Employment

Overview

With a trusted reputation for excellence, our Employment practice understands the critical importance of employee matters and the associated risks businesses face today. We work closely with industry stakeholders to help clients across sectors identify, plan, and implement effective employment strategies that minimize risk while balancing diverse and often conflicting interests.

 

We advise businesses of all sizes—from startups to large corporations—across a wide range of industries on complex labour and employment law issues. Our approach combines deep legal knowledge, commercial acumen, and practical insight to deliver tailored solutions that address the evolving employment landscape in India.

 

Our comprehensive services include advisory support, documentation, and transaction-specific guidance on matters such as hiring, benefit structuring, and termination. We regularly assist with employment agreements, employee handbooks, codes of conduct, benefit plans, ESOPs and stock incentive schemes, consultancy and contractor agreements, and employment policies—including those on sexual harassment prevention, leave entitlements, and severance.

 

We also provide strategic counsel on CXO hiring and exits, incentive structuring, secondment, deputation, and confidentiality arrangements. Our team is adept at handling whistle-blower complaints, employee disputes, disciplinary inquiries, grievance redressal, and workplace health and safety issues. We support clients in navigating workforce restructuring, staff reclassification, and alternate employment models such as contract labour.

 

Our lawyers frequently represent clients before labour forums, courts, and regulators, ensuring effective advocacy and resolution. We also conduct regular training sessions on workplace ethics, anti-bribery, equal opportunity, data sensitivity, and sexual harassment prevention—reinforcing our commitment to fostering compliant, ethical, and inclusive work environments.

 

In addition, we offer commercially efficient advice on employment law aspects of strategic corporate actions and transactions, including business and asset transfers, ownership changes (including court-approved schemes), insolvency resolutions, and establishment closures. Our work includes drafting consent letters, tripartite agreements, and communications related to changes in service conditions.

 

To deliver holistic support, our Employment practice integrates seamlessly with other key practice areas such as General Corporate and M&A, Dispute Resolution, Tax, Insolvency and Restructuring, Information Technology, Data Protection, and Intellectual Property. This collaborative approach ensures our clients receive end-to-end legal solutions tailored to their business needs.
