Highly Mobile Workers and the Coordination of Social Security in the EU - Eva van Ooij - ebook

The Brussels “EU Bubble” is a high-pressure, fast-churn and competitive environment where career success can often come at a high personal cost. Drawing on his own experience and the collective wisdom of many Brussels insiders, Jeroen Reijnen explains “the art of working and living in the EU Bubble” − in other words, how best to achieve a positive work-life balance in a city where people come and go, and burnout, rootlessness and loneliness are all too common.As Jeroen explains: “Where 'Big in Brussels' started out just as a book about making a career, it evolved into one about how to live the 'Good Life' in the EU Bubble.” His advice is practical, realistic and engaging.

This book acts as a guide to companies doing business with parties in the European Union. It provides the reader with answers to key questions of private international law. When and under which conditions can the court(s) of an EU Member State assume jurisdiction and which law will be applied? Will the resulting judgment be recognised and enforced in other EU Member States? In addition to a general explanation of the system of private international law in the EU Member States, the book provides answers on questions of jurisdiction and applicable law in a selection of areas: the negotiation and conclusion of general contracts, consumer contracts, individual employment contracts, directors' liability and tort. The integrated treatment of jurisdiction and applicable law for each of these subjects also makes the book an excellent guide to legal practice.
