Annual IBA Employment and Diversity Law Conference 2025

A conference presented by the IBA Employment and Industrial Relations Law Committee and the IBA Diversity and Equality Law Committee

Braving the uncertainties of this new world of work

Please join us as we discuss with international employment lawyers from across the globe, the most recent legal developments and best practices of the new workplace.

Topics include:

• Adapting to digital transformation in employment: regulatory frameworks for telecommuting, platform-based labour, and protecting digital labour rights
• Reputation management - for example, managing employee activism, and broader commentary (e.g. Glassdoor reviews); dealing with peer, market, and press interest in litigation and internal investigations
• International workforce mobility and legal implications: managing cross-border employment regulations, immigration policies, diversity & cultural nuances and the rights of migrant workers
• Global legislative and market trends in non-competes and other restrictive covenants
• The tax on being a woman: gender-based pricing discrimination – dealing with the 'Pink Tax'
• The end of DEI? Has check box compliance and extremist activism destroyed equity in the workplace?
• The war for talent, labour shortages and demographic changes: catalyst for workplace diversity and inclusion?
