Sam Everatt, Executive Director of Ius Laboris said, "We are pleased to welcome Yulchon and Kiely Thompson Caisley in the important Asia-Pacific region where our multinational clients require local HR law advice.

Chris Engels, chairman of Ius Laboris said, "These two top quality law firms will assist our multinational clients worldwide who are in, or expanding into, the Asia-Pacific Rim area. As ever with HR law it is important to have the best legal advisors on the ground as employment and labour law varies widely from country to country."
