Skadden hosted a breakfast seminar and webinar in the firm's New York office on September 24 titled "Making It Work: Employing an EU Workforce Through Transactions and Beyond." The program included an engaging discussion on EU employment, benefits and compensation requirements, with an eye toward the unique challenges that employing an EU workforce poses for U.S. employers not familiar with the union's laws and customs.
Speakers included Skadden lawyers from France, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S.: executive compensation and benefits partners Regina Olshan (moderator) and Erica Schohn, and labor and employment partners John Furfaro and David Schwartz, of counsel Helena Derbyshire and Stephanie Stein, and counsel Ulrich Ziegler. Our guest speaker will be a leading cross-border adviser from Deloitte, compensation and benefits principal Elizabeth Drigotas.
