Global Legal Insights

We are delighted to have been asked to act as Contributing Editors to Global Legal Insights – Employment & Labour Law, and very pleased that this book is now into its 10th edition addressing developments in labour and employment law across 18 jurisdictions worldwide. As can be seen from the variety and detail contained in this book, labour and employment law issues are constantly developing and businesses operating internationally need to maintain their awareness of trends and impending changes in employment law regimes in the jurisdictions in which they operate. At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be receding, more than two years after the World Health Organization declared the pandemic in March 2020. Many of the contributions to this edition reflect the significant impact the pandemic has had, and will continue to have, on labour and employment issues in many different jurisdictions.
As ever, the objective of this book is to provide general counsel, human resource practitioners, lawyers, advisers and managers with an overview of developments in employment and labour law in a variety of jurisdictions across the world. The authors were asked to provide their perspectives on those current and forthcoming changes to the labour and employment law regime in their respective jurisdictions that they considered particularly
important in practice.
Both we and Global Legal Group are very grateful to all the authors for their contributions, and hope that this book provides a useful and interesting snapshot of the important current employment law issues in the jurisdictions it covers.
