Labor and Employment

The most important asset in your business is not something you can put your hands on. It isn’t your manufacturing plant or equipment, nor is it your data, technology or intellectual property. The most valuable part of your company is the people – your human capital – and any plans to move your business forward have to start there. 

Labor markets are restructuring. A recent survey found that an unprecedented 41% of businesses plan to expand their use of contractors as the pandemic presses on. And even when the COVID-19 challenges are behind us, it is quite clear that the gig-economy is here to stay. As we make this transition, our employment and labor relations experts remain well equipped to support you in balancing these emerging trends with traditional labor practices, depending on your business model. We have extensive knowledge and experience on diverse aspects of employment law including:

• Preparation of employment contracts, executive service agreements and independent contractor agreements;
• Drafting of bonding and separation agreements;
• Advisory opinions on management of employee on-boarding, disciplinary and off-boarding procedures;
• Protection of employers’ confidential and proprietary information, trade secrets and business relationships from misuse, interference and violations of non-compete agreements;
• Formulation of Human Resource policies and manuals; 
• Establishment of employee share ownership schemes;
• Litigation on individual and class action employment cases; and
• Training management, human resource professionals and staff on all aspects of employment law.
