Advocates & Lawyers in Kolkata for Criminal, Civil, Matrimonial & Property Matters.
Chanda Associates is a team of advocates practising before the courts at Kolkata and Alipore.
About the firm
Chanda Associates, Advocates & Solicitors, is a litigation practice based in Kolkata, appearing before the Civil and Criminal Courts at Alipore, the Sessions Courts of South 24 Parganas, the Additional District and Sessions Judge at Sealdah, and the Calcutta High Court.
The firm’s practice spans matrimonial and family law, criminal defence, civil litigation, property and conveyancing, consumer disputes and commercial arbitration. It is led by Advocate Jewel Chanda, a former Judicial Officer of the West Bengal Judicial Service, who holds a postgraduate degree in Business Laws and brings to the firm’s work the perspective of one who has decided cases from the bench before arguing them at the bar.
Our approach to litigation is that a case is won through preparation — thorough command of the facts, precision in drafting and pleading, and, in trial matters, the art of cross-examination. Where a dispute can be resolved by settlement, we pursue that resolution; where it must be contested, we prepare for the long road with the diligence it demands.
Areas of Practice
The firm's work is organised in the following principal areas of practice.
Criminal Litigation
Bail and anticipatory bail, sessions trial defence, NDPS and POCSO matters, and criminal appeals before the courts at Alipore, Sealdah and the Calcutta High Court.
