Banking & Securitisation

Keystone Partners has a robust practice in banking and securitisation-related disputes, representing a broad range of stakeholders — including banks, non-banking finance companies, funds, institutional lenders, and debenture trustees on the creditor side, and corporate borrowers, promoters, guarantors, and third-party security providers on the borrower side. Our experience spans the full spectrum of recovery and security enforcement actions, insolvency proceedings, and high-stakes commercial disputes arising from lending arrangements.

We provide strategic counsel on issues arising from loan defaults and anticipated defaults, debt restructuring, breaches of covenants, and the enforcement of security interests. Our expertise encompasses proceedings under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (SARFAESI), recovery actions before the Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs), and insolvency matters under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). We also represent clients in arbitration proceedings, commercial suits, writ petitions, and Special Leave Petitions arising from disputes under lending arrangements.

Our team is adept at navigating complex financial regulations and advocating for clients in high-value disputes involving questions of validity and priority of security interests, creditor rights enforcement, and the exercise of remedies under loan documents. We bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to each mandate — working closely with clients to identify avenues with realistic prospects of success and to deploy remedies that provide meaningful leverage in commercial negotiations.
