Anita LamClifford Chance

Clifford Chance‘s employment practice is widely acclaimed for its ‘very efficient and effective’ management of complex litigation spanning multiple jurisdictions and overseeing diverse employment initiatives; this is particularly notable for clients within the corporate and financial service sectors. Post the pandemic, the team demonstrated its adaptability to meet challenges by harnessing legal technology and data analysis to optimise the delivery of legal services; this strategic approach proved useful in tackling the heightened instances of contentious departures of senior personnel, organisational restructurings, discrimination claims, and the complexities of transitioning back to physical workplaces in the post-pandemic landscape. Leading the team is the ‘very detailed-oriented’ Anita Lam, often sought after by clients who seek advice in contentious employment disputes, such as internal investigations and C-suite executive exits.
