International Employment Lawyer: Asia-Pacific Employment Summit

Fragomen is a Gold Sponsor at the International Employment Lawyer: Asia-Pacific Employment Summit taking place on 1-2 July 2026 in Singapore.

The two-day event will bring together senior in-house counsel, HR and ER professionals, and private practice lawyers to explore the challenges and opportunities facing multinational employers and their counsel across the region.

IEL, in conjunction with Global Mobility Lawyer, will be hosting a Global Mobility Masterclass on the morning of Wednesday, 1 July, ahead of the opening of the summit.

Fragomen Managing Partner, Australia & New Zealand, Teresa Liu will moderate a panel on Balancing talent access and local workforce protections in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific’s rapid economic growth and innovation-led industries have created an acute demand for highly skilled foreign workers. At the same time, governments are introducing policies to protect and promote local labour, creating a regulatory friction point for multinational employers. This session will explore how multinationals can navigate these competing priorities: meeting talent needs through global mobility programmes while staying compliant with local labour rules and avoiding social or political backlash. The panel will provide practical insights on immigration policy, employment law, and strategic workforce planning across the region.

Fragomen Partner, Charles Johanes will be a panellist on Data-driven mobility: Strategy, scrutiny, and crisis readiness

Global mobility programmes are undergoing a fundamental shift – from operational support functions to strategic, data-led drivers of workforce planning and risk management. At the same time, governments across the globe are investing heavily in migration data analytics to inform policy development, monitor compliance, and strengthen enforcement. This convergence is reshaping how organisations deploy talent across borders and how quickly they must respond when conditions change. This panel will explore the growing role of data on both sides of the mobility equation as well as how organisations can build robust, data-informed mobility strategies that stand up to geopolitical instability and deliver effective crisis response.
