International Labour Law

In addition to mainstream UK employment law, we have established iGlobal Law, a specialist subsidiary advising global companies on international labour and compliance law.

iGlobal provides a single contact point service covering over 100 jurisdictions worldwide. The team’s experience and knowledge of the world’s labour and compliance laws means they can answer legal questions quickly and cost-effectively, bringing in and managing leading local expertise where required.

iGlobal offers seamless, responsive and commercially aware guidance to global, regional and local HR and in-house legal teams on a 24-hour basis. The advice and service delivery are consistent and aligned across multiple countries.

Most of iGlobal’s clients are listed global businesses, many of which are headquartered in the US. Their sectors include business services, software, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, natural resources, and leisure.

Examples of iGlobal’s current or recent work include:

• Operating an EMEA advice hotline for a global business services group.
• Carrying out an employment contract harmonisation project across 17 jurisdictions for a global software group.
• Advising on the best hiring structures and the related documentation in 15 jurisdictions for a leading UK university.
• Advising on numerous cross-border reductions in force programmes involving countries in every part of the world.
• Data privacy, whistleblowing and anti-bribery advice across the EU.
