Keystone Partners’ criminal litigation practice complements the Firm’s white collar and investigations work, focusing on trial advocacy, strategic defence, and victim representation in a wide range of criminal proceedings — including matters involving sector-specific penal regimes, customary practices with criminal-law implications, child sexual offences, and the criminal-law overlay of commercial and regulatory disputes.
The team appears regularly before the trial courts, sessions courts, the High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India in proceedings including bail and anticipatory bail applications, quashing and discharge proceedings, framing of charges, trial advocacy, and appeals. The Firm prioritises confidentiality, speed, and clear-headed strategy in matters where the stakes for the client — personal, professional, or commercial — are at their highest.
