Analysis of the legal impact of the expansions of our consulting company to European Union markets.

Dear consultant, It is with great pleasure that I can announce that our organization, JP Consulting Inc, has decided to open offices in Europe. We expect to hire local consultants in these offices and offer the same type of services there. We are considering opening offices in Paris, London and Berlin. Our management team is worrying about the differences in employee privacy laws in these locations and we are asking you to research the differences in employee privacy laws and regulations and compare them to the ones in US/Illinois as well as US/California. This is typically the kind of research that would be handled by our legal department but they are currently swamped with defending a lawsuit bought against us because of the unfortunate actions of one of our consultants and reduced resources caused by a large group of lawyers and paralegals that resigned after winning the "mega-super-bigball-lottery" in an office lottery pool last week!

Please present your report (5-10 pages) to senior management.
