Both events are associated with publication of  a legal guide  "Multi-jurisdictional business transfers – employee issues "

Our guide offers a concise and practical overview of the key employment law issues to consider when dealing with employee transfers in business sales and outsourcing transactions in 32 key jurisdictions in EMEA, South and Central America and Asia-Pacific.

The material is presented in simple Q&A format and covers the key legal requirements in each jurisdiction regarding information and consultation with employees, unions and other bodies, as well as setting out an overview of employee protection on a transfer.

In addition, or perhaps more importantly, in the lead article we share our experience on best practice in managing multi-jurisdictional transfers and share our view on what are the most challenging issues and jurisdictions.
