    Indonesia's New Criminal Law Framework: Key Changes Multinationals Can't Ignore

    One Directive, many jurisdictions: Pay transparency across the EU

    The countdown has ended, but the compliance race is just beginning. In this episode of "A Matter of Law," host Marion Guertault and other local employment practitioners from across Europe discuss the fragmented rollout of the EU Pay Transparency Directive following the June 2026 deadline.
