With the labour law landscape in India undergoing myriad transitions and as more foreign companies are establishing and expanding their presence in India, the Indian government has been active in raising the bar on various matters related to labour and employment by tightening existing rules and legislations.

Our team of experienced lawyers at Mulberry Law are approached by domestic and international clients and authorities for their nuanced understanding of how employee matters can expose businesses to significant risks, and for their in-depth knowledge and experience, industry expertise and ability to provide commercially oriented and practical advice to our clients on areas and events around business sale and acquisitions, change of ownership, employee benefits including equity based incentive schemes, employment agreements and policies, workplace diversity and discrimination issues.
