Although not the largest firm in town, peers and clients agree that Tanner De Witt is good at what it does. Labour and employment is one of those areas of practice. Kim Boreham is a litigator by training and has a history of successfully representing clients in Hong Kong’s Court of First Instance. One peer at a rival firm describes Boreham as “knowledgeable, professional, and somebody that you want on your side in court”. Tanner De Witt’s litigation department is particularly well known in Hong Kong but the employment practice also has a strong non-contentious capability.
This past year, Boreham led a Tanner De Witt team that successfully defended two inter-dealer brokers against a claim brought by their former employer, which alleged that bonus payments should have been included in calculation of payment in lieu. The HK$50 million (US$6.4 million) dispute began in 2007.
