Join us in person for our APAC Employment Seminar, where our regional employment team will share insights on the latest developments and emerging challenges for employers across Asia Pacific.

This year’s seminar will feature a mix of regional updates, panel discussions and an interactive case study.

APAC Employment Law Update
Our lawyers from across the region will provide jurisdiction-specific updates on key legislative and case law developments, as well as emerging trends shaping the future of work in Asia Pacific.
Panel Discussion: The Rise of Rightsizing – Navigating Alternatives to Redundancy
As employers across the region look for more flexible workforce strategies, many are turning to “rightsizing” measures – such as voluntary redundancies and early retirement schemes – as alternatives to formal redundancy processes. Our panel will explore the legal, practical and employee-relations considerations of these approaches across different jurisdictions.
Interactive Case Study: Restrictive Covenants in Action
In this session, two teams of our lawyers will take on the roles of counsel for the outgoing employer and the new employer in a simulated dispute involving alleged breaches of non-compete and other post-termination obligations. Through this engaging mock scenario, we will explore enforcement challenges, strategic considerations, and best practices for protecting business interests when employees move.

2.5 CPD points (CPD accreditation subject to the Hong Kong Law Society's approval) will be available upon successful completion of a brief assessment.
