Laracy Gall has extensive experience in acting for both employers and employees. In the course of the last year our solicitors have represented a number of major financial houses and banks in the relocation and appropriation of staff, and have also acted for employees in respect of their employment issues with Morgan Stanley, ABN AMRO, JP Morgan, Citibank, Whitney Group, Philips, HSBC, SCB, Credit Suisse and various other multi-national companies and law firms.
At a non-contentious level, we conduct management training seminars, employment law compliance audits, dispute mechanism reviews and provide worker evaluation guidelines. We also advise on benefits negotiation and structure, providing clients with a complete understanding of the employment remuneration.
We have been retained to act on a wide range of matters including:
- Advising employers/employees on all types of contractual issues, including drafting and negotiation of terms and conditions of employment sand preparation of employee handbooks
- Defending and pursuing claims for unfair and wrongful dismissal in the Labour Tribunal and in the High Court in respect of both employers/employees
- Advising on non-competition/ non-solicitation provisions, and devising case appropriate exit strategies and protection for employers
- Handling of outplacements, redundancies and business reorganisation
- Protection and recovery of confidential information
- Data protection issues
- Discrimination on grounds of family status, sex and disability
We endeavour to provide pragmatic solutions to our clients needs in a time and cost effective manner. We look to educate our clients to be proactive in setting in place training and management initiatives to ensure compliance with Hong Kong employment law, and, through commercial awareness, to limit the likelihood of regulatory or staff difficulties arising in the future.
