EMPLOYMENT LAW GOES GLOBAL: FOCUS on ASIA and THE PACIFIC RIM
With the enormous investment of capital and the expansion of U.S. business in Asia and throughout the Pacific Rim, an increasing number of employment lawyers and human resource professionals are being called upon to respond to issues that commonly confront their clients and companies when doing business in China, Japan, India, Korea and throughout the east.
Employment laws, customs and practices are very different from those of the U.S. and vary widely among the APAC countries. Find out what you need to know. Please join us for this informative and practical program designed for attorneys and human resource professionals and taught by experts who have "been there and done that."
