Employment & Labour Law
People are a company's most valuable asset—and its most significant source of legal risk. At Oberoi & Partners, we advise companies on employment law, workforce structuring, and workplace compliance, helping them build legally sound, scalable, and dispute-resistant organisations.
Our employment and labour law practice supports businesses across the employee lifecycle—from hiring and contracting to workplace policies, compliance, and exits. We work closely with founders, HR teams, and management to ensure that employment frameworks are commercially practical, regulator-ready, and aligned with company culture.
We regularly advise startups, media agencies, tech companies, and growing businesses that require clear documentation and ongoing compliance support, often acting as an extension of their internal HR and legal function.
