General Employment law

In today’s dynamic environment, human resource managers must act quickly and carefully to avoid potential problems associated with employment law. Issues that are particularly complex from a global perspective include:

Loss of key employees;
Transfer/migration of employees;
Outsourcing;
Global harmonization of equity compensation and retirement schemes;
Labor disputes; and
Collective dismissals.

Mergers, acquisitions, privatizations, expansions, alliances, and other strategic and organizational changes require effective global employment and incentive strategies for key staff members.

Optimizing international operations often requires hiring new employees, and relocating, reassigning, or terminating others.
