Team Services

The Labor and Social Security practice of EC Rubio understands the entire business of the clients it advises. From the outset we are committed to advising and advocating for our clients at every step of the way in any labor matter. We have experience in all phases of the employer-employee relationship. Our labor services focus on preventing litigation, economic contingencies, and consequences that may affect your work environment, expose your assets, or put productivity and stability at risk. We measure and correct labor risks through audits and permanent advisory programs to solve daily problems.

We also advise our clients in the drafting and negotiation of individual and collective labor contracts; we prepare and apply alternative/flexible compensation schemes, as well as the implementation of tactical measures on all types of labor contract terminations, including the preparation and execution of termination notices, among others.

Although we take a preventive approach, in many cases litigation is inevitable. Therefore, in order to help our clients as best as we can, we have created a strong team specialized in litigation. This gives us a unique perspective on solutions for employers facing litigation, either individually or with unions, including due to breach of contract and non-compete agreements, wrongful termination and any other claim or lawsuit anywhere in Mexico. In addition, we offer solutions, advice, and litigation on social security and workers’ housing fund issues, among others.
