The Legal Herald (Issue 01 | 2025)

Dear Reader,

Greetings from Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill!

We are delighted to present to you the latest issue of our firm’s main digital publication for the past three years. It is, interestingly, an eclectic combination of articles that reflect not only the developments in the widely varied legal world we inhabit, but also the firm’s ability to remain on top of these changes.

In this issue, we explore the harsh realities of performance-based employment for professional athletes, revisit the responsibilities of employees through a cautionary tale of the misuse of sick leave, and clarify legal remedies under the Strata Management Act 2013. We also unpack a significant judicial shift on arbitration agreements and whether non-signatories can be bound by them.

Finally, we spotlight the firm’s exciting developments for the year ahead, including new partners and the introduction of new practice areas in 2025.

Enjoy the read!
