Mastering trending employment & immigration developments
In our current digital and flexible world, new employment and immigration law topics are emerging almost on daily basis.
Our labour and immigration law panels will offer you discussions on a wide variety of trending topics in the field of international employment and immigration. Thus, take with us a deep dive into the latest employment and immigration law developments, ranging from implementing sustainable elements, over digitalisation, transparency, secrecy and flexibility at the workplace to working across borders.
M&A Symphony: Crafting success in the public marketplace
The M&A panels will focus on takeover tactics and transaction terms in public M&A deals. Our panels will delve into the intricacies of structuring and executing successful public M&A transactions, providing insights on current M&A climate and emerging opportunities in public markets.
Joint Sessions - The carrot and the stick: Navigating Employee Benefit Plans and director liabilities
Our joint panels will dive into the intricacies of employment-related M&A matters. Together, we will discuss director’s liabilities and explore strategies for incentive and benefits plans in the context of mergers and acquisitions, analyse tools to master workforce integration planning and discuss the use of golden handshakes and golden parachutes. After that, you will be fully prepared to bargain for some real gold at the Grand Bazaar.
