The judgment of a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court in Sakharam Narayan Kherdekar v. City of Nagpur Corporation and others AIR 1964 Bombay 200 wherein it has been held that an office of an advocate is not covered under the expression 'commercial establishment' under the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act.
So the legal company needs to cross check applicability of the Act to itself.I do not think Shops and Establishment Act applies to a legal firm.
Policies regarding employment,terms and conditions of employment,recruitment,statutory compliances have to be spelt out and formalised.
What is the size of the company?
What is the leave policy?
Many basic questions need to be answered.
Setting up of a proper HR division would help the company settle down and allow the team of lawyers to concentrate on legal areas-which is the core business of the company.
