About

Provided by Gumucio Litigation Corporate

Gumucio Litigation Corporate’s Labour & Employment department advises local and international employers on complex, high-risk and highly regulated employment matters. The practice combines preventive advisory, strategic litigation, negotiation and practical risk management, covering labour disputes, reinstatement claims, collective bargaining, union relations, disciplinary proceedings, workforce restructurings, internal investigations, labour audits, social security and compliance.

The team advises major companies across energy, mining, manufacturing, food and beverage, forestry, telecommunications, media, retail, construction, real estate, education and hospitality.

Recent highlights include the design and implementation of a large-scale disciplinary strategy for Frigorífico BFC involving more than thirty justified dismissals; the successful challenge of an irregular unionisation attempt for Exomad; a sensitive workforce restructuring for El Deber involving 22 employees, including union-protected personnel; and the regularisation of more than 80 positions for Urubó Village.

The department is particularly recognised for complex disciplinary proceedings, union-sensitive matters, workforce crisis management and strategic defence before labour, administrative and judicial authorities. Its approach combines technical precision, evidentiary strength and close client support to protect operational continuity and minimise legal and financial exposure.
