Employment
Singapore occupies a ​strategically advantageous geographic location and is home to many multinational companies looking to set up an Asian hub.
​​
We are by our clients' side throughout the entire life cycle of an employment relationship, providing strategic advisory and contractual support at all stages: attraction, recruitment, onboarding, engagement, development, retention, exit and post-termination issues.
​
With ongoing globalisation and an increasingly mobile workforce, we help our clients navigate complex and evolving employment issues, including pay equity, diversity and inclusion, workplace health and safety, and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.
In addition to our advisory practice, our employment team has significant experience handling employment-related investigations and disputes. We regularly advise employers on managing and resolving disputes arising from dismissals, disciplinary action, workplace grievances and breaches of employment obligations, and support clients in legal proceedings, as well as in mediation and negotiated settlements.
​
Our employment team also has extensive experience examining workforce concerns arising from any corporate transaction, be it a merger, acquisition, joint venture or an outsourcing arrangement.
