Transatlantic Labor & Immigration Update

Companies operating in the U.S. face challenges in hiring workers who need work visas, moving employees from international offices into the U.S., and staying abreast of constantly changing policies and practice in employment and business immigration law.
Businesses need up-to-date guidance to manage their U.S. workforce effectively and strategies to develop effective global mobility policies.
Our panel will discuss:
