Business Immigration Seminar: Current and Emerging Human Resources and Immigration Issues Affecting Japanese Companies and Nationals in the U.S.

On March 5, 2013, Kramer Levin's Business Immigration Group will host a seminar entitled "Current and Emerging Human Resources and Immigration Issues Affecting Japanese Companies and Nationals in the U.S." at the firm's New York offices.

The program will include discussions of the following topics:

• The current immigration laws and changes we expect will be made in 2013 affecting U.S. subsidiaries of Japanese companies and their Japanese executives, managers and professionals.
• The employee relations, compensation and upward mobility policies and procedures that should be put in place to avoid even the appearance of unfair treatment of expats over American staff.
• The essentials that every Japanese company needs to know about maintaining immigration status for employees and their families, and about stepped-up immigration enforcement.
• The training that should be provided to management to better understand the differing cultures and business practices and requirements.
• The I-9 requirements and penalties for I-9 violations, and what companies should understand about E-Verify.
• The human resource policies that should be implemented to lessen the possibility of future litigation.
