Shift your legal admin
and compliance burden

Ease the workload of your legal team by shifting the legal admin and compliance for global hiring to Horizons. Horizons becomes the Employer of Record (EOR) for your global team, taking on legal obligations and employer liability. Horizons ensures compliant labor contracts are in place, that all legally-mandated taxes and deductions are paid, and that key HR decisions, such as termination, follow the letter of the law.

How Horizons supports legal teams

When Horizons becomes the EOR for your global workforce, it ensures labor contracts are compliant, that necessary taxes are withheld and that payroll and HR regulations are followed.

Save on legal costs

With legal experts in the country of hire, Horizons drafts labor contracts and oversees ongoing compliance so you don’t have to.

Engage experts

Horizons has in-house legal experts, with in depth knowledge of labor and tax laws around the world.

Manage liability

As the legal employer of your team overseas, Horizons becomes liable as the employer under employment and tax laws.

How legal teams benefit

Your legal team can benefit from an EOR solution in the following ways:

Key takeaways

01. No subsidiary set up — with an EOR solution you completely avoid the legal process associated with setting up a subsidiary or legal entity overseas

02. Reduced legal costs — as specialists in the legalities of overseas hire, we can often carry out the task more cost-effectively.

03.Compliant labor contracts, drafted by experts.

04. Legal risk management — as the Employer of Record we take on legal liability as the employer.

05. Manage the paper trail — through our EOR platform you have clear visibility of all legal documentation for your global teams.
