Lawyer Rankings
Colombia > Labour and employment
Considered by many as a benchmark for labour and employment law in Colombia, boutique firm Alvarez, Lievano, Laserna S.A.S ‘provides solutions that adjust not only to compliance with the law, but also to compliance with company culture’. The full-spectrum practice fields premier offerings across all key pillars of the area — including collective bargaining negotiations, advisory and compliance work, and litigation — and draws on one of the deepest benches in the market, with 54 specialist lawyers. Among the senior names to note, firm founder and labour law head Carlos Alvarez Pereira
is a labour law veteran who continues to be active in high-stakes disputes and collective bargaining matters. Claudia Liévano handles advisory and contentious matters but is particularly noted for her top-level experience in collective bargaining processes, including recent work for Ecopetrol, and Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Bogotá. Felipe Alvarez Echeverry specialises in collective bargaining and labour consulting, with niche expertise in the aviation sector; he recently advised LATAM Airlines on collective bargaining matters. Additionally, Maria Lucia Laserna Angarita is recommended for labour audits and inspections, as well as collective and individual labour law; while Carlos Arturo Barco Alzate leads the litigation area. At associate level, senior Andrea Ortega stands out for her focus on labour due diligence and consulting work.
