Legal Counsel for Executives and Employees in the Global Workplace


Lawyers International Network for Employees and Executives

Exclusively Focused on Employee-Side Employment Issues

People working across borders face complex legal questions at every stage—before they accept an international assignment, while they are working abroad, and when their employment ends. LINEE member firms advise on the full range of issues that arise in these situations, including:

  • Employment contracts

  • Compensation and bonus arrangements

  • Restrictive covenants

  • Severance and termination benefits

  • Wrongful dismissal

  • Discrimination and harassment

  • Whistleblower protections

  • Repatriation claims

LINEE’s focus on employees is the defining feature of our network. We represent executives, managers, and employees in their native and host countries, not the companies they work for. No matter your industry or native or host country, or whether you are preparing for an international assignment or facing a difficult situation abroad, contact LINEE first.

A Network of Leading Lawyers and Law Firms

LINEE member firms and lawyers have earned high professional ratings in their home countries and the respect of their peers worldwide. Our network was founded in 2013 to meet the legal needs of executives and employees working across borders. Member firms are selected for their expertise, their reputation in their home jurisdictions, and their experience advising senior professionals.

For lawyers seeking referrals, LINEE provides a reliable network of employment law specialists across jurisdictions worldwide. Each member firm is devoted to representing employees. Your client will be advised by an accomplished and experienced practitioner whose practice is fully aligned with their interests.

LINEE also welcomes applications from employee-side employment law firms that are not yet members of the network. Member firms exchange referrals and gain visibility through LINEE's website and social networks. They participate in LINEE programming and build professional relationships with pre-eminent lawyers who share the same commitment and values. If your firm represents employees and executives, and you want to develop your international referral network, we invite you to contact us about membership.
