Our firm provides services on all the legal aspects of employment relations as well as on the practice and definition of policies for Human Resources matters. This practice area regularly demands assistance in labor disputes held at different Courts throughout the country, and also at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.
We complement this practice area with services offered in relation to social security issues and represent clients and industries in collective bargaining agreements and matters.
The gist of our firm’s practice mainly involves assisting employers in all aspects of labor relations, policies and practices (including litigation), and representing them in their collective bargaining and outsourcing matters.
By virtue of representing international and national large companies, we have come to work almost along all lines of labor matters affecting businesses, such as: Socur S.A., Mercado Libre, Banco Santander, Viscofan and Marfrig.
Having labor law professors within our team has proven to be very important to keep abreast of an area of practice which is very dynamic due to the frequency and speed of amendments of legislation and of judicial paradigms.
