Labour & Employment

About

Provided by Santamarina y Steta SC

S+S offers legal services in labour and employment matters. Our lawyers are skilled in handling individual and collective (union) litigations, as well as in interpreting and applying the Federal Labor Law and its regulations. We represent clients before the local and federal conciliation and arbitration boards, including strike calls for the revision of collective bargaining agreements, economic conflicts and representation in union certification processes. 

We also represent clients before administrative labor authorities, such as the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare and the local offices and labor ministries in several Mexican States, especially in connection with labor inspections, as well as in defending the client from administrative sanctions and fines. 

We practice legal-labour audits to determine the level of fulfillment of their employment related obligations both for corrective purposes and for assessing businesses in case of purchase. We also provide legal assistance regarding the unionization or not of workers, restructuring of collective bargaining agreements, closing or downsizing of any business under friendly or hostile environments and transfers of personnel. 

We are experts in assisting companies in defining legal labor/union strategies. Provided the characteristics of our clients, some of which have facilities in several locations within the Mexican Republic, we can provide these services in any part of the country.
