Employment Law Services

Executives & Employees

 

Employment Disputes​

 

Our management-side background makes us uniquely positioned to represent employees and executives. After working exclusively for companies, we have the management-side playbook down. We understand how companies will approach the case and can anticipate their arguments and defenses.

​

We are deeply committed to every case that we take on. We strive to understand your goals, whether that is an early resolution or taking a case to trial, and develop a strategy to maximize results based on your objectives.

​

Employment and Separation Agreements

 

We understand the legal and business considerations behind entering into or exiting any employment relationship. We have significant experience drafting and negotiating all types of employment agreements, including offer letters, employment contracts, restrictive covenants, and separation agreements. We also have extensive experience litigating restrictive covenant and breach of contract claims.

​

We help executives and other individuals evaluate and negotiate the terms of any type of employment contract. We also work with individuals who have been terminated or who are looking to leave a job negotiate the terms of their separation.

​

For non-competes, non-solicits and other restrictive covenants, we can help you understand the scope of the restrictions, push back in negotiations, and litigate breach of contract claims.

Employers​ and Emerging Companies and Startups

 

Compliance

 

We advise startups on all types of day-to-day employment matters, such as hiring, internal complaints, disability accommodations and terminations. With our big law experience, we provide the experience and expertise of a large firm, with more personalized service, efficiency and flexibility.

​

Workplace Culture

 

Developing a strong culture of respect, inclusion and speaking up is critical for emerging companies. We have helped dozens of startups, technology and venture-backed companies implement policies, training and management styles that reflect company-specific values and promote appropriate workplace behaviors.

​

Counselling and Training

 

Employment Counselling

​

We help companies minimise the risk of litigation with pragmatic employment advice, policies and training.

We advise on the full lifecycle of employment, from recruiting and on-boarding through terminations and layoffs. We update employee handbooks, policies and agreements for compliance with applicable laws and best practices.

​​

Harassment Training

 

Although it is not legally required for employers to conduct anti-sexual harassment training in Malaysia, provision of training is definitely beneficial. We provide engaging, informative and effective training programs for executives, managers and individual contributors that fulfill these requirements.

​

We also conduct training sessions on respect in the workplace, leadership and management skills, diversity, inclusion and other employment topics.
