As more and more companies invest overseas, the need for readily available,
accurate, and detailed knowledge of labour and employment laws in multiple
jurisdictions becomes an essential resource for employers and their counsel.
Now, this one-of-a-kind new loose-leaf publication provides exactly such a
tool. Launching with chapters on no fewer than sixteen countries – all of them
among the world’s most important commercial jurisdictions and labour markets –
the Handbook promises to become, as it expands with new chapters on more
jurisdictions added regularly, the preeminent, indispensable source of
information on labour and employment laws worldwide.
Each country chapter, written by a distinguished legal practitioner in that
country, is based on a standard outline that allows users to compare the legal
