RDA Legal chosen as exclusive India member by law network L&E Global

MUMBAI: RDA Legal, a leading full-service law firm in India, has been chosen as exclusive partner by L&E Global, one of the world’s largest employment law networks dealing with issues related to workplace/employment laws across the globe. Through this association, RDA Legal aims to further the cause of global employment practice standards in India.

While employment laws were traditionally not an area of focus for full-service law firms in India, the current economic climate, foreign investments and multinationals have spurred a demand and need of expert advisory in employment laws.

With its specialised practice in this area, RDA Legal is one of the few firms in the country with a standalone employment law team which partners in-house legal counsels as well as HR departments of the companies.

"L&E Global has always had a reputation of being a top-notch worldwide advisor on employment laws. The prospect of being a part of this network not only solidifies our position nationally but also provides us significant global exposure," said Avik Biswas, partner, RDA Legal, who heads the employment law practice group of the firm.

"According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) India is expected to be the world’s fastest growing major economy in 2015 and 2016. India has the 7th largest GDP in the world, has the 3rd largest purchasing power parity (PPP), is in the top 20 global traders according to the World Trade Organization and has a labour force of more than 485 million people. As such, it is vital for L&E Global to have an excellent team in India that can advise multinational corporations on all employment law matters. RDA Legal gives us that team," added Stephan Swinkels, executive director and member of the Board of L&E Global.
