Description:

Employers subject to export control obligations must still comply with laws against discrimination on the basis of immigration status, national origin, or citizenship.

Government regulators expect of companies to comply with export control regulations that protect sensitive goods, software, and technology in their hiring processes. That may create challenges.

Companies will need to navigate these competing compliance obligations and ensure that in-house counsel and compliance professionals responsible for export control programs consult with counsel responsible for labor and employment matters.

In this webinar we will offer detailed expectations and “best practices,” which may be helpful to company compliance professionals.

With this webinar we want to ensure that the individuals responsible for managing the hiring and onboarding processes receive training on discrimination based on citizenship, immigration status, and national origin.
