Provided by Baker McKenzie

We advise our clients on the "people" aspects of operating a business. We support every stage of organizational development, understanding the objectives along with our clients' organizational ethos and taking into consideration the local culture. From entering new jurisdictions, to exiting and every stage in between, clients come to us for our support to navigate an evolving maze of local – and country – specific labor and employment laws when managing cross-border workplace compliance; structuring employee mobility programs; strategizing and implementing rationalizations, restructurings and reductions in force; implementing data privacy and HR data protection programs; advising on transactions and to lead on impactful disputes and investigations.

Our Compensation Practice provides one-stop, full-service domestic and international legal, regulatory and tax analysis and advice on share-based and other incentive compensation programs, executive compensation arrangements, employee benefits, pensions and global mobility programs. Our practitioners maintain an appreciation of each client’s global strategy while providing cutting-edge advice on the design, implementation, governance and maintenance of equity compensation and other incentive plans, deferred compensation plans, benefit and retirement plans, and other compensation arrangements offered to employees, executives, consultants and directors around the world, as well as on risk-mitigation and risk-reduction techniques.
