Legal Updates from APAC, US and UK

With a new administration in the United States, Brexit in the UK, and countries moving beyond COVID-19 in the Asia Pacific, employers continue to face challenges adapting. Join ELA experts as they make sense of these developments and provide practical tips for employers on how to navigate through 2021 and beyond. Expect a lively discussion with highly experienced practitioners on the most pressing issues including:

• Key Issues in US Labor & Employment Law
• Brexit and UK employment law changes that impact global employers and employee mobility
• Updates from Asia Pacific: remote work, mandatory vs. voluntary vaccinations, employee mobility challenges
• The future of work: anticipated employment-related legislation and policies in APAC jurisdictions in 2021
