International Labor & Employment Law

In today’s competitive business environment, global employers face an increasingly complex web of multinational, national and local employment laws and regulations. In partnering with our clients to manage their worldwide workforce issues quickly and effectively, whenever and in whatever jurisdictions they occur, Seyfarth Shaw’s international labor and employment practice group has developed a formidable reputation both in the United States and abroad. Our attorneys focusing on international employment law have particular experience assisting companies with large multi-jurisdictional employment law projects. These projects generally have a strategic, commercial or compliance purpose.  The types of matters we assist clients with include: global compliance projects; global compensation plan implementation and modification; HR due diligence and the integration of workforces as a result of mergers and acquisitions; workforce restructures; international outsourcings; and the development, review and implementation of contractual employment documents such as offer letters, employment contracts, proprietary information agreements, company regulations, non-compete arrangements and other employment-related documents for countries outside the United States.
