Corporate entities in India operate within a complex web of fiscal regulations — from customs duties and excise obligations to corporate compliance requirements under the Companies Act. Disputes arising in these areas often involve regulatory adjudication before Commissioners, Appellate Authorities, and Tribunals, with further appeals before High Courts. Shams Legal LLP has experience across this spectrum, developed through decades of practice in FERA, FEMA, Customs, and corporate law matters.
Dr. Shamsuddin's career encompasses more than 100 research papers and presentations on socio-legal and socio-economic issues relating to FERA, FEMA, Customs, and Corporate Laws. That academic engagement with the law reflects a depth of understanding that goes beyond case-by-case practice — it shapes how the firm advises on compliance strategy, dispute risk, and the broader regulatory environment in which businesses operate.
We advise businesses on customs classification disputes, valuation issues, anti-dumping investigations, and regulatory compliance. We represent clients in proceedings before Commissioners (Appeals), the Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), and High Courts in fiscal matters. We also provide legal opinions on corporate governance questions and the interface between corporate law and regulatory enforcement
