Michael Lee to Present on Labor and Employment Issues in Vietnam

European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam

Michael K. Lee, partner and head of the Tilleke & Gibbins corporate/commercial group in Vietnam, will present on “How to Hire and Fire (Legally) in Vietnam” at a EuroCham business luncheon on April 26 at the Sofitel Plaza in Hanoi. His presentation will run through topics such as employment contracts, permissible disciplinary actions, and how to terminate employees without running afoul of Vietnam’s employee-friendly labor laws.

Michael has previously spoken on this topic at well-attended events in Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore held earlier this year. The presentation in Hanoi is particularly timely as Vietnam’s new Labor Code will take effect on May 1, making HR professionals at many foreign companies curious as to what effect the new changes will have on their duties.
