Greenberg Traurig Attorney Kelly Dobbs Bunting Presents on International Labor and Employment Law

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- “Understanding the critical elements of international employment contracts is increasingly important for labor and employment attorneys as more companies work globally, often juggling employees across entities and borders,” said Kelly Bunting, a shareholder in the Philadelphia office of international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP.

Bunting recently moderated a panel of speakers on the topic as part of a global webinar that included participants and faculty in several continents. The webinar, “What U.S. Lawyers Need to Know About International Employment Contracts and Secondment,” addressed a wide range of issues important to in-house counsel, human resources professionals and outside counsel, including:

• employment agreements and compensation and benefits issues in employment agreements
• compliance and risk management in secondment and cross border employment arrangements
• conflict of law
• representing the ex-patriot employee
• arrangements for temporarily transferring employees to international positions

The webinar was the third in a series presented by the American Bar Association Section of Labor and Employment Law.

Bunting, who focuses her practice on labor and employment law, is one of more than 100 members in Greenberg Traurig’s Labor & Employment Practice. The group offers insights and analysis of the latest labor and employment developments, including legislation, regulations, cases, policies and trends on its blog at www.gtleblog.com.
