Mounting legal bills may lead clients to consider settling their civil legal disputes instead of proceeding to trial. Counsel may be taken aback by the degree to which a foreign jurisdiction's laws and practice vary from those of familiar courts. "Settlement of Civil Disputes: Overview" explains statutory duties to attempt settlement, forms and formalities, confidentiality protections, third-party rights, remedies for breach, enforcement of settlement terms, and steps to set aside settlement agreements.

There's money to be made when advertising deploys, whether via influencers, in-game ads, product placement, catchy jingles, or billboards. Clients seeking to sell their products on distant shores face regulators and lawmakers who oversee the medium and the message in very different legal and cultural contexts. For the following jurisdictions, counsel can access an overview of the framework regulating the advertising industry. These resources consider rules and standards required for substantiating advertising claims and for making disclosures, complaints procedures, issues of freedom of speech and expression, regulation of advertising methods and content, industry-specific regulations, restrictions on advertising to children, protections for intellectual property rights, and safeguards around the use of people in ads.

Counsel for global banks must navigate conflicting legal requirements. Their clients must abide by bank-secrecy and data-protection laws, which vary widely by country and can impose sanctions for noncompliance. However, those same bank clients also need to disclose customer data to third parties for routine business purposes. "Bank Secrecy Laws," available for nearly two dozen jurisdictions, helps Practical Law Global subscribers manage these sometimes competing considerations.

Not all bribes are as obvious as an envelope stuffed with cash. Evaluating compliance with anti-bribery and corruption laws is a key step in scrutinizing the business operations of a potential acquisition target or joint venture in a cross-border transaction. "Anti-Corruption: Private Acquisitions and Joint Ventures" helps counsel get up to speed on enforcement authorities, offenses and available defenses, people and entities that could be liable, risk mitigation, any safe harbors or exemptions, and potential penalties and sanctions.

Litigation is expensive, and some clients can't afford it. One option for financing a civil case is third-party litigation funding. This tool involves a third party (that lacks any prior connection to the litigation) agreeing to finance all or part of the litigation's legal costs, in return for a portion of any proceeds the funded litigant recovers by settlement or collection of a damages award. Jurisdictions around the world have varying approaches to this type of financing. Thanks to our contributors in the following countries, Practical Law Global subscribers can instantly gain expert insight into when and whether to apply for this type of funding, common terms of financing agreements, and legal and ethical constraints. "Third-Party Litigation Funding: Overview" also addresses legal costs and expenses that such funders usually cover, as well as issues related to disclosure, confidentiality, and attorney-client privilege.

A law firm attorney might jump at the chance to spend time working in another country in a client's legal department. Everyone involved can benefit from an international secondment – an arrangement in which an employee (or group of employees) is temporarily assigned to work for a different part of their employer or employer's group in another jurisdiction or for a different organization in another jurisdiction. Before literally or figuratively embarking on such a journey, it's important to consider a host of related legal issues, such as mandatory local laws and acquired rights, changes to the terms and conditions of employment, and liability. Intellectual property, tax, confidentiality, and discrimination questions can arise. Thanks to these contributors, Practical Law Global subscribers have a trusted local guide for these travels. "International Secondments" is available for the following jurisdictions: Brazil by PL Global and José Carlos Wahle, Maria Luisa Soter, and Luiza Nunes Lemos, Veirano Advogados, https://lnkd.in/g9xt3zDH; Canada by Tamara Ticoll and Khalfan Khalfan, Stikeman Elliott LLP, https://lnkd.in/gdU3TDBd; France by Marijke Granier-Guillemarre, MGG LEGAL, https://lnkd.in/gMWNgSmH; Germany by Dr. Bettina Scharff and Thomas Ubber, Allen & Overy, https://lnkd.in/gHDwF44E; Hong Kong by Patricia Yeung, Howse Williams 何韋律師行, https://lnkd.in/gP228U3h; and Switzerland by Rayan Houdrouge and Kathryn Kruglak, Walder Wyss Ltd., https://lnkd.in/g2GZ8N7f.

Protecting personal information (PI) is a critical compliance issue in China that can impact nearly all organizations. Significant penalties can attach if regulators find a company illegally processing PI. A PI protection audit can help PI processors analyze and identify the legal risks in their China operations. For information about key laws, regulations, and rules, Practical Law Global subscribers can turn to "Personal Information Protection Audit (China)," https://lnkd.in/g_CEDt_g, by Samuel Yang, Chris Fung, and Helen Zhao, AnJie Broad Law Firm, with Practical Law China. In addition to discussing key considerations during audits and practical compliance issues, these contributors address auditing requirements specific to mobile apps, large internet platforms, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory requests, GenAI, and minors.

Feedback is a gift, but few law firms or solicitors relish receiving complaints about their work. Reacting poorly increases the risk of financial, reputational, and relational harm, but responding skillfully can improve a firm's standing in the eyes of clients, legal regulators, and insurers. Counsel on the receiving end of such complaints need to know what to expect and how to respond. Barbara Spoor LL.B (Hons) of CRCS Legal explains the processes involved when a complaint against a law firm in England and Wales is referred to the Legal Ombudsman. After suggesting steps that law firms and solicitors can take to reduce the likelihood that complaints will be referred to the LeO, she explains how the LeO process works, describes potential outcomes, and offers tips for improving results. "Law firm Complaints with the Legal Ombudsman" is available to Practical Law Global subscribers here: https://lnkd.in/gXSuieZG.

A good hire can level up an entire team, while a bad hire can hurt performance and morale. Employers use a range of pre-employment screening to try to select the former and weed out the latter, but data protection laws quickly come into play. In "Pre-Employment Screening and Data Protection Law Requirements" Practical Law Global's contributors examine the requirements for conducting pre-employment screening, the rights of candidates, and the rules around disclosure to third parties. They also address protection and retention of personal data, guidelines related to existing employees vs. third-party workers, and enforcement and sanctions.
