Labor and Immigration Support for Tech and Media Group

A group of technology and media companies needed ongoing legal coverage for labor and immigration matters across multiple jurisdictions. The workforce mixed local hires, foreign employees, and expats — each category triggering different visa, contract, and tax-residency requirements. Regulations shifted frequently, transfers between entities demanded reworked contracts and updated immigration status, and labor and immigration authorities applied strict reporting deadlines. Beneficiaries needed tailored support on long-term residency and tax residency tied to international agreements. The client required a single legal partner to keep hiring, mobility, and inspections compliant — before procedural slippage turned into fines or licensing risk.

We structured end-to-end labor and immigration support across the group's jurisdictions:

1. Hiring and termination — drafted and managed employment contracts, terminations, and internal transfers for local hires, foreign workers, and expats, aligning each step with the applicable labor regime.
2. Work visas — handled issuance, renewal, and cancellation, adjusting documentation to changing immigration rules and mitigating legal risk during status transitions.
3. Authority coordination — interacted with labor and immigration authorities, tracked reporting deadlines, and prepared the company for labor and immigration inspections to limit exposure on compliance, payroll, and tax deductions.
4. Beneficiary support — advised on long-term residency, tax residency, and treatment under international agreements, with visa and employment coverage tailored to each beneficiary.
