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.

Since the 2004 revisions to the US Sentencing Guidelines, many companies have invested significant time, energy and funds to enhance their internal ethics and compliance programs and infrastructures to ensure that they are effective at detecting and deterring criminal and unethical conduct.

With the increase of corporate globalization, potentially relevant evidence can reside in many countries. From foreign language and computer language barriers, to privacy laws and safe harbor issues, counsel encounter numerous challenges when litigation is anticipated. It’s critical to understand the rules and regulations that govern the access to and the use of foreign data. This session will examine ethical issues and practical solutions for cross-border e-discovery, including e-discovery vs.

The global expansion of criminal risk for international companies and their executives progresses with lightning speed: some countries are setting even more stringent standards than in the US. Cooperation between international agencies is growing.

Given the high financial and reputational damage that criminal liability causes, in–house counsel need to understand the risks that their global companies and executives face.
