Our Singapore Employment & Incentives practice is regarded as the go-to employment practice for our clients’ most strategic, reputationally sensitive, commercial and complex employment law and HR matters. We are known for our dedicated Employment & Incentives practice led by Laure de Panafieu, with a highly experienced team of specialists qualified in both UK and Singapore law, advising on the full range of employment and benefits issues.

Laure heads the firm’s Employment & Incentives practice in Asia and has a stellar reputation in the market. Clients are full of praise for Laure, commenting that she “stands out for her complete leadership shown”, characterising her as “an expert who keeps her hand on the pulse, “an exceptional lawyer on all fronts” and “a phenomenal partner who is all about the detail but also able to speak in common-sense English that is business-relevant.”

We are continually evolving to meet our clients’ needs. Apart from covering the full range of day-to-day employment spectrum, from hiring and firing, to restructurings and transactions, via employment-related disputes, discrimination and harassment claims, whistleblowing complaints and investigations, we have also worked very closely to support our clients through the many new challenges that the Covid-19 crisis has brought with it, including on immigration and health and safety consideration, as well as related disputes, both within Singapore and across APAC.
