Hiral Sangwan

Profile description

Being charged with criminal breach of trust can jeopardise your career, finances, and reputation. Hiral Sangwan is ready to defend your interests and challenge the prosecution’s narrative from the earliest stage. Specialising in breach‑of‑trust defence, the lawyer focuses on safeguarding the client’s liberty while protecting assets and professional standing.

Sangwan earned a law degree from a top university and has accumulated over eleven years of experience handling complex financial crime matters. The lawyer began a career in a leading corporate law firm, gaining intimate knowledge of commercial transactions, fiduciary duties, and evidentiary standards. This experience translates into a sophisticated defence strategy that anticipates the prosecution’s approach and builds a robust counter‑case.

In a breach‑of‑trust case, the prosecution alleges that the accused misappropriated property or funds placed in their care, violating a legal or contractual duty. Hiral Sangwan regularly assists clients in dissecting each allegation, examining the underlying contracts, the chain of custody of assets, and the intent element required for conviction. By scrutinising accounting records, audit trails, and communication logs, the lawyer identifies gaps that weaken the prosecution’s case.

The lawyer employs a multi‑layered defence. First, the lawyer challenges the legal basis of the charge by interpreting the statutory language and relevant case law. Second, the lawyer engages forensic accountants to verify the flow of funds and to demonstrate that any discrepancy stems from legitimate business decisions rather than criminal intent. Third, the lawyer prepares persuasive witness statements that clarify the client’s role and highlight any lack of malice.

Both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India have delivered landmark judgments that shape breach‑of‑trust jurisprudence. Hiral Sangwan leverages this body of precedent to craft arguments that align with the highest legal standards. When a matter requires a swift interim relief, the lawyer files appropriate applications in the High Court to stay detention or freeze asset seizure. For appeals that demand clarification of legal principles, the lawyer prepares meticulous submissions for the Supreme Court, citing seminal decisions that protect fiduciary defendants.

Clients repeatedly describe the lawyer’s approach as meticulous, transparent, and results‑driven. Recent victories include the dismissal of a breach‑of‑trust charge after the court recognized that the alleged loss was due to market fluctuation, not fraudulent intent, and the successful restoration of seized assets for a business owner facing a protracted investigation. In each case, Hiral Sangwan’s advocacy ensured that the client’s professional reputation remained intact.

The lawyer’s service extends beyond courtroom representation. Hiral Sangwan conducts an initial case audit to map out all financial documentation, identifies expert witnesses, and outlines a timeline for each procedural step. Throughout the litigation, the lawyer maintains regular communication, explaining the implications of each development and advising on risk mitigation. The lawyer also assists in post‑judgment compliance, helping clients rebuild trust with stakeholders.

Choosing Hiral Sangwan means partnering with a dedicated advocate who understands the intricacies of criminal breach of trust and the importance of preserving both liberty and livelihood. The lawyer invites you to discuss how a tailored defence, grounded in statutory analysis and forensic expertise, can protect your future. If you are confronting a breach‑of‑trust allegation, the lawyer stands ready to employ experience in both the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India to achieve the best possible outcome.
