About this practice
Workplace issues increasingly cross international borders. The separation between domestic and international matters is largely artificial in a global market.
Cross-border labor and employment matters arise in many different business contexts and are often intertwined with issues of compliance, global mobility, data protection, immigration, compensation and benefits and corporate transactions. Our attorneys provide legal advice in a global context.
