In an increasingly international context, businesses are conscious of the need for practical international mobility. It is widely agreed that mobility is a determining factor in business performance.

International mobility has become a strategic issue for the development of companies abroad.

Issues in relation to the international mobility position of employees are becoming more and more relevant.

Our areas of practice

We advise our clients in the following areas:

• Developing and implementing international mobility policies
• Making and managing international employment contracts
• Welfare issues: advice on the selection of appropriate protective cover and assistance with the relevant formalities
• Optimising the compensation packages of expatriate and "impatriate" employees
• Making best use of employee saving schemes, profit-sharing schemes and share ownership schemes in the context of international mobility
• Introduction, integration and observation of foreign employees

Our approach

Our approach is based on:

• The skill and knowledge of our practice groups, based on our regular work in the field
• The availability of our firm’s expertise in other fields of both law and tax. The complexity of the issues which arise demands collaboration between lawyers who are expert in other fields, for example tax law, in relation to international mobility
• Thoroughness and rigour: we assess requirements, implement strategies, and support clients through the various phases of their operations, both on a non-contentious and on a contentious basis
• The ability to handle international matters through dedicated multi-lingual lawyers, acting within CMS Bureau Francis Lefebvre’s international network and with expert knowledge of international employment law practice.
