Practice
Employment & Industrial Relations
We combine expertise in complex corporate employment structuring (ESOS/ESOP, M&A employment transitions) with strategic representation of C-suite executives in disputes and negotiations.
Navigating Singapore’ and Tthailands evolving employment landscapes is challenging for both corporates and individuals. Our Employment team acts for corporates and C-suite executives, offering end-to-end advisory on the full spectrum of employment law matters.
- For corporate clients, we provide commercially wise counsel that balances legal complexities with practical solutions. We assist with drafting employment policies, employee compensation and benefits such as Employee Share Option Schemes (ESOS) and Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), and management of restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and redundancy situations. Our team also advises on data privacy and corporate governance matters.
- For C-suite clients, we represent them in employment disputes such as wrongful dismissal and termination. We also support them in non-contentious matters including negotiating contracts and advising on rights and obligations relating to restrictive covenants such as non-compete, non-solicitation, and restraint of trade clauses.
