Timely Opportunity

Code on Wages, 2019: Salary Review and Restructuring

The Code on Wages, 2019 came into force on 21st November 2025, highlighting a paradigm shift in labour laws. The Code aims to provide a comprehensive law governing wage regulations in India and repeal the four labour codes that were previously in place. That said, due to State-wise rules not yet being in force, Corrida Legal helps you stay compliant by assisting you in restructuring your employees’ wages to remain compliant with the applicable laws. The process involves the following:
  • Scenario-based simulations for labour-code-compliant salary restructuring.
  • Review of allowances, benefits and variable pay from a wage-calculation and compliance perspective.
  • Recommendations on restructuring salary components to align with the Code on Wages.
  • Financial impact comparison pre and post restructuring, along with implementation guidance linked to compensation.
By implementing these changes now, entities can ensure that they are regulatorily compliant and secure protection against future penalties.

Industries We Serve

Sector experience that shortens the learning curve

With our years of experience assisting clients across diverse sectors, we have identified key sectors where we provide services covering not only compliance with corporate and labour laws, but also sector-specific legislation. These sectors are as follows:

Global Capability Centres

Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are established by multinational corporations to undertake functions such as finance, technology, and other operations. We ensure that GCCs are not only compliant with applicable laws in India, but also that their internal documentation is harmonised with the foreign entity to the extent possible.

Foreign Companies & MNCs Operating in India

A foreign company or an MNC operating in India requires a review of all its operations to ensure that it is legally compliant and that its operations do not create potential risks by engaging in activities that fall under the approval route of applicable regulations. At Corrida Legal, we ensure not only that foreign companies and MNCs are legally compliant, but also that the foreign entity faces minimal statutory risk from its operations in India.

Startups, Founders & Venture-Backed

We understand that for start-ups, founders face significant uncertainty regarding regulations. By applying our years of experience, we aim to provide start-ups, founders, and venture-backed companies with certainty regarding statutory compliance, as well as ensure that legal documentation safeguards the client in the event of further expansion.

Manufacturing, Industrial & Engineering

We understand that the manufacturing industry goes through a lot of labour law compliance, as well as other sectoral regulations which may apply to the goods being manufactured. We aim to provide a one-stop window to such organisations in order to ensure that each decision is taken while keeping other regulations applicable to such companies in mind.

Healthcare, HealthTech & Medical Services

Healthcare, health tech and medical services companies face a lot of regulatory requirements arising out of medical testing, labelling and meeting the standards set by the industry. We ensure that each document and product is legally compliant from the very initial stage. We also aim to incorporate relevant provisions to ensure that our client does not face liability arising out of failure to comply with statutory norms by the vendor.

Real Estate, Construction & Infrastructure

The real estate sector is one of the most crucial sectors and the fastest-growing sector in India. The sector is primarily governed by the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. However, each transaction in the real estate sector from our experience requires an in-depth and comprehensive review and due diligence of the existing documents pertaining to a property. In this regard, from our previous experience, we perform our services to provide comprehensive safeguards in our clients' documents from any uncertainty arising out of the ownership of such property.

FMCG, Consumer Brands & Retail

The FMCG sector is a fast-moving industry and thereby any decision which has to be made with respect to legal compliance must be made in an efficient and effective manner while ensuring that the advice is factually correct. We, in our previous roles, have assisted our clients, ensuring that the labelling of the products is correct, the vendor agreement protects our client in case of any indemnity event, and that the brand name of our client is protected.

Staffing, Consulting & Business Services

Staffing, consulting and business service companies serve a major role in the development of our country. We ensure that each document which is drafted for such companies is drafted in a manner which promotes protection and which ensures that the payment is made in a timely manner, the applicable laws are complied with and that there are minimal operational hiccups.

B2B Tech, SaaS & IT/ITES

With B2B Tech, SaaS & IT/ITES companies acting as the primary contributors to Industry 4.0, we understand these companies are in rapid growth, and every second counts in the establishment of the industry. Due to the innovation-driven nature of the industry, we ensure that the documents prepared for such companies are tailored to their business model, safeguard their intellectual property and confidential information, clearly allocate contractual risks, and comply with applicable laws.

Why Clients Trust Us

As a dedicated employment law firm and trusted labour law consultants in India, Corrida Legal helps employers stay compliant, reduce workforce risk and handle sensitive matters with care. Our employment practice spans across ten core areas:

Labour codes compliance & HR audits

Employment law plays a vital role in any organisation, and compliance requires an entity to maintain a thorough overview of its internal functions. Whether analysed from the perspective of existing laws in India or the implementation of the new Labour Codes namely, the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, we provide comprehensive HR audit services to red-flag key issues that must be rectified to mitigate regulatory and/or financial risks. Compliance is all the more essential to prevent operational closure or penalties. We turn complex codes into clear actionable plans and processes.

POSH: training, policy drafting & investigations

As a specialist POSH law firm in India, we deliver end-to-end Prevention of Sexual Harassment compliance which includes POSH policy drafting, IC constitution, employee training, and independent sexual harassment investigations. We also provide experienced external members to our clients to ensure that all Internal Committee (IC) proceedings are legally compliant. Additionally, we assist our clients with filing their annual reports.

Employee contracts & HR policies

Our employee contract drafting and HR policy drafting services in India produce enforceable contracts and handbooks that protect the business. We ensure that the handbook focuses not only on policies that are mandatory under the law, but also on those that assist the organisation in maintaining operational feasibility and promoting workplace safety. This approach is further refined by providing sector-specific policies to our clients.

Labour law licensing & compliance

We manage registrations, returns, and labour law licensing and compliance across states in India, ensuring your organisation stays audit-ready. We review the target entity's operations to determine whether a particular registration is mandatory. This ensures that the entity holds all mandatory licences without incurring unnecessary financial liabilities by registering under regulations that do not apply to it..

Cross-border employment & expatriate management

9 Your Go-to Law Firm in Gurgaon, Delhi & Mumbai — and across India

Corrida Legal is a leading law firm with offices in Gurgaon, Delhi NCR and Mumbai with a strong presence through its engaged counsels across India. As a lead law firm in Gurgaon equipped with corporate and employment lawyers, we serve the country’s busiest corporate hub from our office at Ambience Island, NH-48. In the capital region we act as corporate lawyers in Delhi, and in the west as a corporate law firm in Mumbai with experienced employment lawyers in Mumbai.

We also support clients in Pune, Noida, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad through dedicated location pages and virtual consultations — giving you a senior legal partner wherever your business operates.

Being physically present in Gurgaon, Delhi and Mumbai matters for a corporate and employment law firm: it means quick access to the courts, regulators and registries where your matters are actually decided, and lawyers who know the local practice. For clients elsewhere in India or abroad, our virtual consultation model gives the same senior attention without the travel.

A cost-efficient alternative to an in-house legal team

We understand that finding the right talent and building an entire in-house legal team is an expensive and daunting task. To this end, we at Corrida Legal provide our services under an annual legal retainer model, acting as your outsourced in-house legal team. Under our annual legal retainer model, you will not only have access to senior lawyers in the field, but also have the confidence that you are getting individuals with both legal and operational expertise at a fraction of the cost. Engaging us on an annual legal retainer also spares you from undertaking tasks such as hiring, training, and retaining full-time counsel. For many founders and CFOs weighing an in-house lawyer against a law firm in India, a boutique retainer is the more commercial answer, as it relieves founders of both the legal and operational burdens of hiring an in-house lawyer.

10 Bespoke Corporate Focused Engagement

We ensure that each engagement is not overly burdensome for your organisation and that you are duly informed throughout the process. We understand that each engagement is unique in its scope and requirements, and we therefore offer our services through the three client-friendly models. Our suggested engagement models are:

  • Project based model: We suggest this model of engagement to clients who are seeking advice on a one-time mandate. This model is typically used for services such as drafting or reviewing an agreement, conducting due diligence, and advising on a corporate transaction. We propose this model to businesses that require focused legal assistance for a specific matter without the need for ongoing legal support.
  • Legal retainer: We suggest this model of engagement to clients who are looking for ongoing legal support and through this model, we act as external general counsels/legal team for our clients. We propose this model to clients that are amidst expansion or are in an industry which regularly requires the drafting and negotiation of contracts, the handling of employment-related issues, or prompt legal support as part of their day-to-day operations.
  • Legal consultation: We suggest this model of engagement to clients who are looking for a one-time or introductory legal advice before engaging us for a detailed exercise. We propose this model to clients who are seeking introductory legal advice and support.

Our approach irrespective of the model involves simple steps:

  • Share your matter: The first step is to review the documents and information shared by you to devise a strategy which best meets your end goal.
  • Meet a senior lawyer: We conduct a one-on-one consultation in person or by video conferencing to discuss strategy and expected results.
  • Your ongoing partner: We ensure that you are informed of every development in your matter. This is ensured by appointing a SPOC who is available to assist you throughout the process.

Yes. Corrida Legal has expertise in the field of employment law wherein it provides the services of advising employers on employment contracts, HR policies, employee exits, misconduct, POSH, labour compliance, employees’ salary restructuring, reinforcement of confidentiality clauses and workplace investigations.

The approach is document-led whereby the firm ensures that each and every communication and action of the employer is supported by documents such as the employment agreement, the employee handbook, the internal policies, evidence and other communications.

Corrida Legal provides the service of reviewing each communication to ensure that such principles are covered whilst the entire process is legally compliant.

Yes. Corrida Legal offers monthly retainers for organisations that need recurring legal support.

A retainer can cover contracts, HR advisory, legal notices, policy drafting, compliance advice, pre-dispute strategy, and management-facing legal support, depending on the agreed scope. Corrida Legal, for its monthly legal retainer, acts as the external legal team for its clients, assisting them with day-to-day concerns to ensure legal compliance and risk mitigation. In our experience, the retainer model is beneficial for organisations looking for a comprehensive overview of the legal compliance requirements, specifically if such organisations are unaware of key regulations applicable to them.

Yes. Corrida Legal advises foreign companies on the setting up of operations in India. This is achieved by assisting with the drafting of employment documents, the reviewing of the subsidiary operations framework, parent-subsidiary contracts, compliance, regulatory communications, and day-to-day legal needs.

We support employers with the preparation of the POSH policy, the setting up of the Internal Committee, the appointment of an external member, conducting the POSH training, complaint handling and inquiry documentation.

POSH compliance should not be paper-only and must be operated in a manner which ensures that the workplace offers a safe and collaborative environment for its employees. The policy, committee, training and inquiry process must provide adequate measures to promote a safe workplace before a complaint arises. Corrida Legal ensures that the training conducted by it is interactive in nature and effectively informs the stakeholders of the organisation about their rights and obligations under the applicable laws.

Data privacy must harmonise the data collection and processing mechanisms which are applicable to the use of data in accordance with the website privacy policy, employee data collected during the course of employment, data clauses applicable to the vendor contracts, and AI usage. A well-structured data protection mechanism must ensure that it has provisions pertaining to the data breach response and an actual record of data flow in a business. From an operational perspective, Corrida Legal conducts data mapping for organisations to review and prepare comprehensive policies to ensure legal and operational risk mitigation.

Yes. Corrida Legal drafts legal notices, recovery notices, notice replies, police complaints where required, and pre-dispute communications in a timely manner whilst ensuring that the documents accurately and adequately address the relevant issues and that such communication is legally defensible.

We at Corrida Legal, whilst strategising and drafting legal notices or replies, ensure that each communication is factually and legally accurate.
