Employment Issues Affecting Multinational Employers

By Littler Mendelson, P.C.

The business landscape is experiencing an unprecedented period of globalization. Domestic enterprises now outsource internationally on a large scale and establish partnerships in far-flung locations where business terms may be advantageous.
