Led by Adv. Amarendra Kumar Dubey, we represent partners on both sides of a dispute — those seeking exit and accounts, and those defending against unfounded claims.
Filing or defending dissolution suits under the Indian Partnership Act — whether by mutual consent, court order on just and equitable grounds, or on a partner's misconduct — and settling what happens to firm assets and liabilities afterward.
Get Help →Suits to compel a co-partner or the firm to render full accounts — capital contributions, drawings, profits, and firm assets — so a partner's true entitlement on exit or dissolution can be established and enforced.
Get Help →Disputes over how profits are computed, allocated or withheld between partners, including disagreements arising from ambiguous or outdated partnership deed clauses that no longer reflect how the business actually operates.
Get Help →Claims against a partner for misuse of firm funds, unauthorised transactions, breach of fiduciary duty, or acting outside the scope of the partnership deed — including urgent applications to protect firm assets pending trial.
Get Help →Advising on and litigating disputed expulsions, forced retirements, and voluntary exits — including whether an expulsion clause in the deed was validly invoked and what a retiring partner is owed on exit.
Get Help →Disputes involving Limited Liability Partnerships — contribution disagreements, winding up, and governance disputes under the LLP Act, 2008 — including advising on whether your matter belongs before a civil court or the NCLT.
Get Help →Most partnership disputes in Delhi are governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 — but the details of your partnership deed, and whether your firm is registered, decide what remedies are actually open to you.
Registering a partnership firm under the Indian Partnership Act is optional, but an unregistered firm and its partners face serious restrictions on their ability to sue — this is the single most important fact to establish before any dispute is litigated.
Even if a firm was never registered, partners retain the right to sue for dissolution of the firm and for rendition of accounts of a dissolved firm — the law's built-in exception to the registration bar.
Profit-sharing ratios, grounds for expulsion, retirement notice periods, and dispute resolution clauses are all governed first by your partnership deed, and only fall back on the Act's default rules where the deed is silent.
Where a partnership dispute meets the specified value threshold, it can be tried on the faster commercial track under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, rather than as an ordinary, slower-moving civil suit.
On January 17, 2025, the Supreme Court held in Sunkari Tirumala Rao & Ors. v. Penki Aruna Kumari that Section 69(1) of the Indian Partnership Act is mandatory in character — a partner of an unregistered firm simply cannot maintain a suit against another partner to enforce a contractual right, even where the firm's business had not yet commenced. The exceptions for dissolution and accounts remain, but everything else can be shut out at the threshold. We check your firm's registration status before advising on any strategy.
Sunkari Tirumala Rao & Ors. v. Penki Aruna Kumari, 2025 INSC 92Adv. Amarendra Kumar Dubey, Founder & Managing Partner of Global Vision Law Firm, brings over 15 years of litigation experience handling partnership disputes across the Delhi High Court, District Commercial Courts and arbitral forums — from clean, amicable dissolutions to hard-fought disputes over mismanaged firm assets.
The single biggest factor in how a partnership dispute plays out is what we find in your first meeting — the deed, the firm's registration status, and the real financial picture. Most of our strongest case strategies come directly out of that first review.
Our core practice covers Delhi's civil and Commercial Courts. We also advise partners and firms with disputes connected to Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad, guiding clients to the correct forum before any suit is filed.
A clear, transparent process for resolving your partnership dispute.
We review your partnership deed, firm registration status, and the facts of your dispute to identify what remedies are genuinely available to you.
We explain whether negotiation, arbitration, or litigation is the right route, identify the correct forum, and provide a transparent written fee estimate.
Drafting of the plaint, notice, or settlement terms, backed by careful assembly of financial records, correspondence, and evidence of each partner's contribution and conduct.
Filing at the correct forum and representing you through every hearing, whether before a civil court, Commercial Court, arbitral tribunal, or the NCLT for LLP matters.
Pursuing a favourable outcome through to final accounts, decree, or settlement — and following through on enforcement so the outcome is real, not just on paper.

Discreet, precise handling of disputes between people who were once business partners.
Over 15 years of litigation experience handling partnership and business disputes across the Delhi High Court, District Commercial Courts and arbitral forums.
We verify your firm's registration status and deed terms before advising on strategy, so you're never caught off guard by a Section 69 objection mid-litigation.
Partnership disputes often involve people who were once close collaborators or family. We handle these matters with the discretion and professionalism they require.
You can visit our Delhi office, meet your lawyer, and go through your partnership deed and accounts face-to-face.
We pursue negotiated settlement wherever it genuinely serves your interest, but prepare every matter as if it will go the distance in court.
Feedback from partners and firms we've represented in partnership disputes.
"My co-partner had been withdrawing far more than his share for years and refused to show accounts. The team filed for rendition of accounts and dissolution, and we finally got a clear, enforceable settlement.
"We didn't even know our firm was never formally registered until Adv. Dubey's team flagged it in our first meeting. That single fact completely changed our strategy — and probably saved the case.
"Our partnership was ending, but we wanted it done cleanly without a bitter courtroom battle. The team negotiated a fair exit and asset division, and handled the paperwork professionally throughout.
Common questions from partners about partnership disputes in Delhi.
Generally, no. Section 69(1) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 bars a partner of an unregistered firm from filing a suit to enforce a contractual or statutory right against the firm or another partner. The Supreme Court reaffirmed this mandatory bar in Sunkari Tirumala Rao v. Penki Aruna Kumari (2025 INSC 92, decided January 17, 2025). The main exceptions are suits for dissolution of the firm and rendition of accounts of a dissolved firm, which remain maintainable even if the firm was never registered.
Partnership disputes fall within the specific categories of "commercial dispute" listed in the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, provided the specified value of the claim meets the applicable pecuniary threshold. Where it qualifies, the dispute is heard on the faster commercial track rather than as an ordinary civil suit.
A traditional partnership is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 and disputes are ordinarily litigated as civil or commercial suits before civil courts. An LLP is governed by the LLP Act, 2008, and matters relating to its winding up, contribution, and certain governance disputes may fall within the jurisdiction of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) rather than a civil court, depending on the relief sought.
Yes, if the partnership deed contains a valid arbitration clause covering the dispute. Many partnership deeds include such clauses, in which case a court will typically refer the parties to arbitration under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act if either party raises the objection, rather than trying the dispute itself.
On dissolution, the Indian Partnership Act sets out the order in which firm assets are applied — first to third-party debts, then to advances made by partners, then to return of capital, with any surplus divided among partners according to their agreed profit-sharing ratio. A rendition of accounts suit is typically required to establish exactly what each partner is owed before final division.
