About The Role

We're looking for a Head Legal to own and drive the entire legal function at Encompass end to end.

This isn't a role where legal sits at the edge of the business reviewing what's handed over; it's a seat where legal shapes how the business moves. You'll be the single point of accountability for legal risk,

compliance, and governance across a multi-brand, publicly listed group from board-level matters

to the fine print on a vendor contract.

What You'll Own

Corporate & Listed Company Compliance

All statutory and regulatory compliance as a publicly listed entity - SEBI regulations,

Companies Act requirements, stock exchange filings, and board/shareholder governance

Coordination with company secretary, auditors, and registrars on filings, disclosures, and

corporate actions (including share issuances and allotments)

Board and committee meeting support - resolutions, minutes, statutory registers

Contracts & Commercial Legal

Drafting, vetting, and negotiating the full spread of commercial agreements - vendor MSAs,

manufacturing and supply agreements,



3PL/logistics contracts, marketing and

influencer/celebrity endorsement deals, franchise or retail partnership agreements, and

promoter/founder agreements across brands

Building templates and playbooks so contracting scales without every document starting

from zero

Employment Law & HR Legal Interface

Partnering with HR on appointment letters, separation agreements, POSH compliance,

labour law (ESIC, PF, Contract Labour Act, Shops & Establishments), and dispute resolution

Advising on sensitive employment matters - terminations, notice period disputes,

non-compete and confidentiality enforcement

Risk, Litigation & Dispute Management

Managing all litigation, arbitration, and regulatory notices across brands - directly or

through external counsel

Building a risk register and early-warning system so legal exposure is visible before it

becomes a crisis

IP & Brand Protection
