Equipped with both commercial and dispute resolution experience, our team of lawyers offer a comprehensive range of employment-related services to both domestic and multinational companies. We take a commercially practical approach that aligns with the clients’ needs and applicable laws and regulations, covering the entire employment cycle from recruitment to termination.

We are experienced in establishing and maintaining clients’ employment administration compliance, including preparing tailored employment agreements, company regulations and collective labor agreements. We also assist clients in navigating regulatory requirements and best practices to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving manpower laws.

In relation to corporate and commercial transactions, we have extensive experience advising clients on employment aspects of restructuring, including those related with mergers and acquisitions, major corporate rightsizing and intra-group restructuring. Our services include conducting employment due diligence, identifying potential liabilities and developing strategies to mitigate risks while ensuring business continuity.

We also advise and represent clients in industrial dispute resolution matters, including bilateral negotiations with employees and/or labor unions, the handling of strikes, mediation and courtroom representation.
