A leading employment team in Hong Kong

Full spectrum strategic advice on contentious and non-contentious employment issues

Our Employment team is at the forefront in developing sophisticated solutions to the most complex employment and benefits related issues facing clients in the region. Consistently receiving top-tier recognition from Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500, the team is renowned for its extensive experience advising a diverse portfolio of clients which includes leading international banks and corporations, domestic conglomerates and government bodies.

Whether navigating contentious or non-contentious advisory work, dispute resolution, transactional matters, or strategic employment issues, clients receive comprehensive and coordinated advice tailored to their unique circumstances. This integrated approach ensures that even the most complex HR projects are managed with precision.

 

Additionally, our comprehensive guidance on occupational retirement schemes in Hong Kong, including the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, employee share option schemes, and legal counsel on employer and employee obligations, ensures that clients are fully supported in every aspect of their employment needs.

JSM is also a dedicated supporter of diversity and inclusion. As one of the very few law firms in Hong Kong with this capacity, we regularly provide strategic counseling to companies on the development of policies and procedures to address DEI issues and help companies craft and implement successful DEI programs. We also help clients analyse their current employee DEI-related metrics, identify areas for improvement and develop and implement necessary changes.

Our lawyers maintain strong connections within the HR community across Asia, particularly in Hong Kong, where they are members of influential employment-related chambers and committees. This involvement allows us to stay ahead of industry trends and contribute to the shaping of employment laws in Hong Kong, ensuring that our clients have access to leading-edge insight on crucial changes in legislation and best practice.

We aim to be on top of the latest HR related news and regulations so that we can update our clients on changes in law and practice. We ensure our clients are kept abreast of the latest legal developments through our alert service. Our employment articles are frequently requested by external publications for re-publication and our lawyers are regular contributors to various legal journals and employment law publications. We have published a series of employment law and discrimination law reports for Hong Kong and the region.
