Cross-Border Catch-Up: Top 5 International Jurisdictions for Employment Law

June 21, 2024

In this episode of the Cross-Border Catch-Up, Shirin Aboujawde (of counsel, New York) is joined by Skye Hao (associate, Atlanta) for a fast-paced review of Shirin’s 5 favorite jurisdictions worldwide for employers. Shirin offers a synopsis of the employment law landscape in Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. Skye and Shirin discuss the favorable factors in these jurisdictions’ employment laws, such as whether they offer employees a right to reinstatement; the extent that they require payments at the end of the employment relationship; the ease with which employers can terminate the employment relationship (including caps on damages); and the ease with which employers can make changes to the terms and conditions of employment.
