Several employment partners at Australian corporate firm Corrs Chambers Westgarth are in talks about leaving for King & Wood Mallesons.

“We have been aware for a couple of months that some partners in our employment practice have been approaching other law firms with a view to a move. We are aware of those approaches to good mid-market firms and to KWM. We are supportive of their decision to explore their options but are yet to receive any resignations,” Corrs said in a statement.
