The considerations and issues regarding global mobility of talent regularly play a role in matters handled by Dentons. Dentons itself operates around the globe through more than 160+ locations spanning over 80+ countries across Africa, Asia Pacific, Canada, Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Russia, CIS and the Caucasus, the UK and the US. The issues faced by our multinational clients are often the same issues faced by our global law firm. Dentons can identify and manage global mobility concerns from first-hand experience.

Dentons' Global Mobility practice serves clients’ needs around the world—both in major business destinations and in less well-traveled locales often overlooked by other law firms.

Our firm’s first-hand experience resolving global mobility issues uniquely qualifies us to understand and guide multinational clients as they expand and do business around the world.

When you partner with Dentons, you tap into our full range of experience: not only in immigration law, but also in related legal fields—including corporate, tax, employment and employee benefits, litigation, capital markets and real estate. We collaborate with colleagues throughout the firm to identify and comprehensively address a wide range of complex issues such as:

• Movement of employees from one jurisdiction to another
• Immigration consequences of mergers, acquisitions, restructures, reductions in force and new company formation
• Immigration investment structures
• Compliance issues for employers, including employment agreements, personnel policies, training and expatriate assignments
• Government audits, worksite raids and other enforcement actions
• Guidance for high-net-worth individuals on topics ranging from pre-immigration income and estate planning to post-immigration relinquishment of resident or citizenship status
