Labour & Employment

Employment law in India is layered across a large number of statutes, and the obligations it places on employers are specific and enforceable. Non-compliance is not always visible until it becomes a dispute or a government inspection. By then, the cost — financial and operational — is significantly higher than it needed to be.

We advise employers on their compliance obligations across the full range of applicable labour legislation. We draft employment documentation, design internal policies, conduct compliance audits, and represent clients in employment disputes before courts and tribunals.

We also advise specifically on the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act — assisting organisations in constituting Internal Complaints Committees, conducting training sessions, and ensuring that policies and procedures meet the Act’s requirements. Our team has experience serving on Internal Complaints Committees for a number of organisations.
