Career

Fatim is a partner based in our Singapore office. Fatim is the Asia Head of the Employment, Pensions & Incentives team, Asia, and helps clients achieve practical and commercial solutions to labour and employment issues across multiple jurisdictions. She covers the region, with lawyers in her team on the ground across our office locations, and strong relationships with local counsel in other jurisdictions. Her focus is on cross border and multi jurisdiction matters, working with clients to create regionally consistent yet locally compliant approaches to difficult and complex employment issues. She is sought after for her clear, commercial and common sense based approach to problem solving. Fatim acts as a trusted, single point of contact for clients with operations across Asia. Although her clients represent a wide variety of industries, many come from the technology, energy, banking and consumer sectors. The unique 'one-stop-shop' approach means that clients can expect consistent and practical solutions wherever they operate in Asia. Fatim advises on all aspects of the employment life cycle: from pre-employment checks & onboarding, document compliance (contracts, work rules, policies), statutory entitlements, executive compensation, employee performance and misconduct management, discrimination, investigations & whistleblowing, supply chain audits, trade union negotiations, crisis response assistance, workplace health & safety, redundancies & restructures, post acquisition integration, termination of employment and post employment restraints. Fatim joined the firm in 2013. She was called to the Bar in the United Kingdom in 2003, and admitted as an advocate and solicitor in Singapore in 2014. She was appointed as the Singapore managing partner in 2021, expanding the firm’s leadership team in Southeast Asia.
