Relocation of an employee (e.g.
attorney) to a foreign assignment is now a commonplace occurrence.
Providing assistance to clients regarding issues related to relocation,
transfer, and/or a facility move are perplexing problems for the attorney.
The fee-for-service environment is not designed to support professional
consulting where just one person or a small group of employees is
involved. This is especially true for the following questions:
- What should I pay a controller
in Quito?
- What about Unemployment
Insurance in Mexico?
- Is private insurance available
in Lithuania?
- Do I have coverage in the Congo?
- How much will it cost to live in
Israel?
- What should I ask before I go to
Krakow?
- What allowances will I need in
Tokyo?
- What is fair pay in Wellington?
- Is there a difference between
expatriate and third party national treatment?
These simple questions oftentimes
require hours of research, most of which is spent finding the source or
defining the question. This course is one of several that deal with
special situations that often occur to the attorney. The focus is on
information and resources available on the Internet. The course goal is to
save attorneys time and effort, while allowing them to give credible
advice and assistance to their clients regarding the relocation of a
management level employee to a foreign assignment. |
