Thank you for joining us for this client seminar. This session focused on labor and employment law as it intersects with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance for U.S. companies with European employees, covering both European and U.S. jurisdictions. We explored drafting and managing employment contracts, as well as the privacy aspects of the employment relationship under GDPR. Attendees gained practical insights into managing employment matters across borders while ensuring compliance and effective HR practices.
