Located in the international hub of Asia, the Hong Kong office partners with our local and international clients to provide them with the innovative solutions they need to navigate the region’s ever evolving landscape.

The region’s fast pace and critical place in business, together with diverse cultural and regulatory frameworks, continue to drive demand for legal and commercial expertise that takes into account local cultural and legal frameworks.  We leverage our global network to provide multinational organizations with multi-jurisdictional and cross-border legal advice on employment law, corporate and commercial, transactions and projects.

Our corporate and commercial practice focuses on a wide range of practice such as cross-border mergers and acquisitions, general corporate and commercial, corporate strategies, IPOs, regulatory compliance, tax, and public takeovers in Hong Kong, China, South East Asia, the USA and Europe. Our  lawyers bring strong expertise in the areas of Fintech, E-commerce, healthcare, real estate, financial services, energy and natural resources. The corporate team comprises multi-jurisdictional and cross-practice lawyers with many years of experience.

Our employment lawyers work as part of Seyfarth’s International Employment Law practice. This global team delivers round the clock solutions to the complex labor and employment issues multinational companies face. The Hong Kong team provides strategic advice to international companies with operations across Asia Pacific or which are looking to expand or acquire into the region.  The team covers the full employee lifecycle and range of employment law and compliance projects, in addition to restructuring, acquisition/post-acquisition integration, disputes and internal investigations.
