Seyfarth’s Darren Perry and Chris Gardner Named 2022 "5-Star Employment Lawyers" by Human Resources Director Magazine

Seyfarth International Employment partners Darren Perry and Chris Gardner were named 2022 “5-Star Employment Lawyers” by Human Resources Director Magazine (HRD). The winners of the 2022 “5-Star Employment Lawyers” awards demonstrate the speed, skill, and sophistication with which legal practitioners are operating to meet their clients’ needs.

Over a period of 15 weeks, HRD sourced feedback from employment leaders to identify the best employment lawyers in Australia. The research team also spoke to hundreds of HR professionals nationwide by phone, asking them to rate the employment lawyers they had worked with over the previous 12 months. In addition, the team sought the opinions of employment lawyers themselves to find out who they would recommend. At the end of the research period, the nominees that received the highest rankings in terms of work quality, specialist expertise, and client service were declared "5‑Star" award winners in the field of employment law.

A partner in Seyfarth’s Melbourne office, Gardner has advised some of Australia's leading employers on workplace strategy, complex human resources issues, and high-stakes litigation for more than 20 years.
