Employment Partner | Global Law Firm | HKG

This global law firm is creating a new employment practice in Hong Kong and seeks a dedicated employment specialist to lead and develop the offering. This is a strategic new headcount for the firm, designed to complement a growing regional network of employment lawyers and to meet growing client demand across Asia. The role will appeal to an experienced practitioner who is ready to shape a practice, drive market presence, and work alongside colleagues across multiple jurisdictions on cross‑border mandates.

The successful partner will advise on the full spectrum of contentious and non‑contentious employment matters, including HR advisory, investigations, employee mobility, restructuring, and disputes. You will collaborate closely with the firm's corporate, regulatory, insurance, and commercial teams, contributing to multi‑disciplinary matters where employment input is increasingly central. A strong track record in managing client relationships, supervising teams, and delivering high‑quality, pragmatic advice is essential. The firm offers strong institutional support, including established regional and global employment groups ready to integrate Hong Kong into their advisory framework.

This position offers an excellent platform for an ambitious partner or senior counsel with a portable practice and a vision for building a market‑leading team. You will benefit from the firms international client base, sophisticated infrastructure, and genuine investment in practice growth. The environment strongly supports practice development, collaboration, and career mobility, with clear opportunities to shape strategy and expand your footprint across Asia and beyond.
