US and Canadian Cross-Border Employment and Immigration Issues - International Employers Forum Seminar

On Tuesday, March 28th Torkin Manes hosted an International Employers Forum session on cross-border employment and immigration law.

Attendees received practical advice on dealing with a cross-border workforce, with topics including:

• cross-border employment issues together with immigration, employment rules, non-competes and restrictive covenants
• the differences in employment law between Canada and the US
• the legal and regulatory issues to consider when transferring employees across the border

A Q&A session followed the presentations offering an opportunity for attendees to ask questions related to their specific corporate situations to our panel of three subject-matter experts:

William D. Wright, Partner and Chair of the International Employment Practice Group at Fisher Phillips (Philadelphia, PA and Washington, DC)

Daniel Pugen, Partner, Employment & Labour Group at Torkin Manes (Toronto, ON)
