Compensation & Employment in North America

Companies today face an increasingly complex and ever-evolving maze of state, federal, and foreign labor and employment laws. The lawyers in our North America Compensation and Employment Law Practice Group help employers comply with, and successfully navigate, these laws. In fact, we are among the 10 firms US general counsel list most often as “go-to” advisors on employment matters and our practitioners are top-ranked in Chambers and Best Lawyers in America, among others. With our 10 offices in North America augmented by a global team of more than 500 Employment lawyers, we are uniquely positioned to help clients succeed in North America and around the world.

In the next installment of Baker & McKenzie's continuing monthly webinar series, "Navigating US and International Employment Laws and Related Challenges" we discuss "Independent Contractors."
In this Client Alert, we discuss the US SEC’s final rules for implementing the whistleblower program under the Dodd-Frank Act, including provisions for whistleblower protection, award eligibility, submission and claims processes, internal corporate compliance programs and other practical considerations.
In this series of webinars, we provide guidance on navigating economic uncertainty and compliance requirements by discussing obligations, trends and techniques on domestic and international employment issues facing multinational companies in the current global business climate.
