Overview

Meilin Ng Canova, a visiting legal professional in the Philadelphia office, draws on five years of experience as a labor and employment lawyer with a leading law firm in Brazil where she has helped U.S. and international businesses address a variety of labor and employment challenges arising from cross border operations. She is well versed in the issues involved in mergers and acquisitions and often advises clients on employee hiring and terminations, employment contracts and policies, wage and hour rules, restrictive covenants, and salaries and benefits.

Meilin is on leave from a diversified law firm based in São Paulo, Brazil, where she assists clients with labor and employment-related aspects of business combinations and corporate restructurings, including impacts on employment contracts, employee benefits, communications, and labor relations. She also defends clients in judicial and administrative litigation brought by former employees and governmental authorities.

*Meilin is admitted to practice in Brazil. She is not admitted to practice in the U.S. but is supervised by a licensed member of the Pennsylvania bar.
