project delays, and termination rights.
• The client was also subject to regulatory oversight and enforcement actions in certain jurisdictions. In addition, legacy disputes arising from acquisitions and restructuring exercises continued to pose legal and reputational challenges.
• Senior leadership recognized that disputes were being managed in a fragmented and reactive manner, often escalating unnecessarily and consuming significant management time. There was limited alignment between legal strategy, commercial objectives, and risk tolerance.
• SIRI Law LLP was engaged as lead dispute resolution counsel to rationalize the client’s litigation portfolio, manage ongoing disputes, and develop a coherent litigation and dispute resolution strategy aligned with business priorities.

ENGAGEMENT OBJECTIVES

• The engagement was structured around several key objectives.
• The first objective was to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the client’s litigation and dispute landscape, including pending cases, potential claims, and contingent liabilities.
• The second objective was to develop a clear dispute management strategy that aligned legal action with commercial and reputational considerations.
• The third objective was to strengthen internal governance, reporting, and decision-making around disputes.
• The fourth objective was to manage high-value and high-risk disputes through effective advocacy, negotiation, and procedural control.
• The fifth objective was to reduce future dispute exposure through contract design, risk allocation, and dispute avoidance mechanisms.
• The engagement was positioned as an ongoing strategic partnership rather than a case-by-case representation.

BUSINESS AND DISPUTE CONTEXT

• The client operated in a complex commercial and regulatory environment where disputes were often unavoidable. Long-term contracts, capital-intensive projects, and multi-party arrangements increased the likelihood of disagreements.
• Regulatory scrutiny had intensified, and enforcement actions carried reputational implications beyond financial exposure. Courts and tribunals faced significant backlogs, increasing the importance of procedural strategy and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
• At the same time, business leadership required disputes to be managed efficiently, with minimal disruption to operations and customer relationships.
• SIRI Law LLP approached the engagement with the understanding that litigation strategy must be aligned with business realities, risk appetite, and long-term objectives.

PHASE ONE: DISPUTE LANDSCAPE ASSESSMENT AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW

• The first phase involved conducting a comprehensive assessment of the client’s dispute landscape.
• SIRI Law LLP reviewed all ongoing litigation, arbitration, regulatory proceedings, and pre-litigation disputes. This included analyzing pleadings, evidence, procedural status, exposure, and likelihood of success.
• The firm also assessed potential disputes that had not yet crystallized into formal proceedings, including contractual notices, regulatory correspondence, and internal risk reports.
• Each dispute was categorized based on value, complexity, forum, jurisdiction, and strategic importance. This enabled prioritization and resource allocation.
• The assessment revealed a wide range of disputes, including commercial contract claims, shareholder disputes, regulatory enforcement actions, recovery proceedings, and employment-related litigation. Many matters lacked a clearly articulated strategy beyond immediate procedural response.
• This phase provided leadership with a consolidated and transparent view of litigation risk.

PHASE TWO: LITIGATION STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

• Based on the portfolio review, SIRI Law LLP developed a litigation and dispute resolution strategy.
• The strategy focused on aligning dispute outcomes with business objectives. Not all disputes warranted aggressive litigation; some were better resolved through negotiation or settlement. Others required firm enforcement to protect precedent or deter future claims.
• SIRI Law LLP worked with senior management to define risk tolerance, settlement authority, and escalation protocols. Decision-making frameworks were introduced to guide whether to litigate, settle, arbitrate, or pursue alternative dispute resolution.
• Governance mechanisms were established to ensure regular reporting, review, and oversight of disputes. This included standardized reporting formats, periodic review meetings, and clear accountability.

PHASE THREE: MANAGEMENT OF HIGH-STAKES COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

• A significant portion of the engagement involved managing high-value commercial litigation.
• SIRI Law LLP represented the client in disputes arising from large commercial contracts, including claims for breach, termination, delay, and non-payment. These disputes often involved complex factual matrices and technical evidence.
• The firm developed detailed case strategies, including pleadings, evidence management, and procedural planning. Emphasis was placed on early identification of strengths and weaknesses, enabling informed decision-making.
• SIRI Law LLP coordinated with technical experts, internal stakeholders, and external counsel where required. The firm ensured consistency in legal positions across related proceedings.
• Procedural tactics were used to control timelines, manage costs, and apply pressure where appropriate.

PHASE FOUR: ARBITRATION AND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

• Many disputes were subject to arbitration clauses or suitable for alternative dispute resolution.
• SIRI Law LLP acted as counsel in domestic and international arbitrations, managing proceedings from initiation through award enforcement. The firm advised on arbitrator selection, procedural strategy, and evidence presentation.
• Where appropriate, SIRI Law LLP advised on mediation and negotiated settlement. The firm supported structured negotiations, balancing legal rights with commercial outcomes.
• This approach resolved several disputes efficiently, reducing cost and preserving business relationships.

PHASE FIVE: REGULATORY AND ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

• The client faced regulatory actions and enforcement proceedings in certain jurisdictions.
• SIRI Law LLP advised on responding to regulatory notices, investigations, and adjudication proceedings. The firm assessed legal exposure, procedural options, and reputational impact.
• Engagement with regulators was carefully managed to ensure consistency, transparency, and legal defensibility. Where possible, the firm supported negotiated resolutions and compliance remediation.
• In cases where enforcement action was unavoidable, SIRI Law LLP represented the client through adjudication and appellate processes.

PHASE SIX: RECOVERY, ENFORCEMENT, AND DEFENSIVE STRATEGY

• SIRI Law LLP advised on recovery actions against defaulting counterparties, including initiation of legal proceedings, enforcement of security, and insolvency-related remedies.
• The firm also developed defensive strategies to resist unmeritorious claims, including jurisdictional challenges, limitation defenses, and procedural objections.
• This balanced approach protected the client’s interests while managing cost and risk.

PHASE SEVEN: MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL AND COMPLEX DISPUTES

• Certain disputes spanned multiple jurisdictions or involved parallel proceedings.
• SIRI Law LLP coordinated strategy across forums, ensuring consistency in legal positions and avoiding conflicting outcomes. The firm worked with foreign counsel where required, acting as central strategic coordinator.
• This reduced fragmentation and improved control over complex dispute landscapes.

PHASE EIGHT: DISPUTE AVOIDANCE AND CONTRACTUAL RISK MITIGATION

• Beyond managing existing disputes, SIRI Law LLP focused on reducing future exposure.
• The firm reviewed standard contracts and risk allocation mechanisms. Recommendations were provided to strengthen dispute resolution clauses, limitation of liability provisions, and termination rights.
• Lessons learned from litigation were fed back into contract design and negotiation practices.

PHASE NINE: INTERNAL TRAINING AND CAPABILITY BUILDING

• Recognizing that disputes often arise from operational misunderstandings, SIRI Law LLP conducted targeted training for business and management teams.
• Training focused on contract management, dispute escalation, evidence preservation, and communication discipline.
• This improved internal readiness and reduced inadvertent risk creation.

OUTCOMES AND VALUE DELIVERED

• The engagement delivered significant value.
• The client achieved clarity and control over its dispute portfolio. High-risk disputes were actively managed with clear strategies and governance oversight.
• Several disputes were resolved through favorable judgments, arbitral awards, or negotiated settlements. Litigation costs were better controlled through prioritization and procedural discipline.

• Most importantly, dispute management became aligned with business strategy rather than operating as a reactive legal function.

MATURITY PROGRESSION AND STRATEGIC IMPACT
