Catherine LeungPartner and Head of Employment

I am qualified in Hong Kong and in England & Wales and speak both English and Cantonese. I spent my early years in Canada, and obtained my law degree and PCLL from the University of Hong Kong with one year spent on a legal exchange scholarship at the University of California, Berkeley. Having studied and lived in Hong Kong over the past 28 years, I am familiar with the local culture and have extensive legal knowledge of employment law.

My clients come from a wide range of industry sectors including financial services, luxury retail and tech firms. I enjoy working closely with legal, HR and senior executives to provide practical and strategic advice on a full range of employment law issues including redundancies, bonus entitlement disputes, team moves, data privacy, and complex discrimination and sexual harassment cases. I also advise clients in relation to investigations brought by the Labour Department and the Equal Opportunities Commission. A lot of my work has an international element to it, and I work closely with colleagues in our Ius Laboris firms across Asia Pacific on regional employment law projects and navigate clients through complex cross border issues.

I speak at external seminars and provide internal client training on topical employment issues, most recently on diversity and inclusion. I have contributed articles to numerous trade publications including Asian Legal Business, Hong Kong Economic Times, HK Lawyer and HR Magazine. I was also a contributing editor to the Lexis Practical Guidance for Hong Kong employment.
