We are associated with firms of solicitors and advocates based in India and have access to both solicitors and barristers who have represented and/or advised clients that are based in the United Kingdom/India on both family and civil law matters.

We are able to deal with matters in the Indian courts on behalf of non-resident Indians (NRI’s). We have access to a wealth of Indian legal professionals who are both qualified in India and in England and Wales.

We are able to gather evidence and have investigations carried out in India, including witness tracing and obtaining statements from witnesses for use in both civil and family cases in the United Kingdom.

We can deal with dowries and property disputes

In general Indian statute confers very different rules to marriage and divorce in relation to the parties personal circumstances. The two main areas of Indian statute concerning divorce and family law in India are governed by their Hindu marriage act, this sets out the laws governing marriage between Hindus; there is the Muslim marriages ordinance act which governs marriage between Muslims. At Lovell Chohan solicitors we are able to deal with complicated Indian legislation dealing with dowries, domestic violence and property disputes (including matrimonial assets and land disputes).
