About the Practice Areas

Banking and financial disputes often move quickly and carry significant procedural and legal consequences — particularly where institutions have already initiated proceedings under SARFAESI, filed applications before Debt Recovery Tribunals, or issued notices of default. Addressing these matters requires a clear understanding of the applicable legal framework, the procedural steps involved, and the documentation required at each stage.

Meti Legal & Advisory provides structured legal assistance across the full range of banking, finance, and insurance matters. Every matter begins with a careful examination of the loan agreement or facility terms, the notices issued, the procedural stage of the matter, and the legal position of the client. The applicable course of action and procedural steps are identified and communicated clearly before any action is taken.

The practice assists individuals, businesses, and organisations with loan and credit facility disputes, NPA and debt restructuring matters, SARFAESI proceedings, DRT and DRAT representation, bank fraud and financial crime matters, guarantee and surety disputes, insurance claim filing and disputes, IRDAI complaints, negotiable instrument matters, UPI and digital payment disputes, CIBIL corrections, and recovery suits by banks and NBFCs.

Throughout every engagement at Meti Legal & Advisory, the procedural stage, documentation requirements, hearing dates, and overall direction of the matter are communicated clearly and regularly to the client.
