Regional Capabilities

Our Firm provides advice on all the legal aspects of employment relations as well as on the practice and definition of policies for Human Resources matters. Labor Law regularly demands assistance in labor disputes held at different courts throughout the country, as well as at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. We provide assistance in relation to social security issues, and we also represent clients and industries in collective bargaining agreements and matters.

Having labor law professors within our team has proven to be significant in keeping abreast in this area of practice, which is very dynamic due to the frequency and speed of amendments of legislation and of judicial paradigms.

Experience

We provided training programs to employees and the Human Resources Department of Marfrig Group (Brazil meat processing group) and of Arcos Dorados Uruguay S.A. (franchisee of Mc Donald’s) regarding health and safety under the law.
Our lawyers advised TAYM Uruguay S.A. in the contract renewal with National Port Administration (ANP) in the City of Colonia, and also with the Port union (SUPRA), including restructuring processes.
Our Firm acted in collective bargainings under Salary Councils framework in representation of Marfrig Group.
We advised a ceramic industry leader on a strike with the construction union (SUNCA) following the dismissal of several employees.
We advised Marfrig in internal investigations regarding labor harassment.
Our Firm represented Banco Santander in the negotiation of a collective bargaining agreement with the union of the banking sector (AEBU) and carried negotiations until execution of such agreement.
We represented Candysur S.A. (ground handling company at the International Airport of Montevideo) in the negotiations before the Salary Councils. These negotiations were particularly challenging because all the airline and airport related activities had been severely struck by the bankruptcy of the national airline PLUNA. Our Firm managed to negotiate with remarkable success, which ended with the signing with the union a collective agreement that provided for salary adjustments below to the salary agreements generally set for the industry at the Salary Councils.
