Led from Hong Kong by Wendy Wong, Simmons & Simmons is well-equipped to handle a wide variety of contentious and non-contentious work for employers involving multi-jurisdictional APAC and broader global issues. Wong, who combines ‘strategic insight with deep legal expertise’, regularly advises on complex terminations involving the “clawback” of deferred compensation and disputes involving allegations of discrimination and sexual harassment. Splitting her time between Hong Kong and Singapore, the vastly experienced Fiona Loughrey has tremendous gravitas throughout APAC, with work spanning discrimination and wrongful dismissal claims, data privacy issues and negotiating employment contracts and separations. The arrival of Jennifer Tam from Johnson Stokes & Master in May 2025 further enhances the team’s capabilities particularly for sensitive workplace investigations and employment litigation.
