Back in November last year I wrote a series of posts here on all the whizzy new features offered by our updated international employment law resource, Global Edge 2.0. Since then (I claim only substantial credit for this), the thing has just flown out of the door. Recent client feedback on it has included these … Continue Reading
If you have become weary of the several seconds it can sometimes take you to get from opening up Global Edge to reaching information on your usual country of choice, we can help you! Global Edge 2.0 allows each country what is effectively its own home page containing immediate access to helpful summaries, future legal … Continue Reading
One of the traditional shortcomings of conventional international employment law resources is that they are very good at what was and not bad on what is, but quite hopeless on what will be. So it takes a pretty special product to give you not just news of international employment law developments in the pipeline but … Continue Reading
They say that if you are prepared to take a sufficiently comprehensive trawl through the options list and are not over-burdened by considerations of practicality or taste, there are 8 million possible permutations on a new Mini. You can’t do that with Global Edge 2.0, but who really wants 8 million choices? While it doesn’t … Continue Reading
I used to think that our Global Edge International Employment Law product was pretty slick. So did others, as we secured a Legal Business UK Award for Legal Technology Team of the year. But now we have Global Edge 2.0, updated, uprated, up-scaled and just generally upped, and that is a wholly new set of capabilities … Continue Reading
The Squires international employment law portal continues its growth with the release last week of its Nigeria section. No more desperate internet searches, no more conflicting information or worrying about whether you are getting the whole picture – Global Edge offers you the opportunity to research specific questions or to compare and contrast Nigerian labour … Continue Reading
After a breathless April saw Global Edge secure awards for lawyer innovation and technology in London and Dubai, our celebrated international Employment Law portal starts May with the addition of a new jurisdiction, Portugal. As a taster, did you know that they have over 1,000 different ways of cooking cod there, and that despite 95% … Continue Reading
Well, in the learned words of the Squires’ Labour and Employment global co-head, OMG. Hot on the heels of its success at the Legal Business Awards earlier in the week, our international employment law portal Global Edge also triumphed last night in the Middle East Legal Awards 2018 hosted by Legal Week and the Association … Continue Reading
Told you it was great! In a whirl of sequins and inappropriate shoes at London’s Grosvenor Hotel on Wednesday night, the Squire Patton Boggs Global Edge product secured the coveted Legal Business UK Award for Legal Technology Team of the year. The Award “recognises the law firms, in-house teams and Chambers that have pushed through … Continue Reading
What do you not know about Finland that might help you with your HR operations there? Is it that there are no polar bears there, or is that merely reassuring rather than helpful? Is it that back in 1906 it was the first country in Europe to give women the vote, or is that uplifting … Continue Reading

I first became interested in employee privacy and monitoring many many years ago. A client received a complaint from an employee who had just discovered that his brief interlude having sex with a colleague in the stockroom had been caught on the camera placed there to cut down on theft. I forget the precise gist … Continue Reading
In April we posted a fairly shameless plug for our new labour and employment product, Global Edge. Shameless, but justified. If you have international HR responsibilities (in the traditional sense of “will be blamed if anything goes wrong in your overseas network“) then you should really take a look https://www.employmentlawworldview.com/spb-launches-ground-breaking-reference-tool-for-international-hr-and-legal-teams/. Global Edge will provide you … Continue Reading
