In the labor and employment law area we counsel our clients on hiring practices and employment contracts, labor risk and litigation prevention, and individual and collective relationship management. We also assist with social security and immigration matters entailed in expatriating company employees. Should the client so require, we initiate out-of-court dispute resolution processes, administrative procedures with the Ministry of Labor, or legal proceedings.
