Baker McKenzie is praised for combining local expertise with pragmatic advice, underpinned by its ability to coordinate across the firm’s international network. The team regularly handles cross-border compliance projects, global investigations, and corporate support alongside M&A mandates. ‘Always on top of what is going on in the employment landscape’, Tess Lumsdaine is a key resource to clients on training and compliance, as well as contentious matters, which frequently include intricate multi-jurisdictional investigations. Drawing upon many years’ experience of handling Greater China matters, the ’insightful and dependable’ Jonathan Isaacs, who co-heads the team alongside Lumsdaine, is also instructed by multinational clients navigating the complexities of the local market. The ‘outstanding’ Roberta Chan regularly handles contentious employment matters as part of her broad litigation offering and is a key member of the team that also includes Ken Ng, whose litigation focus includes the enforcement of post-termination restrictive covenants, and Sonia Wong, whose broad employment offering encompasses advisory, corporate support and litigation expertise.
