Many of Judy’s clients hire workers across national boundaries. Some have parent companies or subsidiaries outside of the United States. The cross-border relationships add a layer of legal complexity and risk, no matter the size of the business. Good legal advice is important.
Judy specializes in helping businesses whose workforce is not structured in a uniform way. Remote workers, part-timers, independent contractors and gig workers are all providing labor. Some people work on occasional projects and a few may be employed by affiliated entities. There may be gaps between the laws and regulations governing the workforce and the realities of worker relationships in the digital economy. An HR Lawyer can help protect your company.
