About

Provided by Prieto Abogados

Labor matters are an important issue in any company, in merger and acquisition processes, corporate restructuring and during the normal operation of any business, which is why Prieto has acquired solid experience and practice in labor matters.

The labor department has counseled clients in the establishment of incentive programs for executives and employees, collective bargaining, labor due diligence stages, the organization of human resources departments and the acquisition, restructuring and transformation of companies.

Our labor team is actively involved in labor lawsuits of different types and judicial complexity, obtaining results considerably better than official statistics.
