Compliance and Ethics

A sweeping overhaul of India’s employment law landscape is underway, with immediate relevance for U.S. multinationals and their India operations. The November 2025 rollout represents a major regulatory inflection point, while generating substantial uncertainty. Media coverage has been uneven, state-level timelines vary, and many organizations are still assessing what compliance actually requires in practice.

This session will cut through the noise and focus on what matters most for corporate legal teams:

• Understanding India’s four Labor Codes now in force, bringing together 29 legacy labor statutes into a single, modernized compliance framework.
• What implementation really looks like on the ground: Including HR process redesign, documentation updates, compliance audits, and dispute-management mechanics under the new regime.
• Operational and financial impacts for employers, from payroll restructuring and social security contributions to contractor oversight, workforce planning, and risk allocation.
• The transition support organizations will need, particularly multi-state employers, and companies relying heavily on contractors, staffing vendors, or gig-economy platforms.
• How to navigate the interim period while state rules remain in flux, and what uneven or staggered adoption means for legal exposure and compliance strategy.

Our objective to provide clear and actionable guidance so India operations can move through this transition with minimal disruption.

In a fast shifting and disruptive enforcement landscape, laws affecting interactions with foreign companies and governments present unprecedented compliance risks and burdens for the unwary. The Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (“FARA”) remains a sweeping, vague statute, for which the application even to U.S. companies can often be threatening and unclear, particularly in the face of the proliferation of similar legislation by other jurisdictions around the world. Similarly, companies attempting to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (“FCPA”), which has historically been one of the areas of most aggressive corporate criminal enforcement, are now operating in an environment of unprecedented uncertainty. Recent DOJ guidance on the enforcement of both laws and a recent Presidential directive regarding review of FCPA enforcement have created significant ambiguities as to the fate of ongoing investigations and enforcement, potentially fundamentally altering the compliance and voluntary disclosure calculus - in some surprising ways. Learn how these laws work, and how recent developments will affect enforcement and compliance practices.
