Labour

Our labour team provides legal advice to clients on Labor Law matters, both individual and collective, across key sectors such as oil and gas, banking, insurance, mining, construction, energy, telecommunications, health, among many others.

In individual labor law, we offer comprehensive advice from hiring to termination of employment, explaining the applicable regulations, alternatives, and their consequences. We conduct labor audits (Due Diligence) to assess regulatory compliance and detect contingencies, particularly in mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

In the collective labor law field, we manage negotiations and conflicts, handling administrative and judicial claims. Our team, one of the largest in the market, represents companies in litigation across various jurisdictions, including the Supreme Court, and currently manages over 4,500 labor lawsuits. Pablo Venarotti, one of the leading partners in the area, is recognized by Chambers & Partners as a key figure in labor law.

Regarding SECLOS (Social Security Law) and litigation, we represent clients in both administrative and judicial stages of labor claims, covering issues such as dismissals, wage differences, discrimination, and harassment. Our service includes representation in the City of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires, as well as coordination of legal strategies throughout the rest of the country.

We also provide advice on the opening and closure of branches in Argentina, managing the full process of starting operations and liquidating local companies. Additionally, we implement voluntary retirement programs, from estimating compensation packages to individual negotiations.
