Public & Private Sector Banks
Law Firm Empanelment for Banks
Banks operating across Mumbai, Thane and the wider MMR need panel counsel who can move between the Debt Recovery Tribunal, the Magistrate's court under Section 14 SARFAESI, cheque-bounce trial courts and the Bombay High Court without handing the file to a stranger. APS Law offers a compact, partner-attended panel engagement for branch-level and regional recovery work.
