Global labor and employment law firm Littler Mendelson has recently announced the addition of three new counsel members to their Asia-Pacific (APAC) regional office in Singapore. The new additions are Soowon Hong, Betty Lee, and Shiau Sang Tee. The firm disclosed the news in a statement on Monday.
Soowon Hong, the former managing partner at Hwang Hong & Co., focuses her legal expertise on Korean employment and labor laws. Her counseling spans a wide array of subjects including hiring, performance management, employee termination, and legal facets of business restructurings and mergers and acquisitions.
Betty Lee, originally an attorney within the Hong Kong employment practice at Howse Williams, offers advice on employment procedures such as talent procurement, worker classification, termination processes, compensation issues, and benefits, restrictive covenants, and workplace training.
The third legal expert, Shiau Sang Tee, mainly advises companies on benefits and entitlements, termination of employment, discrimination, harassment, and employment issues pertinent to corporate restructurings.
These appointments reflect the firm’s ongoing endeavors to bolster their reach and expertise across the APAC region. Here at Bloomberg Law, we extend a warm welcome to the newly appointed experts and look forward to following Littler’s developments in Asia-Pacific’s dynamic legal landscape.
