Round the World in 60 Minutes: Current Issues and Updates for Global Equity Programs

New York partner Martha Steinman will moderate the panel discussion "Round the World in 60 Minutes: Current Issues and Updates for Global Equity Programs" at the American Bar Association Section of Taxation 2019 Mid-Year Tax Meeting in New Orleans. Washington, D.C. partner Meg McIntyre will join the panel.

In today's world it is typical for U.S. companies to make equity grants to employees worldwide. However, global equity programs can be risky enterprises if the issuing company does not consider the myriad issues associated with global programs – tax, securities law, labor, data privacy and currency control rules all can come into play, and the rules vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may change in any jurisdiction with little or no notice. This session will cover topics of current interest in this complex area.
