Who I Am — Labour & Employment Lawyer in Gurgaon

I am Advocate Sunita Sharma, a practising labour and employment lawyer with over 15 years of courtroom and advisory experience, with a primary focus on Gurgaon, as well as Noida, and Delhi’s corporate employment ecosystem.

Gurgaon is India's largest corporate employment hub outside Mumbai — housing multinational corporations, startups, IT firms, shared service centers, real estate developers, manufacturing offices, and HR outsourcing firms. This makes Gurgaon, one of the most legally complex employment markets in India.

My role as a labour lawyer is not just to argue in court — but to:

  • Prevent wrongful terminations
  • Protect employee rights
  • Defend employers against frivolous claims
  • Ensure POSH compliance
  • Resolve employment disputes efficiently
  • Minimize litigation risk for businesses
  • Secure fair settlements for aggrieved employees
