About

Provided by Brigard Urrutia

Our Labour & Employment team advises clients on domestic and foreign recruitment, management of individual and collective relations, the implications of executing employment contracts in Colombia and adoption of labor policies, among other services. In addition to regular advice in day-to-day requirements, our team accompanies clients in disciplinary investigations and procedures, in negotiations for terminations of employment contracts, redundancies and massive layoffs, voluntary retirement plans, restructuring processes, labor harassment cases, as well as in the design, implementation or modification of benefit plans. 

Our team also has broad experience in representing clients before labor courts and administrative authorities, executes conciliation agreements at the Ministry of Labor, advises and represents companies and individuals before the Pensions and Contributions Management Unit. In social security matters, we advise affiliates in pension recognition (old age and disability) and represent them before the competent authorities for correction and/or re-liquidation of pensions. We advise companies with pension obligations in procedures to normalize pension liabilities and we accompany clients in claims before the health system for economic benefits.

We also have the privilege of being the only Colombian member of the international alliance Ius Laboris, the main network specialized in labor law, advising clients of different economic sectors.
