Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Hong Kong

With recent changes to discrimination laws and the establishment of an anti-sexual harassment specialist unit at the Equal Opportunities Commission, it is increasingly important for employers in Hong Kong to ensure that discrimination initiatives and legislative changes are on their radar and are being appropriately addressed through policies, practices and trainings.  In this session we will provide an update on the key legislative changes and what these mean in practice for employers.  We will also cover common pitfalls that employers make and best practice suggestions for mitigating risks, responding to claims and conducting investigations.

SPEAKER:

Helen Colquhoun,
Partner & Head of Employment Law practice, DLA Piper Hong Kong

Helen Colquhoun is triple qualified in New York, England and Wales, and Hong Kong. She advises employers across a range of industries on both contentious and non-contentious employment issues such as investigations, restrictive covenants, risk management, acquisitions, restructuring, managing employee hiring and terminations, design of incentive schemes, and drafting contracts and handbooks. Helen frequently advises overseas employers on their operations in Hong Kong, including in relation to sensitive and/or C-suite terminations, secondments, dual contracts, enforcement of restrictive covenants, investigations and general HR matters. Helen also routinely oversees regional APAC projects that require advice on local law nuances, trends and approaches on a range of issues, including restructurings, policy roll outs and outsourcing arrangements.
