On March 7, 2019, a 20-person-strong multidisciplinary global team of tax advisers, immigration experts and lawyers from 13 member firms out of 10 countries will join forces under the Alliott Group/Global Mobility banner to co-sponsor the annual Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM) Global Mobility European Conference in Amsterdam.
Taking place at the Hotel Okura in Amsterdam, this one-day conference will bring together over 300 global mobility and HR professionals from some 100 international companies that have expatriate populations. Attendees will come from across Europe and from a variety of industries including Retail, Energy, Shipping, Manufacturing, Logistics, IT, Management Consultancy, Auditing, Pharmaceuticals and more. Companies represented include IKEA, Booking.com, Nike, Heineken, Unilever and Samsung.
Luc Lamy, EMEA Chair of Alliott Group/Global Mobility, comments: “The FEM Global Mobility Conference forms an integral part of Alliott Group/Global Mobility’s ‘go to market’ strategy which is aimed at developing visibility of the specialist local expertise available to clients in most of the world’s commercial centres. Indeed, Alliott Group’s team of collaborative, trusted advisers are active across 65 countries in the fields of policies, procedures, immigration, tax and social security. We are positioned perfectly to make that vital difference to the success of our clients’ assignments.”
Alliott Group’s investment and involvement in this event extends to not only an exhibition stand, but also sponsorship of the pre-event drinks reception on Wednesday March 6. Most importantly, however, two of the alliance’s global mobility specialists, Laura Butcher (Sherrards Solicitors, UK) and Stéphanie Lasschuijt (Borrie Expatriate Services, Netherlands) will deliver a 30-minute keynote presentation. Their session will highlight the biggest headaches clients are currently facing, drawing on real case studies to provide practical advice and address the typical questions currently being asked by their clients in today’s uncertain political and economic environment.
Alliott Group COO, Giles Brake, adds: “Our presence at this event demonstrates Alliott Group member firms’ collaborative approach to engaging with clients in this niche. Member professionals from the EMEA, Americas and APAC regions are working together through Alliott Group to position themselves as the default outsourcing option for locally based international companies that need strategic support in managing the risks inherent in moving teams of people in and out of different jurisdictions.”
