Corporate & Employment Law Firm in Pune

About Us – Corrida Legal Pune

Pune relies on a unique mix that isn’t seen in any other Indian city. Automotive manufacturing in Pimpri-Chinchwad and Chakan. More than 500 Global Capability Centres (GCCs), with contributions from more than 30 nations, constitute 14% of India’s GCC units. A SaaS ecosystem comprising 160 companies that together have garnered $1.3 billion. An engineering workforce of 200,000 graduates annually, out of which 90,000 belong to STEM fields.

In Q2 2026, Pune leased its record-high office area of 4.1 million square feet of office space.  Rs 345 crore was invested by HARMAN International to increase the capacity of their manufacturing facility in Pune by 50%, which would create 300 new job opportunities. This is just one investment in a string of investments made in the industrial corridor of Chakan-Talegaon.

Our practice of Corrida Legal at Pune caters to all these requirements. There is the GCC that requires its India Employment policy to be in accordance with both the local labor laws as well as its global Human Resource policy. The automobile components manufacturing company that is facing issues with hundreds of crores worth of supply agreements. The software-as-a-service company that has recently completed its Series B funding and needs restructuring of its ESOP scheme. Both Corporate Law and Employment law are combined in our firm for this very reason.

How We Work Process

Listening comes first

An auto parts supplier in Chakan enquires regarding payment related disputes with their OEM client. The real issue is that there is no price variation provision on raw material variation in their supply agreement and dispute needs to be conciliated as per Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 prior to any arbitration. An individual proprietorship firm having GCC certificate from Hinjewadi enquires about the dismissal of an underperforming worker. The real issue is that the fixed term contract was not made as per Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 ( The Industrial Relations Code 2020) and such dismissal could be considered as retrenchment where notice & compensation needs to be given which was not budgeted at all. Our unique way of doing things at Corrida Legal is that we will always follow up with further questions pertaining to the business relationship & documentation in place before advising on any issue.

Continuity

A precision auto-components manufacturing company based out of Talegaon has a diverse workforce comprising permanent employees, temporary employees, and trainees, who all come under different renewal and reporting time frames as per the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. It makes it tough for the in-house HR team to keep track of what particular category is approaching its renewal period. Corrida Legal ensures timely tracking of the said timeline as part of its advisory services and makes sure that no such renewal period passes without notice. A biotechnology research-based company located in Pune granting stock options to their scientists sees that even after the grant, the vesting, board-approval and exercise criteria remain on for many years ahead and each criteria comes at different times within each cycle. Corrida Legal ensures that the said criteria are tracked in each of the ongoing grant cycles.

Turning law into action

A renewable energy company providing EPC services from Pune needs to make sure that all of its wages and bonuses paid to the site workforce follow the Code on Wages, 2019. However, the provisions in the Code are too generic to be implemented by the company's HR team in each pay cycle. Corrida Legal develops a payroll checklist that follows the code's provisions and is ready to be used by the client's HR team during each pay cycle. An aerospace company manufacturing components plans to undergo its first safety inspection according to the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. The company does not have any documents developed that would help it translate the code's provisions into site activities. Corrida Legal helps develop an audit-ready safety document based on the code's provisions. The mock audit comes before the safety inspection.

Why Businesses Call Us the Best Law Firm in Pune

Breadth of matters

A fintech business based out of Baner wants its contracts governing the gig-workforce to comply with the Code on Social Security, 2020, while concurrently trying to acquire office space in Kharadi, but is unable to do both efficiently without the other taking precedence over the process. Corrida Legal ensures that the office space is acquired and the employee compliance in regard to the contracts occurs in parallel. An automobile ancillary exporter from Chakan seeking an international quality certification requires its internal HR practices and employee conduct to be in line with the requirements of the certification, but finds that its HR documentation does not live up to the standards expected. Corrida Legal brings the HR practices in line with the certification beforehand.

Guidance that can be used

There is ambiguity regarding whether the design of a lead engineer, which has been patented, belongs to a Pune-based venture for making EV components or the person himself, owing to ambiguous clauses in the agreement signed while joining. The answer from Corrida Legal is straight forward, as they know exactly what needs to be amended in the clause. A spin-out of a Pune engineering institute is not sure whether its founder's agreement and equity structure will survive the HR due diligence of a prospective institutional investor. Corrida Legal takes a look at the founder documents beforehand.

Corporate and employment are handled together

When an MNC Pharma purchases a smaller formulations division in Pune, the company runs the risk of undervaluing the purchase if the gratuity liability that the target will have under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 is not considered along with the transaction. While drafting the Share Purchase Agreement, Corrida Legal calculates this liability for the client. Whereas when an IT/ITES firm creates its own Magarpatta Campus and requires onboarding documents that comply with the Industrial Relation code 2020, they are at risk of having problems if they work with two separate consultants for one and the same project. Corrida Legal offers both in one package.

Consistency

A pharma company is surprised when a factory inspection reveals an oversight in workforce welfare documentation as per the Code on Social Security, 2020. The legal team from Corrida Legal, who has been advising the client for more than a year, acts instantly and uses the compliance track record already known to them. A company dealing with IT/ITES receives a surprise notice under the Trade Unions Act, 1926, when a new advisor would need weeks to even get a hang of the workforce hierarchy. Corrida Legal, who has been advising the client from the very beginning of its Hinjewadi operations, takes action instantly, with prior knowledge of the situation.

Corporate Law Services in Pune

Company structure and records

An automobile ancillary firm located in Pimpri Chinchwad in need of working capital faces the possibility of getting flagged by the legal department of the funding agency due to the fact that the resolutions passed by its board of directors regarding the senior level employment conditions three years ago had not been properly recorded. Corrida Legal resolves the issue before the funding agency checks out its records. A precision engineering exporting company situated close to Pune realizes that the alterations made to its senior level employment conditions had not been properly recorded in the first place. Corrida Legal ensures that all its records are in order.

Compliance and inspections

The pharmaceutical manufacturing unit situated in the vicinity of Pune has to comply with the provision for making provident fund contributions under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 along with its separate wage payment filing obligations on different schedules and which may lead to oversight of one of the schedules. Corrida Legal takes care of both of these compliance schedules as one. The defence manufacturing unit situated in the vicinity of Chakan faces the same problem as far as compliance obligation regarding making filings for contract laborers under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 is concerned which falls on a different schedule than its welfare fund contribution. Corrida Legal manages both cycles together, ensuring neither is overlooked.

Transactions under pressure

IT/ITES company in Hinjewadi needs an urgent secondment agreement for engineers being posted at the client’s site abroad, but only has limited time to ensure tax withholdings, notices, and confidentiality. Corrida Legal is quick with all of the above and does not forget about the confidentiality part. Auto components exporter in Talegaon needs to get its contingent workers on board urgently ahead of production deadlines, with little time left to manoeuvre. Corrida Legal ensures that it gets its offer letters and service terms ready within days.

Internal investigations

There is an internal allegation of a financial misconduct case involving a senior executive of a fintech firm operating in Baner. The investigation should be carried out confidentially so as to avoid unnecessary interference from the regulators. Corrida Legal undertakes the investigations in a manner that would safeguard any documents that can stand up to any regulatory scrutiny. There is a pharmaceutical plant located near Pune that is facing allegations of irregularity in the vendor hiring process and needs to undertake an investigation in a manner that would maintain the confidentiality of the whistleblower. Corrida Legal conducts the investigation with full confidentiality for the whistleblower, while ensuring the process remains fair to the accused.

Contracts and disputes

A company providing IT services in Hinjewadi observes that the employment agreements drafted for employees dealing with confidential data of their clients are devoid of confidentiality clauses. Corrida Legal rewrites such clauses right from the stage of drafting the first document. The auto ancillary business near Chakan that is trying to enter into an agreement regarding its services to its workforce discovers that the termination and dispute resolution clauses have been copied from an earlier template without any proper thought. Corrida Legal renegotiates such clauses in the agreement.

Seeing matters through

The case of a defense electronics company involving its erstwhile employee with respect to the non-compete agreement could go through many hearings spanning several years, and there could be a possibility of losing continuity since the consultants would change midway. Corrida Legal ensures continuity by handling the case till the end, thereby not briefing a new lawyer halfway through. Similarly, the trade union dispute of an IT/ITES firm at its Pune campus might take many years to resolve. Corrida Legal handles the case continuously from filing to resolution.
