Immigration, Expats & Foreign Workers

Our growing immigration practice provides business and corporate related immigration advice to local and international based clients. Our lawyers are known for their wealth of experience and ability to provide prompt and urgent assistance.

We attend to their global mobility needs including the hiring of expatriates and foreign workers, employment pass applications and renewals for expatriates and management of issues arising from employment of expatriates and foreign workers. Being a full-service law firm, we are able to strategically advise on and resolve any issues which arise during the process, such as on issues of tax and social security.

Our experience includes representing various large and international institutions, following raids from the Immigration Department of Malaysia which led to the detention of their managerial staff and foreign workers. We have also advised and assisted with the renewal and application of employment passes for expatriates and their dependents, reviewing agreements with service providers and managing issues arising from the employment of foreign workers such as industry standards to encourage companies to act responsibly, forced labour and housing requirements.
