Quando 3.000 dos melhores advogados em direito do trabalho individual e colectivo de mais de 75 países formam uma aliança dedicada a aconselhar os empregadores, o resultado é um poderoso recurso legal para a gestão: a Employment Law Alliance. Presente em todos os 50 estados dos EUA, e em mais de 300 cidades em todo o mundo, somos apoiados pela força e pelos recursos de algumas das melhores sociedades de advogados do mundo.
Uma disputa sobre salários e horários de trabalho em Nova Iorque e um manual do trabalhador em Nova Deli; a abertura de uma fábrica em Taipei e o encerramento de uma fábrica em Toronto; uma negociação sindical em Barcelona e uma impugnação de despedimento sem justa causa em Boston; um vendedor de topo na cidade do México leva a sua lista de clientes para um concorrente em Milão. Nos dias de hoje os empregadores deparam-se com uma complexa diversidade de assuntos. E porque cada decisão que tomam pode ter consequências importantes, empregadores inteligentes querem aconselhamento legal abrangente e pro-activo.
Muitas sociedades de advogados auto-denominam-se como “nacionais” ou “internacionais”, apresentando várias sucursais – mas a sua sucursal mais próxima pode estar longe de onde o cliente necessita de ajuda. E terá a sucursal realmente advogados em direito do trabalho individual e colectivo com a larga experiência que o cliente realmente necessita? A Employment Law Alliance tem.
Porque temos advogados em todo o mundo, existe verdadeiramente cobertura 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana. Se necessitar de aconselhamento a meio da noite ou simplesmente de resolver rapidamente um problema laboral internacional, os advogados da ELA podem resolver as suas preocupações de um lado do mundo enquanto dorme do outro lado.

I recently participated in the ELA-sponsored webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act. I was most impressed with that presentation. It was extremely helpful and very worthwhile. I have also been utilizing the ELA’s online Global Employer Handbook. This compliance tool is absolutely terrific. I am familiar with several other products that purport to provide up-to- date employment law information and I believe that this resource is superior to other similar compliance manuals. I am delighted that the ELA provides this free to its members’ clients.

In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

Altra Industrial Motion Inc. has multiple locations in the U.S., as well as Central America, Europe, and Asia. The Employment Law Alliance has proved to be a great asset in assisting us in dealing with employment issues and matters in such diverse venues as Mexico, Australia, and Spain. We have obtained excellent results using the ELA network for matters ranging from a multi-state review of employment policies to assisting with individual employment issues in a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
In one instance, we were faced with an employment dispute with a former associate in Mexico that had the potential for substantial economic exposure. The matter had been pending for over a year, and we were not confident in the employment advice we had been receiving. I obtained a referral to the ELA counsel in Mexico, who was able to obtain a favorable resolution of the dispute in only a few days. Based on our experiences with the ELA, we would not hesitate to use its many resources for future employment law needs.
We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.Paul Nix
