The Commercial Courts Act, 2015: Revolutionising Commercial Litigation in India

The Commercial Courts Act, 2015 has fundamentally transformed how commercial litigation is conducted in India. By creating a specialised legal framework for business-related disputes, the Act has streamlined the resolution process, reduced dependency on expensive arbitration, and ensured quicker outcomes for businesses.

At Ghamdaan Law Firm, we specialise in representing clients in complex commercial disputes, high-stakes corporate lawsuits, and intricate business litigation before Commercial Courts in Delhi and across India.

How the Commercial Courts Act Changed the Game

The introduction of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 marked a major reform in India’s dispute resolution system. Its main aim is to establish dedicated commercial courts and commercial divisions within High Courts, focusing exclusively on resolving commercial disputes swiftly and effectively.
