International Employment Law
We have extensive experience navigating the complex nature of employment and people issues related to hiring and maintaining a global workforce. We regularly help clients manage and resolve employment and global mobility issues in more than 100 countries, each with unique legal structures. In addition, we help structure and implement cross-border employee compensation and benefits arrangements.
We assist companies in opening or expanding their operations globally or in relocating employees internationally; including implementing global incentive schemes, downsizing international workforces, transferring employees and effecting both individual and collective dismissals. In a world of greater regulation, we also undertake independent, cross-border investigative work, such as employee investigations into sensitive and confidential disciplinary or regulatory matters.
Excellent Client Service
Excellent client service is part of our DNA. We offer pragmatic, market-aware and focused legal advice based on each client’s specific objectives. Our team understands the business pressures, cultural norms and nuances of doing business in the UK, the US and further afield. In essence, we have fantastic lawyers who have proven credentials that can help mitigate risk, achieve goals and ultimately help in building success.
Leveraging Our Global Network
We use a global network of trusted advisers because they mirror our philosophy of understanding our clients’ businesses and provide exceptional client service. As local counsel, our network provides advice which is pragmatic, commercial and responsive.
