Employment & Industrial Relations

With the rise of flexible work models, technology-driven operations, and the rise of the gig economy, having clear legal frameworks is crucial to define the rights, responsibilities, and protections of both employers and employees.
.
In Malaysia’s complex labour law landscape, it is essential for companies to maintain compliance with legal obligations. The Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2020, effective 1 January 2021, introduced key updates to Malaysia's Industrial Relations Act 1967 and in 2023, the Malaysian Employment Act 1955 was also amended to strengthen employee protections.

We offer a comprehensive range of employment law-related services, encompassing both contentious and non-contentious matters for employers and employees.
