Labour & Employment

About

Provided by Jiménez Peña

Jiménez Peña has one of the leading labor and employment practices in the Dominican Republic, excelling in both labor advisory and litigation. The team regularly assists local and multinational companies with hiring and terminating local and foreign employees, creating and implementing internal labor policies and regulations, complying with labor and social security laws, as well as managing relationships with labor unions, including the negotiation of collective agreements. The lawyers are equally comfortable providing labor advice linked to transactions such as acquisitions and incorporations, as they are providing day-to-day advice and assessments.

The attorneys have broad industry experience representing companies from sectors such as tourism, hospitality, manufacturing, free zones, major league baseball, civil aviation, mining, and construction, among others.

Strength in labor litigation, our team litigates extensively for clients and has an outstanding success rate, including in precedent-setting labor claims brought against employers. We have notable experience handling investigations and criminal cases involving violations incurred by workers. 

Leading the way in preventative consultation, the firm was one of the pioneers in developing a preventative consultation practice and our advice has proved extremely effective in helping clients avoid conflicts.
