Expert guidance where careers, jurisdictions and laws intersect.
International & Cross-Border Employment Law
Support for professionals whose careers take them across borders.
When your working life spans more than one country, employment issues become more complex — different laws, different processes, and higher personal stakes. We understand those pressures and guide you through them with clarity, care and confidence.
Cole Khan advises individuals facing international and cross-border employment challenges, including disputes arising overseas, problems tied to a foreign headquarters, or matters governed by multiple jurisdictions at once. We help you understand your rights, assess your options and take decisive next steps.
Whatever. Whenever.
We’re here.
It begins with advice. You’ll have the ear of an experienced partner (not a call centre) from our very first conversation. We’ll give you practical guidance there and then. No waiting around or worrying about what to do next.
Advice might be all you need. If we need to take things further, we have 35-years combined experience fighting injustice head-on all the way to the Supreme Court. And winning.
Meet our team.
