We act on behalf of high-profile clients in a wide range of industries, including multinationals, prominent banking clients such as Banco Sabadell, pharmaceutical giants such as Roche, and sector-leaders such as Barceló. Our client portfolio continues to expand- we can highlight the addition of Toshiba and Pronovias in the last 12 months.
Our labour department pioneers innovative ways of advising clients, such as the coordination of a Project Management Office (PMO) for the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements, the implementation of technology tools such as our dismissal calculator, and the development of a Labor Smart Contract based on BLOCKCHAIN technology.
We also use professional file management system “Integra”- an IT tool which enables clients to consult the information held by the Firm, the status of their affairs; access the documentary flow generated and keep themselves informed of any recent developments, irrespective of their geographical locations or time zone.
