SENIOR PARTNER
“Two specialist practices, one institutional discipline. Debt recovery and white-collar criminal defence are statute-driven domains that reward depth over breadth — and most matters at the Delhi High Court today touch both.”

Advocate Subodh Bajpai founded Unified Chambers and Associates with a focused practice in institutional debt recovery. That focus has translated into appearances across all 39 Debt Recovery Tribunals, every DRAT, the NCLT, the Delhi High Court, and the Supreme Court of India.

The firm has since extended into white-collar criminal defence — PMLA, ED, CBI, EOW, and bank-fraud matters — built on the firm's existing banking-litigation foundation. Many criminal matters before the Delhi High Court today originate as banking events; counsel who already understand the underlying SARFAESI, IBC, and DRT proceedings carry contextual fluency that pure-criminal counsel often lack.

His dual postgraduate credentials — an LLM in law and an MBA in Finance from XLRI Jamshedpur — give both practices a rare analytical edge. Banking documentation, NPA classifications, financial covenants, security structures, money-laundering investigations, and the Section 45 PMLA twin-test are understood not just legally, but commercially.
