Tailored Strategies for Mining Resilience
Jurisiti Legal LLP offers a meticulously crafted suite of legal services, designed to meet the diverse and complex needs of the mines and minerals ecosystem:

Mining Contracts

We excel in drafting and negotiating exploration, extraction, and royalty agreements. For example, in 2024, we structured a ₹150 crore mining lease deal for a leading coal operator, aligning with MMDR Act provisions and optimizing royalty terms.

Mining Disputes

Leveraging our Supreme Court expertise—5 AORs and 15 Senior Advocates—we litigate complex matters such as land ownership, royalty disagreements, and environmental violations. In 2024, we resolved a ₹90 crore environmental dispute for a mining firm, upheld by the Supreme Court.

Regulatory Compliance

We ensure adherence to mining regulations under the Mines Rules, 1955, environmental standards via the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006, and safety protocols enforced by the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS), mitigating risks across operations.

Land Acquisition & Rights

We advise on land use, mining leases, and mineral rights under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, securing lawful access to resources.

Cross-Border Mining Issues

Supported by our 75 advocates across 25+ jurisdictions, we manage multinational mining projects, trade agreements, and disputes, harmonizing diverse regulatory frameworks.

Sustainability in Mining

We guide clients on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance, securing approvals under the Sustainable Development Framework (SDF) and promoting responsible extraction practices.
