Labour & Employment

Labor & employment law plays a critical role in every business. While the more ‘traditional’ pressures of employment relationships still exist, the workplace is experiencing unforeseen change brought about by global trends such as digitization at work, the gig economy and the improving entrepreneurial culture. The new reality in which businesses are operating means that companies now more than ever need to adapt to these changing dynamics.

Aguilar Castillo Love has a standout reputation in transaction- and corporate-related labor and employment matters. Our practice is employer focused, assisting clients to be ready for – not just react to – this changing landscape. The labor team’s relevance, at a local and regional level, is reflected in the fact that we represent the largest employers in the region.

Our team has a remarkable capacity for understanding a company’s needs and provides the best, and business-focused legal solutions, working across contentious and non-contentious mandates. We regularly advise HR managers and legal teams on compliance programs and investigations, on sexual harassment and workplace harassment investigative procedures.

We are currently handling a number of potentially precedent-setting cases in the area of discriminatory dismissal, an area of significant growth in Central America and in Costa Rica in particular.
