Employment

ILChambers recognises the very important legal relationship between employers and their employees, and we routinely advise on matters such as employee contracts, policies and handbooks, employee disputes, retrenchment and redundancies, Voluntary Separation Schemes (VSS), Employee Share Option Schemes (ESOS) as well as guidance through the formal processes in the relevant government agencies and in the industrial court. We regularly advise foreign clients in these areas as well, particularly those looking to expand into the local market and ensuring compliance with local employment regulations.
