While increasing globalisation provides employees and executives with a wide world of career opportunities, it can also lead to complexity and confusion when employment contract issues arise. Employment contract laws vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another, meaning that the perfectly reasonable contract you signed in the UK may not protect you if, for example, the company's shareholder agreements are subject to the laws of another country. Disputes can and do arise out of cross-border contractual issues like this, and when they do, you need specialist legal help.
