Employers are confronted daily with a range of employment, incentive and pensions/superannuation issues - including the war for talent, large pension deficits and superannuation reform. For employers who operate across borders, these issues become even more complex and challenging.
We help our clients with their most challenging contentious, transactional and advisory matters across the globe combining cutting-edge technical expertise with genuine local knowledge and regional sensitivity.
Working with multinational corporations, leading national businesses, financial institutions, public sector bodies and pension/superannuation trustees we provide advice across employment and employment litigation, industrial relations, pensions and pensions litigation, remuneration and incentives, superannuation and workplace health and safety.
We routinely deploy novel, multi-disciplinary strategic analysis to achieve our client's objectives and work with our clients, industry bodies and government organisations to shape the direction and content of future legislation.
Our team includes almost 200 lawyers across offices in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and the US.
