NRI & Expatriate Services

Non-resident Indians are often unaware of the rights they can legally enforce in matters of property, taxation and banking, and can find themselves tied up in disputes in India that are complex, expensive and stressful. DBL Legal Solutions assists NRIs, foreign nationals and Persons of Indian Origin in managing their legal disputes and resolving issues both in and outside India, quickly and effectively — from property disputes and partition of ancestral property to divorce, child custody and transfer of property.

We also provide legal and consultancy services to expatriates and foreign nationals living and working in India. The growth of multinational companies and foreign direct investment has brought with it unusual and complex legal issues for non-Indians in India, and our service is designed to make it easier for expatriates to settle here. We provide systematic legal guidance, and strategise and resolve complicated disputes through the proper court approach and the necessary paperwork.
