Areas Of Practice

Employment Law

The standard course of business attracts the necessity for formalizing executive compensation structures, ESOPs, drafting employment agreements and frameworks for negotiating terms and conducting disciplinary procedures, among other policy issues. Compliance of the orders of conciliation officers, labour courts, and industrial tribunals at national and state level is something that day-to-day operations need to be reviewed for.

Fairness and compliance by conducting thorough reviews of regulatory guidelines while also optimizing competitiveness within budget constraints would be necessary to create a fair, yet competitive, organization culture. Clarity and precision to protect and communicate the rights of employees has to be kept in mind for drafting employment agreements. While precise procedural adherence will minimize legal risks in managing disciplinary actions.
