General Counsels have found their responsibilities expanding in recent years, particularly with respect to ESG compliance and data privacy. As such, the skills, knowledge and experience required to successfully undertake this role have changed.

The United Kingdom will be voting for its next government on 4 July. As things currently stand, the Labour Party are ahead in the polls and widely tipped to emerge victorious. One area in which the Labour Party proposes significant changes is employment law. This proposed overhaul would affect both employers and workers (in particular contractors and freelancers). The changes would also impact the recruitment industry. If you'd like to find out more about the Labour Party's plans with respect to the UK employment market, we've put together a summary of the key facts. https://lnkd.in/emS78a6Q #UKelection #UKemploymentlaw

One of the main reasons our clients choose to work with us? It's our industry knowledge. We recruit for some complex areas and we make it our mission to stay informed and up to date with global regulatory changes, issues and trends. With so much knowledge circulating across the team, we had the idea of capturing some of it, and sharing it with a wider audience. And so we have created a series of global hiring guides. These guides provide an overview of the current challenges across corporate governance, which have been collated from client insights as well as our own data. Furthermore, there are regional overviews and specific recruitment and salary guidance for the countries where we currently see the highest levels of hiring activity. We also provide an overview of hiring considerations which will help companies looking to expand their teams into new geographies. Guides are available for the following sectors of corporate governance (with more coming soon - watch this space!) - Trade Compliance - Internal Audit - In-House Legal - Data Privacy - ESG, Sustainability & Human Rights All of the above are free to download from our website (link in comments). We'd love to know what you think! And if there are any countries not covered which you'd like additional information on, we'd be happy to help.

Last week, the Leonid team headed back to Stamford 🇬🇧 on a 2-day offsite for a combination of training, team-building and entertainment. As always, there were laughs aplenty as we all tried our hand at a some new games and even tested our culinary skills as we were challenged to create a globally-inspired spread for our BBQ lunch. The theme for this event was 'village people' and if you're a fan of 70s music, then you will hopefully understand why we all look rather silly in some of these photos! #lifeatleonid #teambuilding
