Overview

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Employment law is no longer a local issue.  Global employers want global solutions.  Of course, multinationals must grapple with often conflicting standards for hiring, retaining, disciplining, and terminating employees. 

But hiring and firing, and moving employees across borders, are only the beginning of the problem.  Multinationals now need coordinated policies on issues as varied as diversity and pay equity. 

As multinationals expand their footprint, they require guidance on cross-border acquisitions and divestitures, and the labor and employment laws that may either help or hinder those plans. 

And, in this new age of the whistleblower, multinationals increasingly conduct cross-border investigations.  How to carry out a cross-border investigation?  How does counsel preserve the attorney-client privilege across borders?  For lawyers advising multinationals, these are now essential issues. 

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 in these critical issues.
