International Employment Lawyer (IEL) is an independent information service dedicated to delivering timely reporting, data, and analysis of the latest trends and developments in the management of multinational organisations’ workforces.
Steered by an editorial board of leading cross-border employment lawyers, our daily news briefing provides in-house counsel, private practitioners, HR professionals, and c-suite readers with breaking news and insight into the business, legal, and compliance challenges facing employers nationally, regionally, and globally.
From the impact of the covid-19 pandemic, modern slavery or supply chain concerns, to the emerging risks of algorithmic decision-making or D&I issues, and everything else in between, IEL has got you covered. Stay informed with our exclusive articles, in-person conferences, surveys, online webinars, workflow tools and IEL Elite – our guide to the world’s leading employment law practices.
Conferences and Awards
IEL conferences offer first-class networking opportunities by bringing together market-leading in-house counsel and private practitioners to discuss the big issues keeping multinational employers awake at night.
In 2024, we will be holding events in Dublin, São Paulo, Singapore, London, New York, and Dubai.
Our annual IEL Awards recognise the very best private practice and in-house teams from around the globe every November. This truly international awards ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the outstanding achievements of leading private practice and in-house lawyers, as well as members of the independent Bar, over the preceding 12 months. See our full list of winners from 2023 here.
