Contracts & Commercial Agreements

Employment & Service Agreements

Comprehensive employment contracts, service agreements, and HR policy documentation for corporates.

Overview

Employment documentation is the foundation of every corporate workforce. A poorly drafted employment contract creates disputes over IP ownership, notice periods, non-compete enforceability, and severance. Corpus Juris Legal drafts employment documentation that protects the employer while remaining enforceable under Indian labour law.

Key Service Components

  • Employment contracts — senior and junior levels
  • Consulting and independent contractor agreements
  • Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses
  • IP assignment and confidentiality provisions
  • ESOP agreements
  • Joining and separation documentation
  • HR policy manual drafting
  • Probation and performance management policies

Why This Matters for Your Business

Indian courts have limited the enforceability of overbroad non-compete clauses. The scope of IP assignment and the definition of "confidential information" determine whether departing employees can walk away with your business.

Our Approach

We draft employment documentation that is enforceable — not just comprehensive. Our clauses are tested against Indian case law, not copied from US templates.
