This webinar offers a toolkit for drafting and enforcing workable restrictive covenants in the international context. The Issues are broken down in two parts: Drafting enforceable restrictive covenants for a foreign jurisdiction abroad, and conquering the choice-of-law challenge inherent in cross-border restrictive covenants-that is, covenants with a geographic scope that spans more than one country, covenants with a border-crossing employee like an expatriate, mobile worker or employee with regional/global responsibilities, and covenants with a choice-of-law clause that implicates some legal regime other than the host country's.

Multinationals cannot operate their far-flung employment operations as “silos” anymore. Business and legal imperatives from Sarbanes Oxley, Dodd-Frank and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to the new UK bribery law to working conditions in China and beyond push multinational headquarters to impose compliance standards and rules on employees worldwide. This is why most major multinationals, particularly those based in the United States, have issued tough global codes that spell out the rules for their worldwide operations. This webinar offers a toolkit for drafting and implementing a global corporate code of conduct.
