How can I add two perpendicular velocities that are close to c?

I have two objects moving at speeds near that of light and they are moving perpendicular to each other.

Lab frame is S, I have a nucleus moving at velocity of V with respect to S. The nucleus is at rest in it's own frame S'. From the nucleus an electron is emitted with velocity v' perpendicular to the direction of V. What is the velocity v of the electron in the lab frame S?
