Establishing and Managing HR; Enabling Acquisition

Context

Our client is an IP and corporate law firm headquartered in New Delhi, and offices in Bangalore and Pune.

The Ask

The firm, to fuel its growth, was looking at building people processes and culture that can help it attract and retain the best talent.

The Solution

Our mandate was a complete end-to-end HR transformation focused on structure, leadership, and performance alignment in the first phase. As part of the same, we worked on

• Organization Design & Alignment: Created a clear structure with defined levels and reporting lines

• Systems & Policy Foundation: Implemented a fit-for-purpose HRIS, standardized policies, and formalized documentation including offer letters, templates, and forms.

• Performance & Growth: Introduced merit-based appraisals, career development, and succession frameworks to strengthen accountability and progression.

• Engagement & Culture: Enhanced employee experience through recognition initiatives and standardized hiring and evaluation processes.

As part of the ongoing phase, we are now managing the HR function on an ongoing basis.

We are now helping the firm acquire and integrate another established law firm. This involves ensuring the alignment of policies/processes and ensuring the incoming team is excited about the future.
