End-To-End Advisory in All Aspects of Employment Matters

Fintech and Blockchain Services

Navigating Singapore’s evolving employment landscape is challenging for both corporates and individuals. Our Employment team acts for both corporates and C-suite executives and has extensive commercial experience in advising on the full spectrum of employment law related matters.

For our corporate clients, we recognise the need to balance between legal complexities and practical solutions. Our Employment team is committed to providing quality, commercially wise counsel in a wide range of issues including the drafting of corporate employment policies, employee compensation and benefits such as Employee Share Option Schemes (ESOS) and Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), management of restructuring, mergers and acquisitions and redundancy situations, data privacy, and corporate governance.

Our C-suite clients trust us in representing them in employment disputes such as wrongful dismissal and termination. We also support them in non-contentious matters such as negotiating their contracts and advising them on their rights and obligations relating to restrictive covenants including non-compete/non-solicitation and restraint of trade clauses.

We know that employment law is never confined to itself. Having a strong grounding in civil litigation, we represent our clients in contractual disputes, wrongful dismissal claims and termination issues. We also tap on our expertise in investigations, anti-corruption and bribery disputes to support our clients in employment-related matters such as employee misconduct and whistle-blowing.
