Labor, Employment & Employee Benefits

People are essential to your business. When it comes to employing them, however, few things are ever simple. Their legal rights, personal needs and cultural expectations present both opportunities and risks.

The laws and regulations governing relationships between employers and employees are complex, confusing and sometimes contradictory. If you don't know your rights - or respect theirs - your productivity, profitability and reputation can all suffer.

At Enlighten Corp, we understand that business success requires legally sound, strategically savvy labor and employment policies and practices. Our Employment Practice Group focuses to help employers comply with the law, prevent unwanted issues from arising and continuously adapt to the realities of an intensely competitive global economy.

  • Labor relations : We help with wage and hour issues, unionizing activities, collective bargaining, interpretation of work rules, grievances and industrial disputes.
  • Business immigration and executive transfer : We help facilitate expatriate assignments, from compliance with immigration and employment laws to benefits and tax planning.

  • Employment-related litigation : We defend or prosecute claims of wrongful discharge, discrimination, harassment, whistleblower actions and protection of intellectual property.
  • Employee benefits and executive compensation : We design, implement and administer all types of employee benefits and executive compensation programs.
  • Pensions law : We provide practical counseling to sponsoring employers, trustees and plan administrators involved in running occupational pension plans on all aspects of legislative, regulatory and fiscal requirements.

 

Business Migration & Executive Transfers

In today's economy, the global movement of employees is essential. Getting the right people to the right places at the right time, with proper support, is critical to the success of far-flung businesses.

But there often is a gap between business necessity and practical reality when it comes to moving your people to new countries. You have to anticipate and deal effectively with a host of interconnected legal issues and individual concerns. Immigration and visa requirements. Tax implications. Jurisdictional concerns. We offer comprehensive legal advice on Business Migration and Executive Transfer to Thailand and other countries in Asia Pacific.

At Enlighten Corp, we can help you plan and implement employee transfers and provide on-site coverage to your company and employees in most major business communities around the globe. Our network of immigration law attorneys assist both pre- and post-transfer to ensure that employment contracts are complete and enforceable, that employee benefits meet needs and relevant legal requirements, and that tax planning is sound and defensible.

We have also defended employers in arbitrations and grievance hearings, and in other alternative dispute resolution proceedings. Other experience includes the defense of a myriad of common law claims, including breach of contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful and retaliatory discharge, "whistle-blower" actions, defamation, invasion of privacy, and negligent retention of employees.

Our employment law litigators have prosecuted a wide variety of cases on behalf of employers, including claims of unfair competition, pirating of trade secrets, protection of intellectual property, employee disloyalty, and breach of restrictive covenants.

We provide a wide range of compensation and benefit services, including:

Pension Funds

Our pension law attorneys provide practical counseling to sponsoring employers, trustees, and plan administrators involved in running occupational pension plans on all aspects of legislative, regulatory, and fiscal requirements. The scope of this advice encompasses acquisitions, plan mergers and terminations, plan investments, fiduciary matters, discrimination issues, disputes and plan funding. Our attorneys are highly experienced in drafting and amending plan documentation, particularly with respect to tax reform and other changes required by legislative changes or recently issued regulations. We also represent pension plans, plan sponsors, and trustees in litigation-related matters and before local governmental authorities and agencies.

Similarly, our pension attorneys have become trusted advisers to employers who operate in the international arena. We have substantial experience in dealing with all international pension issues, including advising on the suitability and tax efficiency of offshore arrangements and making recommendations on the provision of pension benefits for internationally mobile employees.

We have advised clients regarding the tax, labor law, and other regulatory issues involved in the establishment of global pension programs in dozens of jurisdictions worldwide. We have also assisted clients in solving operational problems that arise with respect to ongoing global pension programs and can offer practical solutions based upon our experience with other clients. Finally, our attorneys assist both buyers and sellers with respect to the pension issues raised in multinational transactions and, given our extensive network of offices, we can coordinate the pensions advice from different jurisdictions to provide a seamless work product for our clients.
