• Drafting and negotiating employment, consultancy, and settlement agreements;
• Supporting on corporate transactions, including M&A, financings, and IPOs, with a strong cross-border element;
• Advising on workforce structuring, including employee, worker, and contractor classification;
• Guiding clients through disciplinary, grievance, and performance processes;
• Providing strategic input on redundancies and exits;
• Collaborating with international colleagues and external counsel on multi-jurisdictional matters; and
• Contributing to business development initiatives and the growth of the practice.
