"Building and Managing Multi-Jurisdictional Teams: Compliance Considerations Behind a Growing Trend"
Presented by Fisher Phillips LLP

Talent acquisition is becoming an increasingly international game. Advances in technology and “proof of concept” experiences during the pandemic have prompted many hiring managers to pursue the “best available” irrespective of their physical location. Indeed, we are seeing a proliferation of multi-jurisdictional teams across myriad business functions, including within previously wholly domestic enterprises. 

This movement carries a great many potential benefits. However, this new paradigm also is replete with employment law compliance obligations. While business leaders chase key talent and cohesion, corporate counsel should stay vigilant in respect of the HR compliance distinctions that arise as businesses hire across borders. Accordingly, this session will explore the employment law issues to be considered when a business is building or managing a single, integrated team operating in multiple jurisdictions. Specific topics will include practical employment law considerations for international teams, options for hiring talent abroad and the resulting impact on compliance obligations, and a discussion of how team-wide policies and procedures may be impacted by international team growth.

Speakers:

  • Michael Avila, Partner, Fisher Phillips LLP
  • Lauren Cell, Assistant General Counsel, The Vanguard Group

"Why Every Employer Needs an Immigration Policy"
Presented by Stevens & Lee

Many employers find their business needs are well-served by attracting and retaining top-tier international talent. However, without a strategic immigration policy, some employers may be risking or sacrificing time, money and employee capital to achieve their employment objectives. This panel will address considerations for employment of foreign workers in large and small business alike and global mobility for multinational corporations.

Speakers:

  • Manuela M. Morais, Co-Chair, Stevens & Lee’s Immigration and Nationality Practice
  • John Mazzeo, Senior Director, Associate General Counsel, Vertical Screen, Inc.
