Litigation & Dispute Resolution
White-Collar Crime
& Economic Offences
Regulatory Investigations, Bail & Quashing. In India’s evolving criminal landscape, white-collar matters demand a measured legal response, grounded in the new BNS and BNSS frameworks alongside specialized financial and technology statutes.
I. Honest Counsel in Investigative Proceedings
The VCL Stance:Investigations by agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) require a measured legal response rather than reactive engagement. Proceedings are governed by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) and the BNSS, alongside the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA).
