International Employment Lawyers

Organisations with international operations need to manage risks and maximise the opportunities in their people strategies whilst complying with laws of multiple jurisdictions.

Wherever your employment issues arise, our team can deliver a coordinated and commercial approach worldwide.

Using our own network of offices in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia where we have employment lawyers on the ground advising on local laws, or working with our Global Network of firms covering almost 200 jurisdictions worldwide, we can provide a seamless service to project manage international advice or introduce you directly to leading employment lawyers where you need them.

We regularly advise clients wanting to expand their business into the UK. Working together with our corporate tax team we can help identify the appropriate corporate structure in the UK, recommend payroll providers and help draft and put in place the appropriate contracts of employment and policies required when employing staff locally for the first time.

Our Employment team can advise you on formulating your business strategy as well as at each step of its implementation.

Our priority is to respond to your requirements at the same time as maintaining the highest degree of legal certainty.

Our team becomes involved mainly in one-off operations that involve structural problems, in particular in situations that are stressed or conflictual, working both with French and international companies.

We also work alongside our Corporate and M&A teams in the context of sales, mergers and acquisitions and outsourcing.

We advise clients on the following issues:

• business reorganisations and collective redundancy exercises undertaken for economic reasons
• collective bargaining and employee relationship management
• salary based saving schemes
• individual employment relationships
• individual and collective employment disputes
• IT charters and whistleblowing systems, and
• delegation of powers.
