Contracts · Labour Law · Governance
Every policy defensible, every process compliant.
From employment contracts and handbooks to statutory compliance and internal investigations, we keep your HR practice on the right side of the law.
Exposure hides in unsigned contracts, inconsistent handbooks, missing statutory filings, and messy exits. One complaint or audit and the informal setup stops being informal. You need employment practice that holds up under scrutiny.
What changes
Outcomes you can hold, not slides you file.
Contract and handbook set tailored to your entity and workforce
A compliance gap map with prioritized remediation, not a fear list
Disciplinary, grievance, and investigation procedures managers can follow
Audit-ready documentation trails for statutory and workplace governance
How it works
A clear path from first conversation to delivery.
Audit the exposure
Contracts, policies, statutory obligations, and workplace process: what exists, what is missing, what is risky.
Prioritize
Severity and likelihood ranking so you fix the things that can actually hurt the business first.
Remediate
Contracts, handbooks, procedures, and governance implemented with management training where needed.
Maintain
Cadence for updates as law, headcount, or entity structure changes — optional ongoing support.
Exposure map
The compliance checklist we actually walk
Not a scare list. A practical audit of where informal practice becomes real risk — especially for India entry and scale-ups that never wrote anything down.
India market entry
Multinationals establishing or expanding operations often need contracts, handbooks, statutory mapping, and manager playbooks from day one. That is a core compliance engagement, not a bolt-on.

Questions
Straight answers before you book.
Are you a law firm?
Helix is an HR consulting and outsourcing firm. We design defensible employment practice and compliance systems. For litigation or formal legal opinions, we work alongside your counsel.
Do you support India market entry?
Yes. Multinationals setting up or expanding in India often need contracts, handbooks, statutory mapping, and manager playbooks from day one. That is a core use case.
Can you run an internal investigation?
Yes. We support structured internal investigations and workplace governance processes, with documentation suitable for leadership and, where needed, external counsel.
How fast can contracts and a handbook be ready?
A focused package for a single entity can move in weeks when decision-makers are available. Multi-entity or remediation programs are phased.
