We have a dedicated employment team in Singapore which, together with Baker & McKenzie’s extensive global network, enables us to provide a truly comprehensive and efficient service to our clients. In recent times, this has been of particular value to organisations undertaking cost-cutting measures, global reorganisations or restructurings, as we can help ensure that difficult and often emotive issues are dealt with as efficiently as possible and in a culturally sensitive manner around the world.
Our team advises on the full range of employment matters and is adept at dealing with both domestic employment law issues — including both contentious and non-contentious issues — and at implementing cross-border employment strategies. We are often instructed on matters relating to the termination of senior executives, investigations into employee misconduct and issues relating to the enforcement restrictive covenants. With our knowledge and wealth of experience in handling such sensitive issues, our clients receive effective advice that is both practical and risk adverse. Asian Counsel named us Singapore Employment/Labour Firm of the Year in 2009.
