Our Partner Mathew Liu recently conducted an engaging full-day training session on fundamental legal concepts related to the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) for officers of the Labour Department of the Government of Hong Kong.

Understanding Employment Law: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach

Employment law is a vital cross-disciplinary field that integrates principles of contract, tort, statutory protections, and criminal liabilities. The workplace can be a complex and dynamic environment prone to disputes. Therefore, it is crucial for frontline officers, whether from the government, corporate entities, statutory bodies, public institutions, or NGOs, to possess a solid foundation in legal knowledge. This understanding is essential for navigating the legal system in Hong Kong and for applying relevant legislations and legal principles effectively in their everyday roles.
