People are a company’s most valuable asset, and employment relationships, if not properly managed, can also become one of its most costly sources of dispute. HM&P provides comprehensive advice on employment law, including employment contracts and internal labour regulations, work permits for foreign employees, workforce restructuring and redundancies in compliance with statutory procedures, workplace dialogue and collective bargaining, as well as the resolution of employment disputes before courts and arbitral tribunals. At the executive level, we design compensation and incentive arrangements for key personnel, ranging from ESOPs and long-term incentive plans to non-compete provisions, and advise on employment issues arising in M&A transactions, where the human factor often determines the success or failure of the integration process.
