Exclusive Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No. An Offer Letter is a brief intent to hire. An Employment Agreement is a detailed legal contract that covers deep-level clauses like IP rights, dispute resolution, and non-compete terms that an offer letter usually misses.
While total "restraint of trade" is difficult, we draft "Reasonable Restriction" clauses that protect your business interests and are more likely to be upheld in Indian courts.
Without this clause, an employee could technically claim ownership of the code or designs they created. This clause ensures the company owns the copyright to everything produced during work hours.
Our agreements include a specific list of "Material Breaches" (like theft, harassment, or data leak) that allow the company to terminate an employee immediately without paying a notice period.
While verbal contracts exist, a written agreement is the only way to prove terms in a legal dispute. It is highly recommended for every business to have a signed document on the day of joining.
