Bıçak Law Firm is pleased to announce its participation in the ILF Virtual Conference 2026, organized by the International Law Firms (ILF) network, a global association of independent law firms. The conference will take place on 8 May 2026 at 3:00 PM CEST via Microsoft Teams and will focus on the highly topical theme of “Cross-Border Employment in the Digital Era”.

As global business models continue to evolve under the influence of digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and remote work, cross-border employment structures have become increasingly complex. The conference will bring together leading legal professionals from multiple jurisdictions to provide comparative insights, practical guidance, and forward-looking perspectives on the legal challenges shaping the modern workforce. According to the official conference agenda, the event will open with welcoming remarks by ILF Chairman Tony Maalouli, followed by expert-led sessions covering key topics such as employment in the age of artificial intelligence, cross-border remote work and mobility, and the legal implications of Employer of Record (EOR) models.

Prof. Dr. Vahit Bıçak, Chairman of Bıçak Law Firm, will contribute as a speaker with a dedicated session titled “Cross-Border Remote Employment”, scheduled between 4:00 PM and 4:15 PM CEST. His presentation will address critical legal dimensions of cross-border remote work, including taxation risks, social security coordination, immigration constraints, and corporate structuring challenges, with a particular focus on Türkiye. The broader programme also includes sessions by distinguished international practitioners on:

• Employment in the Age of AI
• Cross-Border Remote Work and Mobility
• Employer of Record Models in Hungary and Beyond
• Pay Transparency in the European Union

The conference will conclude with an interactive Q&A and open dialogue session, enabling participants to engage directly with speakers and exchange views on emerging regulatory trends and compliance challenges in international employment law.

Why This Conference Matters

Cross-border remote employment is no longer a niche phenomenon but a structural feature of the global economy. Companies operating across jurisdictions increasingly face complex legal exposure, including permanent establishment risks, multi-jurisdictional tax liabilities, conflicting employment laws, and regulatory enforcement uncertainties. This conference offers a valuable platform for legal practitioners, HR professionals, and business leaders to stay ahead of these developments and to better understand how to structure compliant and sustainable cross-border employment models.
