Data breaches, privacy laws and the challenges companies face when their employees cross international borders all came into play at a June 29 legal educational session sponsored by the Practising Law Institute (PLI), “Employee Personal Data: Cross-Border Data Privacy Challenges.”

The data privacy panel was part of PLI’s International Employment Law 2015 seminar, chaired by Philip Berkowitz, U.S. co-chair of Littler Mendelson’s international employment law practice, and featuring legal experts from around the world offering tips on how organizations can avoid legal landmines—including e-discovery and privacy complications—as they move employees around the globe.
