Global Legal Insights

We are delighted to have been asked again to act as Contributing Editors to Global Legal Insights - Employment & Labour Law, and very pleased that this book is now into its 11th edition addressing developments in labour and employment law across 19 countries worldwide. As can be seen from the variety and detail contained in this book, labour and employment law issues never stand still 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 labour market in many areas of the globe is being affected by the impact of high inflation and economic downturn, as well as the 'great resignation' and the rise of agile working in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 which they considered to be 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 which it covers.
