International Labour Law

In a globalised economy, labour law does not stop at national borders.

In a globalised economy, labour law does not stop at national borders. Increasingly, companies are having to deal with international labor relations: from sending employees abroad to setting up international working conditions structures. The attorneys at Guldemond Advocaten have extensive experience in this complex matter and assist international companies in all aspects of cross-border labor relations.

International mobility

The world is the working territory of the modern professional. Whether short-term projects or long-term international assignments, good legal guidance is essential. We assist companies in shaping international mobility, looking not only at employment law aspects, but also at tax, social security and immigration issues.If necessary, we link up with specialists in our network. Our experience shows that successful international deployments start with thorough preparation. We advise on the right contract structure, ensure compliance with local regulations and help manage expectations on both sides.

Cross-border employment

For international groups, managing cross-border labour relations is a daily challenge. We assist companies with issues such as:

  • The choice of applicable law
  • The optimal contract structure for international workers
  • Coordinating working conditions across national borders
  • Compliance with local labour laws
  • The protection of trade secrets in the international context

International reorganisations

International reorganisations bring together different legal systems. We have extensive experience in guiding cross-border restructurings, ensuring a coordinated approach that takes into account local requirements and international interests. The timing and coordination of different national procedures are especially crucial in this respect. Our experience with international reorganisations means we know where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them.

Strategic HR policy

For international companies, developing consistent HR policies across national borders is a major challenge. We help develop international employment conditions structures that both do justice to local requirements and fit within international company policies. An important trend we see is the increasing need for flexibility in international employment relationships. We advise on modern forms of employment such as remote working and hybrid constructions, making sure they fit within different national legal systems.

Network of specialists

Through our international network of specialists, we can also advise on local employment law in other jurisdictions. We coordinate complex international processes and ensure that you keep a single point of contact, even when multiple jurisdictions are involved.

Privacy and data protection

In international labour relations, privacy plays an increasingly important role. We advise on the international exchange of employee data, monitoring of international employees and compliance with various national privacy regimes.
