Nicholson y Cano Abogados‘s labour and employment team is particularly recognised for its expertise in complex litigation and regulatory matters, with a strong focus on the oil and gas sector, where it has acted for some of the country’s largest operators in administrative and judicial claims. The practice also contributes to broader regulatory initiatives, including its work with IDEA PYME to develop frameworks addressing employment issues for small businesses and the informal labour market in Argentina. Pablo Javier Venarotti, who co-heads the practice, is a specialist in workforce planning, compensation structures, labour regulations, and commission schemes. He leads the practice alongside Juan Carlos Etchebehere, who advises domestic and international clients across the banking, insurance, mining, energy, and entertainment sectors on labour disputes and collective bargaining negotiations, and Marcela Botta Diego, who focuses on life, health and workplace accident insurance matters.
