A world of legal solutions, for you

You may need to transfer senior managers and highly skilled employees across borders; to recruit, retain and compensate talent in an increasingly global labour market; to address trade union issues in multiple countries; and to understand and comply with complex, rapidly evolving labour and employment regulations and practices.

To keep pace with a mobile and global workforce, L&E Global’s member firms have broadened their individual business development plans, while employing a proactive approach to provide workplace law services to clients operating in multiple regions. For the firms, this meant the rapid growth of their international practice group and an extension of their reputation in each jurisdiction. Most importantly, it changed the mindset of all lawyers, whose focus shifted from an inward, national approach, to an outward, global approach to business.

 

We offer transparent billing services

Our clients tell us that in multi-jurisdictional matters and comparative studies, they benefit not only from our extensive international footprint, but also from our high degree of partner involvement, which ensures the continuity, reliability and efficiency of our services.

We have learned from our experience with clients across the world that there are a number of components required for the delivery of a seamless service. These include a dedicated, appropriately staffed client team, a single point of contact, simplified billing arrangements, and efficient cross-border advice and counsel.

 

One world, one contact

When you engage one of our member firms, you will work with a responsible partner who will bring together an international team with the appropriate expertise, coordinate all labour & employment services and communicate regularly with you to ensure that your needs are being met and that you are satisfied with our services, as part of L&E Global’s systematic quality plan.

 

Global presence, local perspective

Even in the era of far-reaching international trade agreements and regional economic and political partnerships, the majority of laws and regulations governing the workplace are still determined by the individual countries where employees work. Employment and pension law is comprehensive, but also complex and at times even contradictory.

Our contacts with employment lawyers in 80+ countries worldwide help clients navigate the maze of employment regulations, contractual agreements and other legal requirements employers have to contend with in their business. In addition, we help our clients become more efficient by assisting in the business decision process and pointing out ways of implementing decisions as early and as cost-effectively as possible. Our lawyers discuss the risks, opportunities and alternatives available to clients. Our employment law specialists counsel clients on labour law issues affecting businesses across the globe.
