Five practices. One litigation discipline.

A criminal matter, whether the client is facing an allegation or bringing one, moves on a timeline that does not wait for anyone to be ready. Bail applications, custody proceedings, and trial dates carry consequences measured in liberty, not just money, and that changes how a matter should be handled from the first phone call. We represent both defendants and complainants across criminal trial and appellate courts, and we treat every criminal engagement with the urgency it actually requires.

The firm handles a wide range of criminal matters, including violent crime such as murder and rape, defamation, white collar and economic offences, crimes against property, cybercrime, medical negligence, and matters under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment framework and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. We appear before the Supreme Court, State High Courts, and District Courts, as well as before investigative and adjudicating authorities, at every stage from the first investigation through to appeal.

Our work in money laundering matters and proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act has grown substantially, reflecting the increasing complexity and volume of these cases in recent years.

Corporate and commercial disputes rarely stay confined to a single contract clause. A shareholder disagreement, a vendor dispute, or a company sliding toward insolvency each carry commercial stakes well beyond the courtroom, and we litigate them with that context in view. This practice covers the full range of corporate and commercial disputes a business can face, including insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings, where we represent both creditors seeking recovery and companies navigating restructuring or resolution with the same litigation discipline we bring to a contested trial.

Not every dispute needs to go to trial to be resolved properly, and not every dispute that goes to trial needed to. This practice covers civil litigation in the traditional sense as well as the full range of alternative dispute resolution available to a client who wants a faster, less adversarial route to a resolution. Where a contract provides for arbitration, or where mediation offers a genuinely faster path, we represent clients through it with the same rigour we bring to a courtroom, and we advise clients before a dispute exists on how to structure a negotiation so it has a real chance of closing without escalation.

The practice extends to matrimonial disputes and matters arising under divorce law, including custody, maintenance, and the division of marital property, handled with the same discretion and procedural discipline we bring to any other civil matter. We also represent clients in consumer disputes, before consumer forums and commissions, where the stakes are often smaller in isolation but no less significant to the person bringing the claim.

An industrial dispute rarely stays contained to the two parties who started it. A wrongful termination claim, a workplace safety violation, or a wage dispute can escalate into proceedings before a labour court, an industrial tribunal, or a statutory authority, each with its own procedure and its own timeline. We represent both employers and employees in these matters, bringing the same litigation discipline to a labour tribunal that we bring to a civil court.

BNG Partners offers comprehensive intellectual property solutions, built on the view that an intellectual property right is only as strong as a firm's ability to defend it, or to defend a client against someone else's claim to it. We represent clients on both sides of the table: securing and prosecuting trademark, patent, and copyright rights through to registration, and defending clients against infringement actions brought against them. Because the same team handles prosecution and defence, we draft and register with a tested sense of how a right actually holds up once it is challenged in court, not simply how it reads on an application form.
