NCLT / NCLAT Matters
Overview – NCLT / NCLAT Matters
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) are specialized quasi-judicial bodies established under the Companies Act, 2013, to adjudicate corporate and company law disputes in India.
NCLT is the adjudicating authority for matters related to company law such as mergers and acquisitions, corporate insolvency resolution, winding up, oppression and mismanagement cases, and other corporate governance issues.
NCLAT serves as the appellate authority against orders passed by NCLT and other bodies such as the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI).
These tribunals provide a faster, specialized forum for resolving complex corporate disputes and ensuring compliance with legal provisions, promoting ease of doing business.
At Cardiff Services, we offer expert guidance and representation for all types of NCLT and NCLAT matters, helping companies navigate legal challenges efficiently and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
A company name search ensures that your chosen business name is unique, legally compliant, and not already registered with Companies House UK. It helps you avoid legal disputes, trademark issues, and confusion in the Cardiff business market.
If your desired name is already registered, you’ll need to choose a different name or modify it. Using a taken name could result in rejection by Companies House or potential legal issues. Our experts can help you brainstorm alternative names that are compliant and market-ready.
It’s not advisable to use a name that’s too similar to another company, especially within the same industry. Similar names can confuse customers and risk trademark disputes. A company name search helps you identify these risks early.
For a company name search in Cardiff, you may need:
Proposed company name
Business entity type (Ltd, LLP, Partnership, etc.)
Jurisdiction (Cardiff / UK)
Owner or shareholder details (if applicable)
Business description
A “high probability” result means your proposed company name is likely to be available, but further checks are recommended. This is why our detailed Cardiff Company Name Search Report includes both identical and similar names for clarity.
Certain words are restricted under UK law (e.g., “bank,” “insurance,” “government”). If you want to use them, you’ll need special approval from regulatory bodies. We guide you through this process if your Cardiff business requires such terms
