Under the coordination of Helda Carla Andrade Alves, Cfa's team has extensive experience in individual and collective litigation, as well as negotiation of collective agreements and conventions. The firm also work to prevent labor liabilities, reviewing internal procedures and advising on matters relating to occupational safety, profit-sharing plans, stock options, director's remuneration, hiring of outsourced workers, administrative proceedings, tax assessments and conduct adjustment terms.
One of the distinctive features of the labour sector is that it provides on-site training for the client's employees, whether on issues regarding management or routine services. The training topics, based on the company's most recent experiences, are mainly those related to compliance, occupational safety and the prevention of labour risks, such as those related to workers' conduct.
Cfa has also been recognized in The Legal 500 (Tax and Labour practices) and among the most admired full service law firms in Brazil and in Minas Gerais (1st place) by Análise Advocacia, that also ranked the labour sector for its work in the steel and mining industries, which include the firm's largest and most loyal clients.
Committed to the constant development of the department, the firm invests in the education of its lawyers, especially in Compliance and Governance, a topic that permeates the entire labour field and allows the team to provide reliable legal advice, with a preventative approach.
