International Employment Law
In the wake of globalization, many companies have become increasingly international with business entities in multiple countries. This requires an ability to navigate through diverse laws, regulatory requirements, and cultural nuances prevalent in different countries. Additionally, incorporating knowledge of EU- and international law may be relevant when employment relationships span across borders.
For such multinational companies, numerous employment law questions and issues may arise. Seeking advice in multiple countries may be necessary if a company intends to implement policies or procedures which should apply in multiple jurisdictions.

At Littler | Denmark, we are experts in Danish labor and employment law, assisting both Danish and international companies in navigating Danish regulations. Furthermore, with assistance from our international colleagues, we can tailor solutions that works in multiple jurisdictions.
International companies seeking to establish a presence in Denmark, lacking experience with the Danish labor market, can benefit from a more general compliance checkup. Compliance advice may involve a review of employment-related documents, including employment contracts and policies, to identify and correct provisions that are impractical or in violation of Danish legislation.
We also assist companies with secondment agreements, for example, on secondments between the USA and Denmark. There are significant differences in employment law regulation internally between American states, and we have colleagues with expertise in employment law in all US states from Nebraska to Florida.
