Our approach takes into account the nuances, customs, and practices in each market to help our clients implement effective business strategies and achieve their human resource goals.

Littler’s geographic reach and singular focus on representing management in every aspect of labor and employment law gives us a unique ability to manage employers’ regional legal needs in Asia Pacific and globally. With extensive knowledge of the Asian employment landscape, we advise APAC-based corporations and multinational companies that are operating or expanding into the region. With more than 1,800 lawyers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, we also connect our APAC-based clients to the rest of the world for labor and employment law advice and disputes.

Our Team's Experience in Asia Pacific

Our global practice includes Littler attorneys who are licensed or qualified to practice in Asia Pacific countries, and others who provide further experience working with Asia Pacific-based companies doing business elsewhere in the world. Together with our working partners, our Littler team covers employment matters across Asia Pacific jurisdictions, including Australia and New Zealand, China, Japan, South Korea, and multiple other countries beyond. They are well versed on the legal and cultural differences that can pose challenges in the workplace for employers with Asia Pacific operations, as well as those based in Asia Pacific who are doing business in the U.S., Canada, Europe, or Latin America.
