Overview

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Employment law is now a global issue.  Multinational employers no longer look at their labor and employment matters from a purely local perspective.  As they protect their global brands, they coordinate approaches across borders.  In doing so, multinational employers must grapple with often conflicting standards for hiring, retaining, disciplining, and terminating employees.  The issues are all the more challenging today, as privacy laws, new pressures for pay equity, anti-corruption laws, and whistleblower laws, from the U.S. and overseas, impose standards of conduct across borders.  Other pressure comes from global organizing efforts.  In addition, employment litigation increasingly involves cross-border issues:  witnesses and documents may be overseas, and cultural issues and expectations are often in the forefront.

This program brings together highly experienced and sophisticated practitioners, in-house counsel, and senior human resources executives from around the world.  They will present in a practical way, how best to advise the multinational employer on these critical issues.
