Brazil > Labour and employment

The employment practice at Pinheiro Neto Advogados balances a busy non-contentious and contentious workload, where restructurings feature alongside negotiations with unions and executive-level compensation matters. The firm’s full-service structure allows the labour practice to work collaboratively with corporate specialists in the context of M&A and capital market transactions. Covering both individual and collective claims, the group is frequently engaged by major companies in administrative and judicial proceedings. Labour litigation is an area of particular focus for Luís Antônio Ferraz Mendes, who often advises on bet-the-company cases and collective bargaining. Multinational companies from the financial and technology sectors regularly seek Mauricio Froes Guidi‘s support in employment matters. Thais Galo maintains a broad practice covering hiring strategies, individual and collective lay-offs and reorganisations. Manuela Mendes Prata coordinates a number of individual suits and class actions, including cases initiated by the Labour Prosecutor’s Office.
