Global Employment



Globally effective, locally compliant


Employment, labor and benefits issues are complex and challenging for every business — more so when operations cross borders and cultures as part of a multinational presence. Steering safely through complicated laws and regulations in home markets and abroad is critical to maintaining a competitive advantage.

For the second year in a row, our Global Employment Practice was ranked Band 1 by Chambers Global in 2011. With more than 500 locally qualified lawyers — more than any other leading law firm — in 42 countries, we help navigate complex and diverse legal and regulatory issues wherever you operate.

From recruitment to retirement, our lawyers provide seamless and integrated advice to help clients anticipate and avoid problems, as well as deal effectively and sensitively with collective bargaining and works councils issues.

We are especially well-suited to facilitate the movement of people and work around the globe — from executive transfers to outsourcings as well as the implementation of global reorganizations. Our practice is also a world leader in the design and maintenance of global equity-based compensation plans.
