Employment: Elite - Spain
What the Team is Known For
The Spanish law firm Garrigues is renowned for its excellence in employment mandates, often catering for a diverse clientele from the banking, insurance and telecommunications sectors. The team is frequently instructed to handle large-scale collective redundancies, advising on negotiations with trade unions and local or European works councils on high-profile matters involving the closure of travel agencies, offices and manufacturing plants. Garrigues has been further involved in assisting corporates with furlough schemes. Collective bargaining agreements are often handled by the law firm, as are employee restructurings, while also supporting employers in subsequent mediation or litigation where unions seek to oppose new measures. Clients also benefit from a huge team of lawyers spread across multiple offices, which enables the law firm both to provide sufficient resources for major matters and to offer local expertise on smaller contentious mandates. With its prowess in defending high-value claims brought by top executives, Garrigues complements its excellent offering.
