- in the PRC, our dual language article focuses on the development of a new trade secrets law
- in Singapore, the case of Dong Wei v Shell Eastern Trading (Pte) Ltd concerns whether the implied duty of mutual trust and confidence can be relied on in the employment context (spoiler alert: it’s not clear, but not looking great) – see here
- our Compliance Check this month looks at the use of fixed term contracts in Thailand and the risk of permanent employment
- our Asia Comparative Article looks at outsourcing arrangements and the deemed co-employment risks in Indonesia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India and the Philippines.
