      Supporting organizations to address the full labor lifecycle and empower employment across borders

      From reorganizations and leadership changes to shifting workforce strategies, from hiring decisions to union engagements, employment and labor issues rarely arrive neatly packaged. For in-house legal teams, it’s about being able to connect the dots and reduce risk as decisions unfold across borders and local laws.

      What’s more, limited line of sight across the organization leads to reactive responses — deepening local labor challenges as organizations struggle to scale. The pressure points span the entire enterprise, from HR and legal to the workforce at large.

      With a multidisciplinary approach to global legal and business advisory, KPMG labor law and employment lawyers work alongside legal, HR and wider business functions to help protect the entire labor lifecycle. Transforming employment and labor requirements into coordinated strategies with a single point of contact, we’re here to turn legal complexity into cross-border confidence that helps protect people, process and performance.

      How we help

      The Labor Law & Employment practice helps organizations manage and maintain workforce change across jurisdictions. Drawing on sector-specific insight, technology-enabled delivery and wider global capabilities, we enhance informed decision-making across the labor lifecycle. Together, we align legal strategy with business needs to enable scalable, compliant talent and workforce transformation across borders.

      Day-to-day employment and workforce advisory

      As operations evolve and workforces shift, we provide practical guidance aligned to business realities. This includes advising on hiring, employment terms, performance management and exits, protecting local compliance while maintaining cross-border consistency with central workforce management.

      Labor relations and collective engagement

      In specific jurisdictions, we advise on managing engagement with employee representatives and unions. Our practice lawyers support negotiations and dispute prevention, helping with consultation processes that work for both local labor dynamics and broader workforce strategies.

      Workforce change, reorganizations and transactions

      From integrations and separations to reorganizations and M&A due diligence, we advise on labor and employment law-related transactions. Working closely with our business advisory teams, we help manage workforce impacts as structures change, supporting legally sound implementation across borders.

      Cross-border coordination and workforce governance

      Acting as a central coordination point for employment and labor law matters, we help local counsel align approaches across countries and support governance frameworks that bring legal consistency to workforce decisions, reducing touchpoints and driving procedural efficiencies.
