A sweeping overhaul of India’s employment law landscape is underway, with immediate relevance for U.S. multinationals and their India operations. The November 2025 rollout represents a major regulatory inflection point, while generating substantial uncertainty. Media coverage has been uneven, state-level timelines vary, and many organizations are still assessing what compliance actually requires in practice.

This session will cut through the noise and focus on what matters most for corporate legal teams:

  • Understanding India’s four Labor Codes now in force, bringing together 29 legacy labor statutes into a single, modernized compliance framework.
  • What implementation really looks like on the ground: Including HR process redesign, documentation updates, compliance audits, and dispute-management mechanics under the new regime.
  • Operational and financial impacts for employers, from payroll restructuring and social security contributions to contractor oversight, workforce planning, and risk allocation.
  • The transition support organizations will need, particularly multi-state employers, and companies relying heavily on contractors, staffing vendors, or gig-economy platforms.
  • How to navigate the interim period while state rules remain in flux, and what uneven or staggered adoption means for legal exposure and compliance strategy.

Our objective to provide clear and actionable guidance so India operations can move through this transition with minimal disruption.
