Watch now | Employment considerations when expanding or growing a business in the UK or the USA

For businesses looking to expand or grow across borders, understanding the employment law landscape is crucial. In collaboration with Ballard Spahr, we recently hosted a webinar exploring the key employment law differences between the UK and USA, offering insights for companies considering expansion - whether through acquisition or organic growth.

Key Topics Covered:

• Share acquisition and asset purchase considerations – We examined the high-level employment law implications that arise during international transactions, highlighting key differences businesses should be aware of.
• Organic growth employment management  – Our discussion explored the varying employment starter rights in each jurisdiction, helping businesses understand how to navigate these complexities.
• Emerging trends – We provided a forward-looking perspective on current developments and how they may shape employment law in the future.

Key Takeaways:

One of the most significant insights from the webinar was the stark contrast in employment law approaches between the UK and the USA. While the USA is moving towards a more employer-friendly stance, the UK is shifting away from this approach.

For businesses planning to expand, these differences can present challenges and require careful consideration. Seeking legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction is essential to ensuring compliance and avoiding potential pitfalls.
