WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 5, 2019 – Labor & Employment Shareholder Kelly Dobbs Bunting of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP will speak at the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of International Law’s Spring Meeting April 11 in Washington, D.C. Bunting will speak on a panel titled, “The Accidental Tourist: How Domestic Laws may Affect Global Employment Policy and Practice,” which will examine the challenges and pitfalls of exporting “standardized” employment policies and practices.
