About us

We advise and represent individuals, families and businesses in Coimbatore in consumer, bail, family, land and property, and commercial matters, and we help employers meet their obligations under the PoSH Act through audits, committee set-up and training.

The firm was founded by Dr. R. Chinnaswamy, M.A., M.A., B.L., IPS (Retd.), an enrolled advocate whose long experience in the criminal justice system and in public administration led him to start a practice focused on resolving disputes fairly and early. He founded it with his son, Advocate Adhithyan C., B.A. LL.B. (Hons), and daughter-in-law, Mrs. N. Ilakkiya, B.C.A., LL.B. (Hons), LL.M. Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.A. Nakkiran, a retired Judge of the High Court of Madras, is Senior Consultant to the firm and a panel arbitrator. Meet the team

Our advocates practise before the District Court and the other courts in Coimbatore, and before the High Court of Madras at Chennai, which hears appeals, revisions, writ petitions and bail matters from Coimbatore district. The office is in Perur, Coimbatore.

Resolution over escalation

We look for the quickest fair end to a dispute, and treat a court case as one tool among several rather than the default.

Candid advice

We tell clients plainly what the law, the documents and the time limits allow, including when a claim is weak or a settlement offer is reasonable.

Confidentiality

What clients tell us stays with us. Family and workplace matters in particular are handled with discretion.

Clarity

We explain each step in plain language, keep clients informed as a matter moves, and agree the scope of our work at the outset.

Every matter starts with understanding: the documents, the facts, the applicable law and what the client actually needs from the outcome. From there we work through four stages, moving to the next only when the earlier one has not produced a fair result.

1. Assessment

   A review of the papers and a candid opinion on rights, risks, costs and time limits.

2. Notice and negotiation

   A legal notice that sets out the claim clearly, followed by structured discussions with the other side or their advocate.

3. Mediation or conciliation

   Private or court-annexed mediation, or conciliation under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, with the outcome recorded in an enforceable settlement.

4. Adjudication

   Filing before the appropriate court, consumer commission, tribunal or arbitral tribunal, and pursuing the case to a decision.

Settlement is not always the right first move. Where a limitation period is about to run out, where safety is at risk, or where urgent orders are needed, we file first and continue to explore settlement alongside the case.

As advocates, we follow the Bar Council of India Rules on professional conduct. In practice, this means:

• We do not advertise or solicit work. This website provides information about the firm to those who look for it.
• We do not promise or guarantee outcomes.
• We check for conflicts of interest before accepting a matter, and decline work where a conflict exists.
• Communications with clients are kept confidential and are protected by law.
