On 12 February, Cynthia Chung moderated a webinar on ‘Employment Law in Asia – Year in Review’, hosted by the Employment Law Alliance. The webinar provided an overview of the key legal developments in employment law in 2019, before addressing what to expect in 2020 across five jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
Sharing the panel with Cynthia were: Jeffrey Wilson, Counsel of Jun He, Elizabeth Pai, Senior Of Counsel of Lee, Tsai & Partners, Rikisuke Yamanaka, Partner of Ushijima & Partners and Matthew Jones, Senior Attorney of Kim & Chang. In addition to the 2019 year in review and expected trends for 2020, there was an interactive discussion on contingency planning during times of crisis. The panel discussed the COVID-19 outbreak as well as redundancy, restructuring and downsizing issues.
The webinar attracted over 200 attendees from Asia, Europe and North America and the panel received multiple questions from attendees throughout the webinar. Feedback was very positive. Attendees found it helpful and were particularly keen to hear the insights from the panellists on the COVID-19 situation.
