A discussion regarding the lack of legal privilege for in-house counsel in Europe.

Gone global? More and more companies are stretching their operations across the world; in-house employment lawyers can no longer afford to be experts only in US employment law. Instead, those who work for multinational companies must be able to manage complex multijurisdictional human resources projects, as well as employment issues arising in many countries simultaneously. This panel will address some of the key challenges such as managing global reductions in force, and provide advice on best practices.
