Overview

An Employment or Service Contract is a comprehensive legal agreement that formalizes the relationship between the employer and the employee. It goes beyond a basic appointment letter, offering deep legal protection for specialized roles and senior management positions.

Businesses need this document to ensure that high-value talent is bound by specific commercial protections, especially regarding intellectual property and non-solicitation. It provides the legal "teeth" required to handle complex exits or high-stakes performance issues.

Under Indian law, this contract serves as the primary evidence of the agreed "Contract of Service." It effectively covers risks related to poaching of clients, theft of proprietary algorithms, and ensures that the employer's operational secrets remain legally protected even after the contract ends.
