Fragomen Senior Associate Elizabeth Cleveland Wakefield will present during the Gulf Coast Symposium on HR Issues on Thursday, July 31 from 2:45 pm - 3:45 pm on the session, "Managing Global Immigration in Mergers and Acquisitions." Large Global transactions involving multiple countries are very complicated especially when it comes to employee immigration.
Will employees work permits still be valid after the transaction? Each country has its own unique and complicated set of immigration rules that dictate whether the employment can continue or not. In this session we will look at principles related to immigration in various types of company transactions and help you design strategies for closing the deal without impacting any of your valued employees.
