The employment team at Seyfarth Shaw LLP stands out for its international focus, regularly assisting multinational employers with a full range of labour and employment related issues, including day-to-day HR matters and complex multi-jurisdictional projects. The team’s offering was significantly bolstered by the arrival of Kathryn Weaver from Lewis Silkin in January 2023, who brings extensive experience advising employers on problematic terminations, separation agreements, and restrictive covenants disputes. Weaver is based in Hong Kong and leads the team alongside Darren Perry in Melbourne and Peter Talibart in London. Other key names within the team include quadruple-qualified in Hong Kong, England and Wales, Australia and the PRC Wan Li, who is able to effectively bridge the cultural gap between Chinese and international companies, and is widely recognised for his representation of clients across a variety of employment issues.
