Our specialised, dedicated team of 50 Labour Law and Social Security experts offers comprehensive, tailored advice on all matters related to business and labour relations, including:

  • Collective bargaining processes
  • Labour force restructuring processes
  • Hiring, including senior management
  • Collective and senior management dismissals
  • Pension obligations  
  • Litigation
  • Labour audits

    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.
