Our Human Resources Law (Employment and Labour) practice provides advice and assistance on legal, tax and regulatory issues in connection with workforce management. In the Indian context, employment law includes a plethora of central (federal) and state specific employment statutes, administrative regulations as well as judicial decisions. Applicability of the statutes is contingent on multiple factors including the industry, nature of work done by the employees, strength of the workforce, remuneration, duration of service, etc.

Having witnessed the growth of new age industries and radical shifts in work culture and workforce management techniques, we have acquired expertise in addressing the challenges faced by organisations in complying with applicable laws.

We advise both domestic and international clients on complex regulatory and legal aspects of employment and labour law and enable our clients to be legally compliant. We are actively involved in drafting and/or reviewing employment documentation and advising on a wide range of labour law issues, including structuring of ESOPs, transfer of employees, employment termination and restrictive covenants in employment arrangements. We also advice on employment issues arising at the time of corporate restructuring, including mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing initiatives and reductions-in-force. We predominantly represent companies and their management on employment related projects and litigation.
