On 29 November 2024, Llinks triumphantly concluded its annual seminar in Beijing, focusing on "Legal Issues and Risk Management in Staff Optimisation and Structural Restructuring" for the year 2024.
The event was spearheaded by Llinks partner, Mr. Patrick Gu, who delivered a keynote address. His presentation concentrated on the pressing issues of workforce optimisation and structural restructuring under the circumstance of economic globalisation and the digital transformation wave currently sweeping across industries.
Mr. Gu delved into the myriad legal challenges that companies face during workforce optimisation, including questions of legality, public opinion management, crisis management and response, and employee relations. He traced the practical steps of workforce optimisation and restructuring, providing an in-depth analysis of the various strategies companies might employ, the preparatory work required before initiating projects, key operational considerations during the project, and potential risks along with mitigation strategies. Drawing from his wealth of practical experience, Mr. Gu shared insights from case studies, which piqued the interest and elicited enthusiastic responses from the attendees.
In the closing segment, Mr. Gu engaged in an interactive discussion with in-house legal chiefs and heads of relevant departments from various enterprises on labour and employment law issues they face in their daily operations, marking a fruitful end to the seminar.
