Your business is going global. Your employer footprint is going with it.

Woodhead's Law Practice is a solo firm built around one thing: helping growing companies get their international employer structure right. That includes foundational labor and employment architecture, EOR contract review, contractor classification, country entry, supply chain due diligence, and all of the other decisions that determine whether your global hiring holds up to scrutiny later.

Halima Woodhead is an international labor and employment lawyer with fourteen years in the field. She has global expertise and particularly deep experience in Latin America. Before private practice, she advised foreign governments on labor and employment legislation, regulations, and enforcement frameworks; led cross-border investigations, including personally interviewing over a thousand workers across countries and sectors; and held foreign governments accountable for their labor-related treaty obligations. That perspective is unusual on the employer side, and useful for companies that want to understand how compliance actually gets evaluated, not just how it gets documented.

She works exclusively with employers — and specifically with growing companies — because that's where and when the hardest decisions get made. Companies built soundly from the start don't have to be unbuilt later.

Most clients are founder-led companies with Seed/Series A/Series B funding, or growing companies further along that are operating internationally without in-house employment counsel.

The Practice is based in Western North Carolina; services are available to companies situated anywhere in the United States.
