Now housed within its broader overarching litigation function, Clifford Chance’s employment team is currently best-suited to advising employers on contentious matters. Many of these matters are for institutional bank and fund clients of the firm and frequently involve both core employment issues as well as regulatory scrutiny, an area that Jonathan Wong is particularly adept. ‘Very responsive’ senior associate Helen Fu has ’solid technical knowledge on Hong Kong employment issues’, both from a contentious and non-contentious perspective, including assisting financial institutions on the drafting/updating of their incentive arrangements.
