Employment
Overview
We have an outstanding record in representing both individuals and corporations in employment matters, as well as in general advisory work on the complex rules governing the employment of expatriates in Indonesia. In the litigation realm, we are frequently called upon to advise on cases involving internal fraud and embezzlement, as well as on the remedies available to employers affected by such acts. Additionally, we provide expert advice on the employment implications of mergers, acquisitions, and amalgamations, as well as the rights and benefits available to employees upon termination.
Our recent significant representations in this practice area include advising a multinational company in its effort to restrain the malicious online dissemination of slanderous and offensive material about the company and its officers by a disgruntled former senior employee; representing the Indonesian subsidiary of a Netherlands-based ICT services supplier in a dispute with its former president director over allegations of fraud and unlawful self-enrichment; and advising a well-known European company with significant operations in Asia in its pursuit of several senior employees accused of abusing their positions for personal enrichment.
