Your First Employees Abroad: Understanding Risks and Implementing Strategies to Navigate Complexities
Monday 06/24/2024 12:30 PM - 01:30 PM   Add to calendar

Competencies: Business (Behavioral), Workplace (Technical) | Intended Audience: Senior-Level
Workplace Application:
This program will cover the considerations that must be undertaken when starting operations abroad with a few employees. 

Many employers in the United States start international expansion slowly, often employing one, two or a few employees (or maybe using them as contractors). While there are many benefits to this type of expansion, the risks related to issues such as Permanent Establishment, tax presence, using independent contractors and/or third-party employers can outweigh those benefits, if not handled properly.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the key components to a successful start-up abroad.
  • Learn how to navigate the risks of international expansion in various countries.
  • Gain insight into making key strategic decisions about international expansion such as jurisdictional choices based on business needs, the relevant legal environment and local cultural challenges.
